Alright, I am throwing my annual BBQ, which usually comes with a "wow" centerpiece. This year, I am leaning towards to pig roast. Looking for recipes/ideas, and notes from your experiences in doing one.

I will have about 30-40 people, in and out, so not all at once. Mostly friends and neighbors. I will probably order a 50lb pig, either from a farm or an online place. I have the location of the pit and what not, and will either buy or rent a spit.

I am thinking of doing it the pig semi-lechon style. Basically stuffing the pig with herbs and spices, and letting it roll all day. Will baste the skin with soy sauce throughout the roast.

Want to see/hear what others have done on this platform, and hear what recipes they used.
 
I did a staff bbq once and did a whole pig on my GMG pellet smoker. It fit. placed it racing style to make it fit. I got it from a local farmer and he processed it and seasoned it prior to pick up.
