Pigs are pink because they have fewer sweat glands than other animals, so their skin lacks the ability to regulate body temperature effectively. This results in a reddish-pink hue due to the blood vessels being closer to the surface of their skin. Additionally, genetics play a role in determining the specific shade of pink in pigs.

Pigs do not naturally smell bad. If someone raised a dog somewhere dirty, the dog would smell. Pigs are raised either in farms or in tiny pens (where they do all their pooing and peeing, so they smell alot) so they smell thanks to no fault of their own.

That also means the saying 'I am sweating like a pig' isn't true. == ==

How long does it take to roast a pig?
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.
