Boron, I see that one option is spit barbecuing. I'm not up on any type of
equipment that does this. All I can remember is at one time in the
long-past I had a couple of ovens that did have a rotisserie, which I think
oven/rotiss would probably be too small, but AIR, they would accommodate a
large turkey.

However, my answer for you to consider -- is there anyone that you could
borrow something from to do this on. I think you said that you did not want
to do something inside. But I recall in days past someone gave me a large
ss rotisserie. IOW for a large item. If this is the case, perhaps someone
you know has something like this around for you to borrow?

From Costsco:

For Spit Barbecuing


Allow 15-20 minutes per pound cooking time. Mount the trussed pig on spit
rod. Insert forks securely in pig and tighten. Insert meat thermometer in
heaviest part of hindquarter. Attach spit to unit and turn on motor.
Barbeque pig over a medium heat of 150-190ºC. When the pig is cooked, the
juices will be a clear yellow when pierced with a knife. Reduce the heat
around the head towards the end of cooking. If some parts cook before the
rest of the pig (ears), cover with tin foil. Baste during the last hour to
bronze and crisp skin.
