On the grill

Unlike deer and moose, wild boar carries a real trichinella risk and Swedish guidance is unambiguous: cook it through, to at least 75 °C if it has not been inspected. Trichinella dies around 60–65 °C in an oven, but grilling needs above 70 °C.

Legally sold boar is tested; home-shot is your own responsibility. It is stronger and leaner than farmed pork — juniper, and a long slow indirect cook, suit it.
