How to Cook a Whole Pig in an Offset Smoker 

You have one of the best videos for cooking whole hog. Every one else has quick clips. Thanks for this

There's tons of quick 10-minute videos for people who only want to see but not really do.... then there's this video for true adventurer pork cookers who really want to make the magic happen!!!

Your 'less-than-a-minute introduction alone was all I needed to subscribe. Now I'm ready for the next hour plus!

This is great Thank you! The long form video style for bbq is very much appreciated

I’m really impressed how good it hold temp with little wood and charcoal

Long video but tons of tips on using the Grand Champ XD. The results on that hog looked amazing. Thanks Tony for putting in the time for this one. I wouldn't have dared to try this on the Grand Champ, but now that I've seen it done it will be on my list of cooks for the summer. Bravo!

That dog is freaking BEAUTIFUL!!!

Incredible goodness there. Great job on that whole hog. A pig pickin' party!

I did my first eight pound roast and it went so well. The smoke ring was really defined and the rub and injections made the meat so good. Cooked for an hour a pound. I cant imagine doing a whole pig !

That deflector inside the barrel is the key componant to spread the heat all around. I have a Dyna-Glo Signature Series (which I wish I'd never bought), and I have setup fire bricks inside to keep heat but also the deflect direct fire like your plate is doing. This channel is very underated for the quality of information you are giving us! Thx! Subscribed and +1

not the first one to say this but that backyard is epic

Thank you for the educational session - learned a lot ! Ted

Tony... This is IT man! Thank you for this... SO MUCH!!!!

I should have waited until Saturday morning to watch this video, it was so entertaining, I loved it, great job Tony Toni Tone !

Great video! What I like is that you're doing this in a COS and not one of those $3k - $5k offset smokers. I don't have the smoker that you have but I have an OKJ Bronco and Highland offset that I absolutely love. Hats off to you for making this video for the rest of us!

This video really took off!!! So many views...channels about to blow up. Awesome video.

The chuckle at 12:58 😂😂😂 all you had to say was ⏸️ my boy

Really enjoyed this video especially the time spent pulling the meat. Learned a lot thanks !!

Oh, wow! I wound up watching this all the way through. I really shouldn't have watched it while hungry, though. Good cook! It's amazing how little wood you really need for these offset smokers. I had mine for 4-5 years before I finally figured out how to use it by watching your older videos. Now, every cook is virtually problem free. I also oil the outside of my smoker. I painted the outside of the firebox with header paint, but it burned off anyway. Started oiling it with olive oil just to keep the rust away, but noticed what a nice seasoning the metal took....

ALWAYS make sure that it’s ready to accept your meat. ALWAYS! 😂 But seriously, Awesome video fam. It’s super helpful to see you encounter & overcome the little obstacles that always seem to pop up.

This man has a special way to make you hungry, beautiful job!

Ready to accept ya meat & with that chuckle 🤣 great video sir! Watching it completely right now

12:44 great advice in many aspects of life. 12:57 I also chuckled as well

I did a suckling pig for the first time last year and was really happy with the result. I hope to do it again someday in the future. Thanks for sharing your process with us!

That looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!! That was Impressive and Ambitious!! Looks Amazing, I am sure that tasted so GOOD!! Waiting for my Grand Camp to be delivered and am very excited after watching so many incredible cooks on RU-vid! You look like you have yours dialed in perfectly!! Great Job!!

Excellent instructional video! This is one of the best posts that I have seen on a step-by-step process on how to grill a whole suckling pig. Thank you👍🏾

Most important lesson I got from this video “DON’T PUT YOUR MEAT IN TOO SOON” 😂😅

Awesome Brother! That came out very well. Just to add something for your the next pig you do is that once you reach your desired color maybe consider tenting the pig with aluminum foil to protect the color, not that I have done this myself but I do remember seeing someone do that on another channel, but this is backyard Q-ing and it came out amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure and I do plan to attempt a whole pig myself at some point.

Very nice video. Thank u. I’m gonna try one

Everything looked pretty darn good! Just a recommendation for you, get yourself a MEATER plus wireless thermometer’s. Those thermometers can detect the internal temp of the meat and it can detect the ambient temp of the cooking chamber with just one probe. I use those on all my pig cooks. Great job!

Costco Business supply stores,carry these as well, although not everyone will have one of those nearby. I haven’t done one yet, but want to one day. Thanks for the video.

Great setup Tony. Thanks for sharing

I have the exact same smoker...Damn good smoker. I've cooked plenty of meat on her and she just keeps wantin more💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Good morning senor! Awesome cook! Love the content! Quick question for you boss when ordering online,and it says butterfly to lay down correctly is that mean how you have it cut on the underside like yours??

HOLY COW!!! I just found you and this video!! Thank you so much for sharing this WONDERFUL TUTORIAL!! I learned so much from it. And, of course this meat looks delicious. I look forward to seeing more of your cooking/smoking of food 💕🙏🙏

what a great day on the pit, good job all around, hitting the sub button for sure!

Great job gives me inspiration..... Watching your process in this video was very informative.... Thanks for the content

Excited to watch this vid!!! Thanks!

That was an amazing job You did My friend that pig was fall off the bone I watched the entire video non-stop You gave some great tips Great Narrative and your cook was outstanding

Thanks for posting! One of the best vids I’ve seen for whole hog.

Loved it. Answered alot of questions I had.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’ve subscribed.

Thanks for the GREAT info, Tony!!!! Great Job!!! I need to purchase an offset smoker. I your method of smoking!!! Thanks again...

Cool video, I was really interested in seeing your temperature control methods but I don't think any of your methods ever got the temperature to come anywhere near close to each other like you expected. I was hoping to see the temperature level out at least after the first 3 hours. However, the pig and end results looks and I'm sure tasted amazing. Great job. I'm a big a fan of the actual science that it takes to cook with wood and offset smokers. I try to learn any new tips to control smoke and temperature whenever I can. Thanks for the video.

I just cooked my first 20.6 lb shoulder on Char-Griller off set smoker. Every body said it was awesome. Already got another 23.6 lb to cook

This was like a masterclass really good steps .. Im ready to slow smoke a whole pig now just need a smoker and backyard and whole pig

that looks like an epic cook. what lighter is that?

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Wow wow,,so amazing my first time watching video like this,,cooking a whole pig in a smoker😍😍😍we don't have like this in the Philippines,,we cook roasted pig in open charcoal fire,,wt an iron stuck inside so it can be turn on rotate,,,we put spices inside the body,like lemongrass,spring onion, salt and soy sauce, whole pepper,etc,,and then sew the belly to close it,,,roast it in between the charcoal fire,,,and wipe the body interval wt garlic oil, for 4-5 hrs,, according to the size,, and the skin is si crispy😋😋😋 Soo delicious,,if you can only taste, Filipino roasted pig,the meat inside is so tender juicy😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍,

Just Let it accept your meat! 😅😅😂😂😂 Don't slide your meat in too early.

Got me sold on one

*TonyTone BBQ* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless. (( New Sub ))

My mouth is watering.

Lovely education on pig cooking don't get much better than this.😊

Skin looks pretty crispy😂

12:40 to 12:57 sounds like a sex innuendo 😂😂😂

This is literally a two day event! But it tastes amazing when done properly.

This was a good education if for nothing else proper offset smoker and fire management! Good prep is key. That pig looked great!

Сабакен весь в слюнях😁

Watched the whole video, bought the smoker!

I am very happy for you! Showing support for your channel, I have one too! Congrats, and God Bless!

I am sooo hungry after watching this!

Awesome video, well worth watching

What a greaat Video. I watched it in entirely. I dont eat pig but Damn! That things look Juicy.

One last question. I just got my Judge and put it together. There are two square holes in the bottom front, of the pit. What are they for??

I’m literally in tears 😂😂😂😂 good cook tho

MOSTLY UNDERSTANDING MASTERCHEFF...NR1...🎉

I see your fire got away from you. I thought you were going to use the Weber to keep a small fire going on the side so you can add coals to the smoker when needed. Came out excellent looks super tender 😎

I got the same smoker based on the reviews on this channel so Char Griller should definitely sponsor him.

That dog is so cute....😂😂

For the grand champ u able to go any bigger on the pig and still fit? Costco has a 50lb whole pig so was curious if you tried bigger.

Where did you get that deflector.

DAMMMMM HELL YEAH I LOVE IT PERFECTION JOB...❤❤❤❤

love this video where did u get the flame lighter 4 lighting the small grill and whats it called

doggo is like...can I just eat it raw? lol
