pork in a pit
Hey guys...
I've heard of ppl down south making a huge fire in a pit lined with stones... stuffing and wrapping a medium sized pig in aluminum foil, and putting it right in the middle of the fire and then pile the hot stones around it. I guess then they cover everything up with dirt so the heat stays in and then come back in a few hours for supper. I've thought of trying this, or even using something smaller like a marinated chicken in a roasting pan and sealing it w/aluminum foil.
Anybody else heard of this or know how to do it?
Sounds like a neat way to cook something up, and I've thought of trying it for a camp-out this summer...
Suggestions? Comments? or is this a bad idea!
thanks and take care,
Gerard
