Here is 65 pound pig that we roasted in about 3 1/2 hours. We roasted it in a covered roaster that stayed very hot. It took about 100 pounds of charcoal. We started with 40 pounds and then added 20 pounds an hour. We served it with Hawaiian Baked beans (recipe below) and fresh corn. Many of the guests at the pig roast brought amazing appetizers and other salads. We had pasta salad, potato salad, rice salad, bean salad, tuna salad, herring…..Just lots of food.

After dinner our guests settled in to watch the band.
