My brother and I are considering a small hog for the holiday meal. I found a listing off of Craigslist for about a 40 lb (estimated weight for 2 more weeks) finished, dressed ready to go hog for $35. Sounds too good to be true.
Thoughts? Is their anything I should be concerned about - as in getting a sick hog which could translate into sick family? $35 just sounds like a steal to me.
Now let's assume it's good - any tricks for smoking a whole hog? We'll be smoking in the Backwoods Competitor, so it will be standing up. Thinking about wrapping it in chicken wire. Not sure how long it will take.
