another good idea (I've done 3-4 pig roasts) is to get a gallon of teriyaki sauce and a big horse hyperdermic needle to shoot up 1/2 the pig with it the night before so it marinades. Also, put about a dozen sweet onions in the body cavity so they slow roast too.

I build a motorized spit turner, with motorcycle sprockets and about 12 foot of chain going to a gear driven motor, pig turns at about 4 rpm. works great.
