Meadow Creek PR42 Pig Roaster

The PR72 is designed to handle a whole pig up to 325 pounds live weight. For optimal airflow and even cooking, ensure the pig fits comfortably on the grate without touching the sides of the roaster.

Absolutely. While it is built for whole hogs, it is highly versatile. With the optional second-tier grate, you can cook up to 44 pork butts or 60 whole chickens at once, making it a great choice for large-scale catering or events.

Temperature management is handled through a combination of top and bottom dampers and a removable charcoal vent. By adjusting these vents, you can precisely control airflow to maintain your desired cooking temperature throughout the process.

Not at all. The cooking grate is constructed from food-grade T304 stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and designed for easy cleanup. You can scrub it down after the roaster has cooled to keep it in top condition.

This unit is designed to run on either charcoal or wood. Using charcoal provides consistent, predictable heat, while adding wood chunks or logs can help you achieve that authentic, smoky flavor profile.

The roaster weighs 400 pounds and sits on 13-inch tires. While it is a substantial piece of equipment, the wheels make it manageable to move across flat surfaces like concrete or packed gravel.
