The HOG MASTER 5000 was one of those projects that started out as a simple pig roaster but as we worked on it we kept getting all these good ideas (some just kidding around) that eventually stuck. Before long we had more than we had started out to do... as all fun project go I guess

HOG MASTER 5000

Designed to roast pigs up to 250 lbs.

Trailer

The Hog Master is permenently built on a medium sized trailer to be portiable using a 2" ball hitch.

Table

On the back is a contertop that folds down to provide a place to prepare the hog on the spit and after cooking to server the finished meat from.

SPIT

The spit has stips to hold the legs streight out so the meat will cook fast, U-shaped clamps to hold the backbone to the spit and prongs on each end to hold the hunches.

Winch

The winch is centrally located to service both the counter in the back and the grill in the front.

Cooking

Once in place the lid will be closed and the pig will be cooked for about 12 hours.

Inside

Carcoal is placed in the screen racks on the sides which can be removed making it easier to clean the cooker.

Inside

Charcoal

Charcoal is placed in the racks via the access doors around the cooker so the large lid does not need to be opened releasing all the heat.

Vent

When cooking the doors can be cracked to allow some venting

Drips

Greese dripping from the pig is gathered in the bucket as it drips from the drain hole in the bottom of the cooker. The cooker has a slight tilt toward the drain.

Venting

If more venting is needed a large vent can be used at the top of the cooker. This will, however, release more heat.

Grill

Once the hog has been cooked the grill can be inserted to keep the pans of pork warm. The grill can also be used to cook other meats (ie. chicken, burgers, etc.).

Motor

Motor and gear reduction provides about a .5 rpm

Lath

The cooker has a latch and hook to pervent it from opening while in transit and from little inquesitive hands.

Cabinets

There are cabinets around the trailer facing outward. This allows all work to be done from the ground level without being on the trailer. All cabinets also have latches and hooks for transit.

Electrical

In the back is a connection for electricity. Flip out the cover a plug in an extension cord.

Switches

Inside the right cabinet are switches that control the lights and spit motor, there is also an electrical outlet there.

Extensioin

The lights on the winch plug into an extension cord, this cord can be pulled out from the box and used as an extension cord.

Lights

When cooking a hog, it generally takes about 12 hours. When you plan to serve it in the afternoon that means you are cooking throughout the night. These lights come in handy as you prepare the hog and maintain the coals.

Plugs

At the bottom of the right cabinet is the plugit for the spit motor.
