Seems to me if a 16# turkey will fit then a 16# piggie ought to fit...

Fun Fact: George Stephen went out and bought a few suckling pigs and measured them.  This is how he came up with the 26-3/4 diameter.

Something in the 10-16 lb. range would probably fit it you tie the back legs to the front legs.
But keep in mind, the smaller the pig, the more expensive it will be, per pound. For a suckling under 30 or 40 pounds, you're mostly paying for labor. That labor cost is the same for a 10-pounder as it is for a 40-pounder.

Cool fact - thanks

I have a 26.75" and just got a CB rotisserie for it. Better believe suckling pig is going to be one of my holiday cooks!

Coincidentally, I came across this photo last night while thumbing through the old cookbook "Barbecuing the Weber covered way"It's followed by a fun description of a Luau including menu and decorating ideas.

Amazing! What color kettle is that? It looks plum but no plum MBH’s exist. Definitely a tight fit.

Ah!  I'm sorry I miss that in your OP.  Well.. as pointed out in the follow-ons, it may be a tough fit with what's available by you.  I hope you're able to come up with something for your plans.

Thanks smokeVide, sounds like bigger the better, may have to pull out bigred. I was hoping to use rotisserie on 22 inch.
