Pig roaster concept renderingBuilt to make a whole pig easy.
Every part of this cooker was designed around the day of the party: easy fire control, a clean finish, and a pig that comes off whole.
Whole pig, whole party
Cooks a whole pig up to about 100 pounds dressed. Add the second rack and it turns out pork shoulders, chickens and ribs for a crowd.
Fire you can manage
Charcoal goes in through doors in the front, so the lid stays closed and the heat stays steady. Two stacks and two thermometers let you run each end of the pig the way it needs.
Off the fire in one piece
The pig cooks in a stainless basket. Two people flip it for crisp skin, then carry it straight to the carving table.
Clean, simple finish
A drip pan carries the grease out to a bucket, away from the fire. A stainless shelf up front holds your tools and gives you a place to work.
Delivered and picked up
We tow it in, park it where you want it, and come back for it after. You never hitch, tow or haul anything.

How big a pig can it cook?
The cooker takes a whole pig up to about 100 pounds dressed, which is the right size for most backyard parties. Tell us your guest count and we will help you pick the pig.
