RE: Hog cleaning/preparation techniques?
A whole pig in the smoker is great. . .just go real slow if you want it tender and tasty. . . .as for cleaning the only things I do differewnt from whitetail is this.
1. Hose them off real well before you begin. . .removes lots of bugs and the other nasty crap they like to roll in. . . .
2. Put the whole pig or quarters into a big ice chest and keep adding ice as it melts for a couple of days. Drain the water as needed. This will help remove lots of blood and with it some pig game taste.
