Looks incredibly labor intensive, but I bet it was worth it! We're looking to attend some BBQs this summer that friends are holding and there has been the threat of whole pig -- something I don't think we can pass up. Should be quite awesome.

Huge shindigs like that make me really want a back yard.

It took two days, one day of inital prep and a second half day of completely cooking, from 8 am to about 7pm. But with a group and a keg of beer, it was a lot of fun and something I would do again if I could get a crowd big enough to make it worth while.
