Well here is pig #3 and what could go wrong did go wrong on this pig. I put him on the smoker at 1 am andstarted the fire, watched the fire until 3 am and took a little nap. Darned if the fire didn't get out of control during the 3 hour nap and just almost burn his butt. The real result did not show itself until many hours later when his but was overdone and the front half still needed some more cooking time. Ya live and learn. The second thing we did wrong was in the prep. We stuffed him with 3 chickens and 3 pineapples. but the problem was we sewed him up TOO WELL. The sewing job would not let any of the pigs rendered fat escape the cavity. Things got a little greasy. We eventually noticed this and opened him up for the last couple of hours of cooking, but I think it was a "too little too late"
When we opened him up later to eat, the top of him was not greasy, and he tasted good. But still not the best effort.
Good thing is that the leftover meat went into the pot and will make some great tasting Chile Verde
Will try again
