Fat Wild Sow need advice
« Reply #-1 on: December 22, 2016, 01:11:43 PM »
  I posed this question to a friend  but decided to post it here as well.  It's been 13 seconds since I sent the email and no answer... Need that instant gratification these days you know...

 Anyway, Shot a wild sow last week. She was dressed and hung in the walk in cooler since.  She has more fat than any wild hog I have ever seen. I think its because she was pregnant.   
 I want to rotisserie a ham tonight and am wondering if I should cut the fat layer down to about a half inch.  I think it will cook better and maybe not turn into a raging inferno
in my weber kettle. 
 Any thoughts are appreciated. I need to get it on the grill in the next few hours.

We fried a piece last night to check the flavor of the fat and it doesnt taste like a wild hog either.

Terry-

Your idea sounds good...But I would also place a aluminum pan below it to catch the dripping fats/juices so that they do not cause you issues with flare up - or cause your charcoal to have dead spots.

Thanks, I normally use a drip pan so that should work. The plan is to cook it as slow as possible  to about 160. Does that seem about right?

160/165 should be good.

Not sure I would admit to that.  You don't seem like the millennial type, to me.

If you can put it on a rotisserie over coals - maybe a Weber rotisserie, if you have one.

I'll bet it will turn out.

just sayin'...
