Rent a hog cooker?

General Off Topic

Hi -

Anyone here have a hog cooker they could rent me for the weekend of 3/21-3/23? Pref on a trailer, but I would also consider one I could move in a 6ft truck bed.

Will pay cash monies and bring leftovers :smiley:

If you have access to the Air Force Base, they have wood or propane cookers that can handle a hog and are rented by the day.

Unfortunately I do not have a military ID, but that certainly is a start! Maybe I can get Ohio Nuke down here to rent it for me =D thanks MRR

Anyone else have a lead on one?

Frank Marvin @ Marvins Meats in Hollywood used to rent cookers. Iā€™m not sure if he still does.

If you canā€™t line something up, PM me and i should be able to find you a private ā€œloanerā€ closer to the weekend you need. I assume you are looking for something around Charleston?

Iā€™ve got one you can use Matt. You donā€™t need to rent it, happy to let you use itā€¦

Yep, it will be in townā€¦ having a long weekend get together for the NCAA tournament. I will reach out to Frank and see about lining that one up first. I bet he would have a pig to sell me too!

Charlie you got one of everything! I donā€™t want to drag it all over creation but if I canā€™t find one in town I will come see you about yours-

Thanks everybody-

You didnā€™t consult your neighbors on this. Will it meet the HIGH STANDARDS required of our cul-de-sac?:smiley:

They still rent cookers and sell hogs. By far the cheapest rental in town as I went through the research not too long ago.

Not to hijack your thread but we did a pig for Dadā€™s 80th birthday and a friend brought this one over. Portableā€¦ I think it was 35 concrete blocks, a grate, the wood frame for the grate, a 4x8 sheet of plywood with a thermometer hole in the center and a couple of pieces of plywood to block off the coal slots on each end. Brought a 55 gallon drum with a 1/4 section about 12" high cut out of one side and a rebar grate to hold the wood up and let the coals fall to the bottom. Not a bad setup.

Man was it goodā€¦

Thatā€™s the proper way to do it! Havenā€™t cooked a hog over coals in 12 years. Just too easy to put one on a grill.

Thanks for posting the pics. Never seen it done with a wood frame before though. That just goes to show that it had to be done low and slow.

Digging this post back up -

We have a pig and Mr. Marvin said he would rent us a cooker for $55 or so per day unless someone else can loan me one in town. Thanks for the heads up everybody- will have piggy pictures after the weekend.

Ever try cutting a turkey down the breast and laying it on top of the pig while it cooks the last 4 hours? Some fine eating thereā€¦
