These are the observations I recall: 1. The pig was on a large metal tray to retain the juices in the immediate area and to prevent the fire from spreading across the floor of the room. 2. There was some fabric placed over the pig to supply wicking. 3. An accelerant was used to kick things off. 4. The fire was never intense enough to spread to the ceiling. 5. Some torso bones did burn to ash. 6. The extremeties were largely intact at the conclusion of the fire.
