Options for the PR42 Pig Roaster

Charcoal Pullout
Optional charcoal pullout permits adding charcoal without opening the pig roaster lid.
2nd Tier Grate
The optional removable second tier grate doubles the cooking surface for foods such as ribs.
Door in Lid
Two doors in your pig roaster lid let you check on the meat without losing a lot of heat.

Features of the PR42 Pig Roaster

  • Stainless Steel Grate
  • Thermometer
  • Grease Drip Pan
  • 13" Tires
  • Charcoal Vent
  • Painted with 1,200 degree F heat resistant paint.
Stainless Steel Thermometer
All our pig roasters come equipped with a stainless steel thermometer installed in the lid to monitor the pig roaster temperature.
Drip Pan
A 13 gauge drip pan carries undesirable fats to a drip tube that drains to the outside of the pig roaster. The pan prevents charring from the coals and allows a pig to be cooked without needing to be turned.
