SC - More Pig Questions

[kat]

Hi all; kat here, with some more questions about that pig we're spit-roasting this coming November.  I appreciate any and all input from our on-list pig roasting experts!  


Query:  We are expecting a full-grown wild boar, whose weight we will not know till it's time to start cooking.  We are expecting to have to cook it for approx. 24 hours, give or take.  How much charcoal should I buy?  :-)

Query:  Will a gallon of marinade be enough, or should we make two?  We are planning to "baste" the critter during cooking with spray bottles (yes we are buying new, food-grade bottles).

Query:  My husband plans to remove the head and bake it separately, so it does not overcook or fall apart over the fire.  What is the standard baking time per pound for pig's head? 

Thanks in advance,

	- kat
