Hello /ck/
holidays are coming and I'm thinking about making some grilled animals...
do you have any experience or tips related to cooking a whole pig in a weber-type grill?
normally I'd use a brick and mortar type of grill, but I'll probably be cooking in a friends house and he only has one of those round weber grills (coal, not propane)
since I've never used one of those and I'll be cooking for several friends and acquaitances I don't want to screw it up
I'm also considering a small goat, but the main issue here is how to proceed with this weber thing
tl;dr: how would you cook a small suckling/goat in a weber coal grill?
That looks fucking hilarious. I grilled a whole goat leg with the hoof on for a halloween party one time. It was kind of a joke but it all got eaten shredded on sandwiches.
bumping with a grill for reference

Too small for a whole animal
Maybe for 1-2 lamb shanks
The big weber grill has a zone without coal in the middle, with a water bassin to catch the dropping fat, so the heat is indirect
About 2 hours cooking time
It would probably be better to butcher it into manageable chunks.

you can do lots of smaller animals, rabbit, many birds, but i wouldn't recommend trying to cook anything larger than a pork shoulder on a weber kettle.

I know, I'm probably better off doing a couple of roasted chickens or something like that
fuck those weber things

This kind of grill will dry it the fuck out.
Also you can't fit a real pig in it.
A better way would be to roast the entire animal on a rotating grill.

they aren't all bad. just not the best for smoking. if the one you'd be using is like the one pictured, i'd be willing to bed you could do ribs, shoulder, whole turkey, whole chickens and similar.
