Well I cooked my first whole pig back on July 3rd.. it was 4 days after moving into my new home so I have not been on the site or had a chance to post any pics of it. It came out pretty good, of course I could make some changes and I will do that for next time. I had a great time and everyone seemed to enjoy the food. I also did a brisket and 4 chickens.. had a good number of people over for the party.
I think the number one thing I would do different is put my rub on it the night before,(I didn't want to freak out the kids seeing the pig) and keep the heat a little higher for the entire cook.
I used a spit I rented from a local party rental company, it was older, but worked great. The pig was about 70 pounds seemed like that was plenty..
I will post pics as soon as I can get to it :)
If you have not done one and are interested in doing it, I say go for it.. It was a blast :)

ED, Weve been cooking whole hogs for about 20 years and one thing that i started doing is to rub the piggy down with plain salt the night before then rinsing it off the morning of the cook and adding my dry rub- the salt not only helps with flavor but also tightens up the skin to a certain degree !

Glad everything went well. There is nothing like a good old fashioned pig roast.
The best way to eat pork!!!!!
