Danner's 1st PIG ROAST!!

So my Dad turned 50 this February, and I just couldn't decide how to celebrate.. well farmer Dan, you get a pig roast!!
I researched everything I needed to know, and started planning.
I think it turned out very well for the first Fleming family pig roast, and I cant wait to have more fun cooking videos for people to see!!
A special thanks to Arturo Comegna for the donation of the pig, and to Lemayniac Productions for the video, also thanks to everyone else that joined in the family fun!!

Hey! thank you :)

Yes, I let the pig rest for about a 1/2 and hour, but it was still releasing liquids as I was carving. I would maybe rest for 40, but people were starving and ready to try it!

As for the crackling, I read a few places that pouring cold water over the skin will remove any excess fats sitting on the skin and will help to make the crackling nice and crisp. I personally don't think the coals were hot enough to keep the heat after that, seeing as I was cooking outside in Feb! haha

Hi,congrats on the roast,it looks great.Got a couple of questions for you...did you let it rest for a bit?Also,with the addition of the liquid towards the end,did that hinder the crackling process at all?For me it's all about the crackling,mmmmmmmm. :)
