China Box / Pig Roast

Lucky_Hippo · 03-04-2010, 10:33 AM

I'm trying to convince myself that I need a La Canja China box to play around with this summer. I've never cooked a whole hog/pig before but have always wanted to give it a shot. I'll be using it for family get-together's and the like. I'm stuck on size. How much meat should you count on per person with leftovers to send home and such? Should I just say screw it and go with the 100 lbs size or is that overkill? On average, most partys would have 30 people or less I'm guessing.

All tips/advice from those who've done this in the past welcome!!!!!
