INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Whole hog (dressed, about 40-60 lbs)

  • 1 cup Yellow mustard

  • 3 cups Pork rub

  • Apple cider vinegar (for mopping)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F - 250°F using Hickory or Apple wood.

  3. Apply the mustard over the entire skin and meat surfaces, then coat heavily with the dry rub.

  4. Place the hog in the smoker. Every 60-90 minutes, spray or mop the meat with apple cider vinegar to keep the exterior from drying out.
