Cooking an entire pig requires a tremendous measure of marinade to keep the pig soggy, delicate and tasty. At the point when endeavoring to flame broil an entire pig, have your butcher evacuate the legs and head and part the pig down the middle or into quarters, making it more reasonable. A 100-lb. pig, before butchering, yields more or less 40 lbs. of meat once you finish the flame broiling procedure. Utilize your marinade before you put the pig on the barbecue, while you are barbecuing your pig and as a plunging sauce when serving.

Now, you can try to marinade you own whole pig and cook it. But you should strongly follow the steps in marinating in order for the pig not to be wasted.
