    Holy shit. Never seen a lechon on a traeger. How did it come out? Skin crispy?

  4. Haven’t tried a whole pig yet. Maybe when I feel a little more confident

    Did the smoke tube help make that much more Smokey?

    Wow that looks delicious and amazing. I’m glad to see that roasting a hog like this is truly a possibility. Because I’m still looking to purchase the largest model that I buy so that I can finally complete the process of fully prepping and truly preparing myself in this manner as well. Low and slow in order to fully refine myself to bring out the best flavors from the glazes and supplies that I would be truly prepared in before beginning the process of being turned into an actual living main course meal idea πŸ’‘. I’m aware that people don’t like this sort of thought process but this is just how my thoughts work. And I’m totally down for the process to its true conclusion. I’d love to figure out a way to fully accomplish this task from the shoulder down. This way I could possibly last a bit longer while I’m actually being roasted to perfection. I’m sorry for being so different from everyone else on here but that’s not something that can or will change any time soon. I’d truly love to have the opportunity to be able to go live while I’m placed onto a large grill or even a rotisserie that’s been placed at just the right height about an active heat source. I’d love to know about how many people would actually be willing to watch as I was being roasted alive just like any other hog on a spit or grill. I’d make it so that the people watching could fully control how fast that I was to be fully cooking to perfection. As per normal I’m probably going to get hateful feedback because of my personal voice not acting like everyone else on here. The thing is That’s truly okay with me. All open conversations should be welcomed even if we don’t agree with each other on this type of topic. If you want to share your thoughts feel free to do so. In a few days from now my world will probably be in turmoil and turned upside down so at this point I’m just trying to get by the Best way that I can. But I’m truly not concerned in the slightest in regards to the process of fully prepping and preparing myself completely as an actual living main course meal idea πŸ’‘. There’re just so many different types of options to choose from in regards to the overall process of creating myself in the Best ways available that could actually handle this type of thing to its true conclusion.

    I only have a 24” and none of the local shops will order small enough pigs so I only do heads

    Thanks for responding to my message. The thing is that if at all possible I’d like to hear your full thoughts in regards to what I’m trying to accomplish. And if possible your personal insight regarding what you think would work best to completely enhance myself in such a way. Like what types of supplies would work perfectly for this type of meal plan idea πŸ’‘. I’d also love to know if you would actually be able and willing to watch me go live with this sort of thing as I was fully rotating around on a spit or simply placed directly onto a large grill until fully cooked. And if you were given the ability to fully control what was to be used for the supplies, how I was to be fully roasted and the overall speed that I was to be cooked would you be able to fully accomplish that task to its true conclusion. I’m just curious about your thoughts on this matter. I’m aware that this is darker than normal. True blessings to all always, even though I’m so different from everyone else on here I respect everyone’s thoughts on this matter.

    I had my doubts in the first photo but goddammit man that’s amazing.

    What was your running temps? Great result by the looks of it

    To be fully clear I’m not on anything at all. And I’ve never taken anything like street substances ever in my life. I just have a darker way of looking at things. Also to put things into context I’m currently 175 at this point in time. So if I’ve done things right something like this should take no longer than two days at the right temperature to finish the process of fully preparing myself as a meal. The idea is low and slow so that this can be done the right way. Maybe even do a lower level of temperature and see what happens. I’m not sure if it’s possible for me to be turned into something like pulled pork if cooked the right way.
