It needs to be strong enough and large enough to support the carcass.
Believe it or not when cooking a pig in the ground you dig a pit. Then start your fire either with hardwood or charcoal or both. Let the fire die down to coals. Put a sheet of metal over the pit then place the pig on top of that. Then put another sheet of metal over the pig. Then cover with dirt. Wait 6 to 7 hours, then remove dirt and pull the pig out and enjoy...

You can have an open wood fire pit as long as you have a grate that will cover the pit and ready to cook food near the pit. The pit becomes a grill once you have both the grate and food near the pit. Remember to burn wood, no yard waste as you can get a fine for that. Wood, Grate, and Food = no fine
The length of roasting time would depend on the size of the pig, whether or not you stuffed it, your coal load and the type of cooker. These comments concern a cooker with cover rather than open pit style. Most 275 gallon oil drum type of cookers are long enough for a 60-75 lb pig if part of the legs are removed to fit.7 hours is probably the outside length of time and would likely be a stuffed pig. If the pig is stuffed with fruit, veggies, sausages, poultry, etc. you will need to cook until they are done. If the cavity is open to the heat, the pig will cook from inside and outside but exposing the inside will cook it faster as the heat does not have to penetrate the thick skin and fat layer beneath it.BEST practice is to use a thermometer and occasionally stick it into the rump to check to see if it hit 140+ When the rump hits that, give it no more than 1 hour. Tend your coal and try not to open it up too often. Remember if it is enclosed, it is an oven and you are letting the heat out.
Earth pit is a glass-covered pit or trench that safeguards plants from frost. It is also used in making charcoals because it becomes a shield against oxygen.
