How To Build A Hog Cooker

Summer dining: Going whole hog

When it’s time for a cookout, some folks toss burgers and dogs on the barbecue. Others go whole hog to impress their guests.

“Really, it’s just the easiest, most social thing you can start to do,” says Alex Stinson of Barrie, who has hosted an annual pig roast for 14 years — and built a tradition. “The pig allows it to be that much more of an event. Even those who don’t eat the pig want to see it.”

Every summer, Stinson invites a “smorgasbord of family and friends” to the feast at her parents’ one-acre homestead in farm country north of Cookstown. They come and go during the day, with a guesstimated 100 people milling around at prime “feeding times.” The hosts supply the pork and the potato salad. Guests bring other dishes.

“It is so easy — the pig cooks itself,” Stinson says. “There are not many parties for 100 where you don’t spend all your time in the kitchen. It’s nice not to be a slave to dinner.”

She appreciates being able to have some drinks and some laughs, play in the horseshoe tournament, sing campfire songs and create memories.

“I was 20 when they started,” She recalls. “We were all the rowdy bunch. It’s changed a lot. Now we are the parents.”

Stinson and her husband Jason Dillman rely on Shaws Catering ( www.shawscatering.com ), renowned for supplying everything but the oink for do-it-yourself pig roasts. The package includes a corn-fed pig, roaster, meat thermometer, heat gloves, serving tray, demo (from firing up the barbecue to carving) and “Pig Help Line.”

The roaster is like a big oven on wheels, so you’ll need an open truck or trailer to cart it home. The Shaws will load it.

The pigs are home-grown. The Shaws are Ontario pork producers, with Tom being the seventh generation to farm their property near Hawkestone.

The package costs $360 to $430, depending on the size of the pig. Their hogs range from 18 to 55 kilograms (40 to 120 pounds), and can feed 20 to 110 people. For “well done, fall-off-the- bone pork,” Terri-Lynn Shaw estimates a cooking time of five to eight hours.

She says do-it-yourselfers from the GTA and cottage country have arranged pig roasts for birthday, marina, block and corporate parties, weddings, family reunions, stags and tailgating.

“It’s a fun way to feed a lot of people,” Terri-Lynn says. “It’s different. It’s not your typical hot dog and hamburger barbecue.
