Redneck Whole Hog Cooking! Smoked Pig Roast Above the Ground 

I'm an old Army veteran and I so appreciate the respect Kent shows us veterans of all branchs

Pig chiropracty made me laugh out loud! Thank you.

Kent is so excited he has to dance before he even cooks 🕺

Had me hooked immediately. Pig flopping out the window 😂😂😂

Great video, thank you. I'm a manager of a meat market and this year has been the most whole Hogs I've ever sold during the holiday season

God Bless Kent & Shannon & Lord please bless & keep America in your loving hands! Amen

God bless these beautiful creatures that nourish us and keep our bodies whole. From plants to fish they give us the ability to walk the earth. Amazing video.

I remember being probably 6-7 years old and at a family pig roast. The guy carving the cooked pig asked if I wanted the weiner but told me it was his tail 😂

Mr Kent that dinner y'all had sure looked amazing Sir. God bless you Shann and all the pups. Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!🤠🇺🇲

It doesn't get less vegan than this. Love it!

"Let's have pizza!!" Guess he does not know along with pineapple, bacon goes well with pizza. Thanks for the outtakes...I know you'll had fun posing that pig.

You have to just love the preparation of this pig!!!! 😅 Thanks again for a great show God bless you cowboy Kent!!!!

That sure looks good Kent, Thanks to all there that give you a hand and especially Shannon. Stay safe and keep up the fine videos and work you all do around there. Fred.

LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND THE PUPS

I grew up in the military overseas. Whenever a unit had a pig roast I would go. They buried the pig and it cooked all day. It was amazing. 😊

Did TWO whole Hog in 2017 One pig 180 and the other 200+ lbs. Used and engine hoist moter for the spit turner fabrication (Low torc, could handle 100's of lbs.) Re-purposed a pit grill. And still the welds broke 3x on the chain drive supports. Biggest take away: having a chain tensioner sprocket. Had to use a piece of scrap lumber.. but it worked! @CowboyKentRollins MERRY CHRISTMAS! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Thank-you Kent! Please keep the videos coming. Thank-you Heath for making the wooden spatulas!

Love it.. watching from Northeastern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 God bless you 🙏 🇺🇸

As of today, January 26th, 2024... I have converted to a Kent Rollins fan. I have never felt the joy and love of southern cooking until today, and I'm glad I have. Kent, you have changed my life and brought a new beginning to it. I am no longer a simple and subtle city boy, but rather a proud rootin' (and quite tootin') cowboy. Today I will start my journey. My journey to become the greatest cowboy that ever lived. I commend you Mr. Rollins. You have saved me.

Did one last weekend with a bunch off British folk visiting a friend of mine. Had some pit beans and tater salad. Nobody could move afterwards 😅😅😅😅😅

Man its a good day when you see Kent upload 🐖

Here in Cebu Philippines they cook a hog much differently. The hog is speared through with a bamboo pole and it is a human powered rotisserie all day long to cook it over a bed of coals.

aww thanks for the memory that flooded back, my Great Aunt's 100 birthday/family reunion party. Mom and I got lucky to be invited since we flew from phx to minn and drove to border of s/d/ minn. to celebrate with them. one of her son's and grandson cooked a whole hog and wow was it delicious. thanks for the video.

As a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, I appreciate your shout-outs to us vets. Thanks and happy cooking. I think I'll run out now and catch me a young shote to cook.

It's been a long time since I've eaten a whole hog meal like this here but I do remember it and I really liked seeing your cooking it especially on the cooker the way you did Thanks for another great video Kent.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🤠🥩🐖🐖🍖🐕🦮🐕‍🦺

That looks fantastic Kent! Y'all have a great week! Cheers!

We love a good hog on the smoker! Our favorite here in Missouri Ozarks 🍖💨🐷

My father served in the navy. During World War 2. he was on a mine sweeper that went in to Guadalcanal before the invasion sweeping mines. I'm so proud of him and so happy that you recognize the veterans and the contribution they made to this great country.

That Hog is praying while lying on the table before he gets Toasted 😂

Kent is one of a kind in a world filled with sad copycats. His own unique style, flare and passion for food and cooking are entirely his own. (Using a MASSIVE wrench to hammer down on a hatchet into the pig. I mean, who does that?!😂) Plus, he always takes a moment to thank and honor our servicemembers in each of his videos. How cool is that?!!

'Poor Orville'. 🐷😪If only you didn't taste so delicious. 😋 😋

9:30 Shan... I'm lovin' that music today !

I'm an US Army vet, I always think what a great country to have so many people treat their Vets well I'll glad to be home, and thanks Cowboy Kent

Kent...who new meaning to your salute to the military since my son joined this past Summer. Thank you always for your salute to all the service men and women.

Can't believe you finally did a whole hog cook. My granddad did this, usually in the late Fall on his backyard brick pit about 2-3 feet off the ground. A way long time ago when I was kneehigh to a grasshopper in the 60s. But no injected marinade. And no flamethrower. Just a mop with lotsa butter, vinegar, who knows what else, and finished off with some homemade BBQ sauce at the very end of the cook, which lasted most of the night.

LOL! Love that part of you popped Hog's head out of the window. 😂 Your dance never get old! ❤

Good job cowboy, good delicious!👍

NOW THAT'S HOW YOU COOK A WHOLE HOG THE OLD TIME COWBOY WAY!!!! Y'ALL ARE AMAZING!!!! LOVE U GUY'S THANKS FOR ALL U DO!!! GOD BLESS BE SAFE!!!!🙏🙏

We have a saying down here in Australia for people like you Mr Rollins. "Absolute bloody legend mate!" Love your work, have a safe and happy Christmas and New year brother!

Very excited to watch this one! I love a good whole hog! I had 4 of them at my wedding reception... a bunch of other stuff too but the whole roasted suckling pigs were the highlight by my reckoning. Nothing beats it. Ok... on to the video. Edit: I remember well that, at that time (early 90's) one of my sisters was a vegetarian. Now we had beaucoup vegetarian choices too but her husband just couldn't say enough good things about that roast pig and she caved.... ate quite a bit of it and, voila, she was rolling her eyes into the back of her head it was so good! Especially the skin... yum, yum, yum! It was done in the Filipino style because, though my lovely bride was born and raised in Canada, her family hailed from the PI. I'll admit that our wedding reception was a bit of a barrio thing... out of doors with open fire pits and about 200 people and buckets of food and drink.... it was one heckavu good party! Probably way, way, way too much alchohol was consumed, too! Not to worry, though.... fast forward to today.... we have 9... count 'em 9.... beautiful and successful adult children and, so far, 3 gorgeous wee grandbabies! More to come, God willing! Beautiful memories to be sure.... and looking at this video brings them back. I've got a serious hankering for some lichon right now! 🤠🤠🤠 Another edit: I really appreciate that Mr. Rollins gives a shout out to veterans. I realize that it's primarily for my American brothers and sisters who served but I served 12 years with the Royal Canadian Navy and it was my honour to serve alongside my American cousins for a little over a year of that time on an inter-service exchange with the USMC (they are Navy, after all, though they do tend to bark a bit when we Navy types point that out).... seriously, though; there are few finer service folk than a US Marine! No finer ally could be wished for.

That's an awesome hog, Kent!

I laughed so hard I cried. That meat looked so tasty. Good work.

Man I wish I was there for that insane meal! Thanks Kent for another great video

That looks absolutely incredible! Thanks so much y'all for all that you do, your videos always brighten my day.

Cowboy Chiropractor. Massage. Then, a sauna 😂😂😂

"One crack makes you squeal" Two cracks and you'll never feel anything ever again

Gotta be a lot of flavor in that roasted pig. Great job of cooking.

I love the out takes.... they are hilarious.... :)

🤠 Thank you Ken, Roy Roger's was always my Hero, always asked Mom for my six shooters every Christmas! My Beagles name years ago was Scooter, sure do miss him! Love your videos!

I admire anyone who can do this successfully like Kent. Doing it this way is an awful lot of work and takes a lot of fuel. Getting that temperature just right is tricky and even Kent had to back the heat off. That injecting is what saved Porky from being too dry. Good job.

TY Keith for my Mesquite spatula! 🙂

I do have one of them spatulers, and I’d like to thank that gentleman for making it. Thank you!

Oh that looks so yummy and thank y'all for sharing this video and God Bless..

Kent and Shan & The big Guy Now that’s what I’m talking about outstanding VIDEO. Nadine & Rick can’t wait to see you both at WFW event this coming yr. God bless you both for everything you Do

Oh, that all looked delicious!

PETA's gonna love this one 🤣

LOL cowboy Kent😂 Great video, lots of top notch information and the reference to Green Acres is classic ..Great job sir. Press on.

Lots of fun, Kent and Shannon! Reminds me of our high school Senior's pig roast on the Molini farm back in 1976 thereabouts. Great time was had by all.

Poor Major jumped when the cowboy chiropractor cracked that hip!

Always love when this man uploads

Oh man, my mouth was watering throughout that whole episode!

im most impressed by that awesome rigging axe framed with one of them for years!!!!

"About that much" is perfect every time.

I absolutely love a good hog roast! This looks great!

As a combat veteran, the ending of the video hit me right in the heart. Thanks for all the years of teaching me to cook!

Good Afternoon There My Good Big Bro Kent Rollins Sir The Cooking Cowboy

I am an Army Veteran and I would love to thank you for your service! God Bless you brother! I really enjoy your channel!

This reminds me of the OK State Fair, when I was a kid. We would see a hog, roasting, with a red apple in it’s mouth. It’s probably been 30+ years since I’ve seen it.

Mr Rollins, as a Veteran, retired Police Officer, and now a current Volunteer Fire Fighter, I wanted to sincerely thank you for always taking the time to tip your hat and thank us. It is deeply appreciated. Now, a helpful tip that I discovered a couple of years ago while fixing things on our Ranch. Instead of using the time tested bailing wire to tighten up your rack, try using the Metal Cable Ties that I get at Harbor Freight. With the tensioner that is also sold there it would work great and save you a lot of time. I use the heck out of them for a verity of things and they work great. God Bless you, Shannon and all of the pups and have a wonderful Christmas.

That's what you call fine dining. The roast pig looks great. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Kent and Shannon! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

LOL!!! Oh Man!! You got me Kent! That chiropractor scene had me in stitches!!!!!

professional trained butcher here; Kent you did a nice job with the chiropractic on the piglet and splitting the rib without breaking the spine was beautiful.

Man, his humor is so macabre at times.

The chiropractor part had me laughing loud. I had no ides you guys in the states ate this. Sadly in Scotland its way too expensive to buy a whole hog. My dad's from Portugal, I have good memories of barbecues in maderia eating leitao assado (roast pig). Those were always special days. The whole family eating together outside in the forests

GREAT VIDEO! We used to do a whole hog roast back when I was a kid. There was a local bakery that would do the brining and cooking for us - we just had to drop off the pig. Man that was such good food from a more simple and wonderful time in my life! Thanks for the memories Kent!

Never thought I'd see a guy use a wrench as a cooking utensil.

Loved the chiropractic aspect of the pig cooking. This cook was about as necky as it gets. 👍

That was a very relaxed and cooperative pig. Orville even seemed to be enjoying himself, though I'm not sure he fully realized what was happening! Well done Kent and crew!

Glad to see you doing this............ At the end of the 1970's I was a Brit RAF pilot on exchange with the USN at a remote base in the Mojave Desert. I was going to be there for one 4 July event, and as the only Brit I knew of within about 150 miles, I wondered how I could survive the event. So I did a hog roast (above ground) with several bottles of duty free booze. I think it was well received once I had overcome mention of 1776 and RedCoats and several other less polite comments!! The biggest problem I had was finding a hog that was still intact. All of the local meat outlets could offer me many different cuts, but all separate. Eventually I found a proper butcher who thought he could find one intact and before it had been marched through a circular saw and wrapped in plastic. He did, and it all seemed to go well. I survived to return to the UK after 3 years of great fun with the USN in the desert, and the fact that I am still alive today prompts me to suggest that the USN folk decided not to scalp me and put me out to dry!! The duty-free booze might have helped!! But an above ground hog roast - done properly - is an exceptional way to have a great party and enjoy some good food. Kent - I really enjoy watching your videos - please keep them coming!!

Well, bless your hearts, Kent and Shannon. That was some good roasting y'all did there. Have a Merry Christmas and may God bless you real good good. 🙏❤️😊

Chicharrons from the skin Kent! We used to do ours in a box but now have a giain GM pellet grill. Last year came out the best!

Perfect roast beest🎅 Merry Christmas kent and fans

Yeeeeaaahhh! Go Uncle Rollins and Papa Heefy 🤘🏾🤠

Imagine seeing a suckling pig doing a dance inside the cab of a truck love the video you put a smile on everyone face

God Bless you and your family Kent. We love everything you do.

Just a thought would be to use concrete rebar ties to tie up the steel . They come in different lengths and are easy to wind up as you can use a wire tie winder .And with the round eyes there isn't any sharp ends .

Have to love Wednesdays! A new CKR video!

kent i love getting that long distance hug, one heck of a guy.

Chiropractor Cowboy! 🤣🤣🤣 Kent is unique. Cheers from Portugal!

Meherrin Ruritan Club never injected barbecue sauce in the meat before it was done and that was 12 hours later … that way you could tell when it was actually done rather than have “hot spots” at different points from the injections … without injecting the meat you get “ fall off the bone” goodness before putting the vinegar based barbecue sauce ( like Sauers original from Richmond, Virginia ) … we blended charred ends with the picnic shoulder parts too … during the Virginia Pork Festival in Emporia, VA , everyone loved our pork barbecue even the Governor flew in on a helicopter to enjoy our barbecue !!!

This is so great! I laughed so hard at the "Cowboy Chiropractic" segment.

Its rare to see people caring about us service members currently active duty army. Love your content and the service member gals and boys love you❤️

That made me laugh out loud the hog chiropractor...ahah funny 🤣

Hey Kent. Just found your channel, love it. I have many cookers and grills, but one of the things I have never done is cook a whole hog. Video is inspiring, just need to get my boss (wife) to allow me a place on the yard to create that pit. Man did that hog look good. Most important, watched many of your vids. Thanks so much for recognizing our veterans! They are the true hero’s. I am not a vet, but my dad was 26 years in the army with two tours in Vietnam. Military folks are a special breed, and those who served should be celebrated. Same as our first responders. Keep up your great videos. Already looking at your breakfast hole sandwich as a dish for one of our tailgate dishes next year. Yeah the season just ended, but we start planning early. Love your vids!

Not bad for an Oklahoma boy looked nice. In Tennessee is where whole hogs is what we call barbeque.

Looks absolutely perfect.

@CowboyKentRollins I too was thinking that.. sho nuff. 10:26 14:04 Good work!

Love you kent, couldnt afford to hire ya to the homestead, but youve got a special place here in our hearts.

Been a while since we went to a small town rodeo where they served whole roast hog. Pre COVID, when we were still allowed to be a community. Very tasty. Lots of work, though. Thanks for showing the process.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in cooking
