Take a look at http://www.spitjack.com/ as they carry spits that can roast
a pig or lamb. They also provide some very good details as to set-ups
that could be
fashioned at home if you have the tools, forge, money, etc. The War is
just a week away
so time may be a factor too.
Do you want a period set-up or a modern one? That's another factor too.
How big a pig is also the question as larger animals need sturdier
equipment?
Roasting a chicken (single) requires something less than what one needs
to roast
a 25 pound turkey. A 125 pound dressed hog requires a more substantial
set-up than a lamb.
One thing you can do is check the archives for this list and read
through past conversations
about pigs and suchlike.
http://lists.ansteorra.org/pipermail/spit-project-ansteorra.org/
List archives can even be searched.
Plans and photos of equipment that has been created or purchased can be
seen at the Yahoo site
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Medieval-Open-Fire-Cooking/
You can search the photos section there or check the files and messages.
Hope this helps
