How to cook a piglet??

[SwineAssassiN]

Shot me a 20lber tonight and really want to cook it the best way possible. I read a post about injecting them, rubbing them, and frying them like a turkey. Anyone have any experience with them? I don't have a smoker. Just a little old smokey I could cook quarters on. Any tips appreciated.

Butterfly it and marinate it in whatever you want and grill it. That's some good eatin.

Whoops....I read too fast. If you don't have a grill I suppose it would be pretty hard to do that. Or if you wanna improvise you can put some mesquite in a 55 gallon barrel,light it on fire and throw a metal grate over the top of the barrel. Then you do have a grill.

I realize that's a really white trash way to cook but.....hey sometimes people don't have a grill. Just sayin.

Quarter it up, brine it, than dry rub it and smoke it

Always wanted to shoot a piglet and deep fry it.

Will say I smoked one about that size whole and finished it in a tin pan with onions and hard apple cider covered with foil. was incredible.

I put the whole thing in a roasting pan with potatoes, carrots and onions.

In for options.

We got two like that earlier this year and I split them right down the middle on the spine. Halves looked fantastic but after grilling ended up kinda dry and meaty. Felt like user error on my part so really would like another crack at it.

Great reason to buy a smoker

If you have a spot dig a hole. You tube is your friend.

I did one like that and it came out delicious! My buddy is the one that smoked it because I do not have a smoker. It was vacuumed sealed and sat in the freezer for almost two years, but it came out tender.

Since you don't have a smoker (a fact that is lost of some of these posts). Fry that sucker up and let us know how it is.

I use Tony Chachere's injectable marinade. There's a jalapeño butter and a herb one that I mix together and inject all the pig will hold. Then put a pork rub on the outside.
