Suckling pig

[Rob5909]

Hi guys. I’m interested in buying the rec tech 1250. Just double checking that it’s large enough to accommodate a pig for a smoke. Would anybody know the maximum weight or size that I could cook ?

I‘ve never cooked a pig on my recteq, but there are plenty of posts here that say 40-45 pounds dressed weight is about max for a RT-700. Search here for ‘suckling’ and there’s a lot of good info on the process.

I cooked a 50 pounder running style on the 700. I've seen people go bigger by cooking on its side or removing legs.

i believe recteq said 70 or 80lbs max in one of there videos. they also said 180 for the bfg. those numbers may be without a head?

Thank you gentlemen!

I forgot to mention that recteq has 1-2 older videos on their YouTube channel where they smoke a suckling pig.

I did a 47lb piggy in my 700, if that helps.
