You scared me with "pig in the ground." I had visions of a hole in the dirt with the pig tossed in it with a bunch of coals, and then having to wash off the ashes and dirt before eating the thing.
That spit looks absolutely yummy! And I'll bet it smells good too!

Do you often pre-heat your wood?
This is THE BEST way to roast a pig. I'm not washing my clothes for a week because they smell soooooo good. lol
Usually, it'll take a good hour or so to get it even, depending on how dry the oak is. I keep a small pile going off to the side to add hot 'coals' when needed.
The ones I watch they wrap chicken wire around the pig,
The skin and meat does not drop any during the cook or flipping?
Looks great!!

There are several skewers through length the pig that also go through holes in the spit that help to keep the carcass together. Then some wire wrapped around the pig and attached to the ends of each skewer. Very little, if any at all, meat or skin fall off.

Kahlua pig....dig the pit, line with rocks, burn the wood down to coals. Pig gets split and wrapped in chicken wire. Layer banana leaves over the coals, lay the pig in, layer banana leaves, shovel hot coals on top, cover with dirt, let it cook for a real long time.
At least that's how I recall seeing it done.
How can I find you?????!!!!!!!! 
I like cooked pigs and beer on ice............
I may have to settle with my pork ribs on the grill........

A few ago was invited to a Pig in the Ground event.
The Pig was in the ground about 24 hours.
When it was ceremonial uncovered, laid on a table and unwrapped,
Good Grief Charlie Brown! It’s was still raw.
This location was over on the West side of town where the ‘soil’ is mostly sand.
The sand was damp and had apparently cooled the fire.

Either that is a small pig or those are some big yard birds. My mouth is watering.
THANK YOU! About time somebody finished the lyric.
(credit to Bocephus)You know it was.
Suckling pig. Birds are your average henway. (Anyone? Anyone? Bueler? Bueler?)

This goes back many years, but we once had a friend who did that for a backyard luau party. The pig was buried there in coals for most of a day. When he dug up the meat, most of it was still uncooked. He had to cut the pig carcass into chunks and put it into his kitchen oven to get it cooked well enough to eat. It delayed the start of the party for quite awhile. So cooking for a “real long time” means a REALLY long time.
