Just let me know when you take it and no chill is required. Just smoke and munch. You’re making me hungry

We don't chill ours but quarter them and put them on ice for about 4 days. It helps drain the blood out of the meat and it tastes excellent. Just drain the water off and add more ice as you go. That way even in the middle of summer we don't have to worry about the meat spoiling from the heat. We always have ours cut up within an hour of being shot.

Well, you keep it on ice so it won't spoil, but chilling for 48-72 hrs,makes it easier to butcher if you are going to get all the pork cut's.
