We are doing a su30# suckling pig this weekend and was wondering how long it will take and what temp to cook at. I was thinking 250 degrees for 10 hours.

I did a 35# one last year for a friend's B-Day, and it only took about 8 hours.

What temp did you do it at? Do you cook them indirect and do you butterfly them?

I did a 43 pound pig a couple of months ago, racer style 250 degrees and was done in 6 hrs. This was on an offset smoker, I was really surprised that it got done that soon but it turned out great!

wraydp, I cooked a wild pig on Labor Day that took 8hrs. cooking at 225� to 250�. It did not have the skin on, I butterflied it, layed foil under it to protect the meat on the grate side. I cooked it for three hrs. open then kinda wrapped it up for 5hrs more.
Here is the link to it.
