If using pre-treated charcoal, follow all manufacturer's warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with
13 - 15 lbs. (5.9 kg. - 6.8 kg.) of charcoal. This should be
enough charcoal for the first hour of cooking.
Note:
10. Stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until
covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When
11. Once the charcoal is lit and spread evenly over the charcoal
grate, the cooking time starts now. After one hour, add
8 - 9 lbs. (3.6 kg. - 4.1 kg.) of charcoal. Keep the lid closed,
peeking into the roaster will allow heat to escape and
increase cooking time. Monitor the temperature gauge.
The Pig Roaster temperature should remain between
300 - 350 ºF (150 - 175 ºC).
12. After additional one hour, add 8 - 9 lbs. (3.6 kg. - 4.1 kg.)
of charcoal. Keep the lid closed, peeking into the roaster will
allow heat to escape and increase the cooking time.
13. After additional half hour, add 10 - 11 lbs. (4.5 kg. - 5.0 kg.)
of charcoal. Keep the lid closed, peeking into the roaster will
allow heat to escape and increase cooking time.
14. Spread several layers of aluminum foil on the surface
beneath the handle of the pig roaster. Foil should completely
cover the area under the charcoal grate (see diagram).
This will catch any falling ash from the cooking grate so that
the ash can be properly disposed of and will also prevent
discoloration to your patio, etc. After the 3 hours are up, sift
the ashes into ash pan by lifting and shaking the charcoal
grate. Place the charcoal grate with hot coals on the Pig
Roaster handle over the foil.
15. Properly dispose of ashes in ash pan. Carefully place ash in
non-combustible metal container and saturate with water
(including the ground around metal container) to completely
extinguish hot coals. Do not replace ash pan.
16. With the help of a second person, flip the pig/cooking grates
over so that the skin side is up. This is easily done by
grabbing the top cooking grate handle on one end, lift and
slide as you pull upward. Have the second person grab the
bottom handle on the opposite side of the cooking grate. Flip
and lay pig/cooking grates back down into Pig Roaster cart.
Foil
The pig and grates will be hot so be sure to wear oven mitts.
17. Score the skin using a knife to help remove the fat from
the skin.
18. Cover the roaster cart again with the ash pan and charcoal
grate, do not add any more charcoal. After 30 minutes, check
periodically until the skin is crispy to your liking.
