If you want to roast a whole hog, you can fit small animals onto an offset firebox smoker such as the ones on the Charcoal Smoker page of this Buyer's Guide.
Of course if you have a Commercial Smoker or Mobile Smoker, you can roast a pretty good sized pig. There are also several companies making specialized whole pig roasters. Below are links to a few. For a good article on pig roasting, click here. Click here for another.

Shopping tip. When a product is available on Amazon.com, GrillsDirect.com, and ShoppersChoice.com, I often provide a direct link. These reliable merchants often have the best prices anywhere, even better than the manufacturer's website. That's because manufacturers know that if they undercut other merchants, important resellers may drop their products. Full disclosure: Amazon.com, GrillsDirect.com, and ShoppersChoice.com pay me a small commission so purchasing from them helps underwrite the cost of operating AmazingRibs.com. But better reasons to buy from them are low price, fast delivery, and good refund policies. Please let me know if you find discrepencies in model numbers, specs, and prices.
E-Z Cue. This clever basket system makes it really easy to get your hog on and off the heat. Be sure to watch their video.
Hot Design Rotisserie. A clever open air design with the coals in a tray that can be moved up and down on a scissor lift for temperature control. Made of stainless steel and aluminum, the scissor lift allows you to collapse it easily into a compact unit. It is powered by a 12 volt car battery with an inverter.
La Caja China. Shown above, this is a metal lined plywood box in which you place a small, splayed pig. On goes the lid and the coals go on top of the lid turning the box into a hot oven. Cooks fast and maked very crispy skin but the meat does not get smoky or a grilled flavor. Perfect for backyard parties and luaus. See photo above.
