We do about 4-5 hogs a year when it's real cold.  We have a big cast iron shallow pit that is about 4 ft wide.  We heat the water in drums and cast iron pots and when we get that water to a rolling boil, we shoot the hog, bleed him, and put the water in the pot.  Stick the hog in there and roll him around until that hair can be pulled off easy.  You may have to get some o the hard to get places with buckets of water by pourin it on them.  We also only do the front end and then the back end when it's a big Barr.  Pop the nails off with a bucket of hot water and then gut em and then hang em in a tree over night.
