Cooking whole hogs in underground pit

[step-n-fetch-it]

Thanks for the posting cowgirl! As a young whipper-snapper, I remember my dad and friends cooking some venison hams in an underground pit. Even as a youngin', I remember that was the best tasting meat I ever had!!! And I have always remembered how tender it was and how good it tasted.
With your posting, I'm going to seriously attempt to do the same (but maybe not with not a whole hog!!).
Thanks for the motivation.

You're sure welcome step-n-fetch-it. It's an old method of cooking food, but it's still a good one in my book.

Hope you try it, and remember to take pictures for me!

Arggh. I got logged off again and lost my entire post. Will try to send pictures if ever I get to see one again. Its not too common nowdays. There is another cooking method called huli pig. Basically rotisserie style. The skin becomes crisp. Anyway until I learn how to make longer posts without getting logged off I will keep it short. Maybe someone else on this forum from Hawaii has pictures.
