The E-Z Way Roaster is not a grill. It has been designed as a slow roasting smoker. The 80,000 Btu gas burner and refillable wood trough combine the efficiency of a gas fire with the flavor of an authentic wood burning smoker. Our patented hood design traps in heat, moisture and flavor while creating a natural convection. Will hold up to a 250# Pig. Approx. cook time is 6 HR per 150 lbs. of pig at 350 degrees.
I. Planning Your Pig Roast:
Determine the number of people that you plan to serve. Allow 1 1/2 lbs. of carcass weight per
person. This will tell you the amount of pork to purchase plus the estimated cooking time. The
E-Z Way trailer roasts a pig at an approximate rate of 1 hour for every 22 to 25 pounds of
pork.
THE E-Z Way roaster will burn for about 9 hours on a single 30# LP tank. Be sure to have a
reserve handy if you are cooking a large pig (over 200 lbs.).
A Guideline for Purchasing:
75 lbs. Dressed pig =approx. 30 lbs. cooked, chopped pork = 50 guests
100 lbs. Dressed pig =approx. 40 lbs. cooked, chopped pork = 65 guests
125 lbs. Dressed pig =approx. 50 lbs. cooked, chopped pork = 85 guests
14 lbs. uncooked shoulder = 10 lbs. cooked, 6-7 hours = 20 guests
6-7 lbs. uncooked shoulder = 3 lbs. cooked, 3 1/2-4 hours = 6 guests
14 lbs. uncooked ham = 6-7 lbs., cooked 6-7 hours = 10-15 guests
Picking Your Pig:
Purchase your pig from a state-inspected establishment. Typically, a 7-day notice for a local super market, grocery store, or meat packer is necessary. Ask the butcher to remove the eyes and have the pig ready for roasting when you pick it up.
Prepping The Pig & Stuffing Information:
Prepare the pig by washing it inside and out, giving particular attention to the ears, snout, and feet. Place a block of wood between the jaws and thoroughly salt the inside of the cavity. If you wish to stuff the pig, now is the time to do it. Stuff the pig's cavity with whole Italian sausage links and whole, cleaned fryer chickens, bread stuffing, sauerkraut, or whatever you
feel like putting in there. Sew the cavity opening with butcher's string to keep the stuffing in place during the cooking process.
(Stuffing the pig will definitely increase the cooking time.)
Place the pig on the wire cooking rack (belly side down) and place the rack in the drip pan of the E-Z Way trailer.
If you choose to use smoke in cooking the pig, this is the time to load the smoker trough with wet wood chips or pellets and reinsert into the unit. The wood will only smoke during the first hour or two of the cooking cycle.
