I have cooked close to a hundred hogs in my life and they are done all the way through and there is little to no meat that is "over cooked". That is the reason I use foil like I mentioned, we usually wrap one hog with about 4 big rolls of foil. This keeps the outside from burning while the deeper parts get done.
to each their own, hawg aint deer. i have tried time and time again..if ya like some over cooked and some not done, do it!!
btw..if yer tryin to tell me ya cook a hog whole, and a lil bit of it is rare, i feel fer the people who eat your grinds. and if yer tryin to tell me your back straps aint over cooked, especially wrapped in foil, and your ham is done, i aint gonna believe anything ya say after that.
maybe before you give advise, ya ought to cook a whole deer 1st..jmo
