Question
I am going to be roasting a 150lb pig on a spit.  How long should the pig cook and what is the best way to season the pig?

Answer
Hi Psi,
The time varies between 8 to 10 hours. You should start checking around 8 hours and foil off the parts that are getting done faster. As for seasoning allot depends on your taste. Some inject seasoning into the hog and others  just dry rub it and use a wet mop twords the end to get  the skin crispy. I like to just have a table with a bunch of different sauces for people to season their own way when the pig is sliced up. If you have a particular taste you are aiming for let me know and I will get you a recipe otherwise use a family one. Enjoy and happy roasting!
