Hog roasting is one of the oldest and most celebrated cooking traditions, bringing people together over the delicious aroma of slow-cooked pork for centuries. From ancient fire pits to cutting-edge roasting machines, the art of roasting a pig has come a long way.
At Hog Of The North, we’ve been at the forefront of this evolution, designing state-of-the-art equipment that has transformed the way people cook and enjoy a perfectly roasted hog.
The Traditional Fire Pit: Where It All Began
Back in the day, hog roasting was a labour-intensive process. A large pit was dug into the ground, filled with wood or charcoal, and then carefully tended for hours – sometimes even days – to ensure an even cook. The pig was often rotated manually on a spit, demanding constant attention from the pitmasters. While this method certainly delivered delicious results, it was time-consuming, unpredictable, and required serious skill to master.
The Rise of Mechanical Rotisseries
As technology advanced, so did the art of hog roasting. The introduction of mechanical rotisseries in the 20th century made the process more efficient. These rotating spits allowed for a more even cook and required less manual labour. Gas-powered models also emerged, offering a more controlled cooking environment without the guesswork of managing an open fire. This shift made hog roasting more accessible to businesses and backyard chefs alike.
