Having done many spit cooks, and covered hole in the ground cooks, I made a cinder block cooker with a cantilevered counterweight cover. Here's the first pig.

Welcome to The Pit jherbertjr52! Glad to have you here. I was just telling another new member about how I've never been involved with roasting a whole pig, especially in a ground pit. A buddy of mine keeps teasing me saying we're going to do it soon though. My shovel is waiting.

jherbertjr52 Welcome to fun in the Pit! I, too, would love to see the photo. It sounds like what the old timers would call real pit BBQ. Tell us about your cooking method.
