Is lookin for wood to cook with.
...I only want to cook a pork butt in there. I have dug the hole. I am gonna put a round stone type step that I am not using for the bottom layer. Maybe put some bricks going up the side.
Ill start to burn some wood for a few hours to get the coals. I found where I can buy some banana leaves at the Mexican market here.
1) Would aluminum foil work as well as banana leaves?
2) Can I sit the wrapped meat directly on the coals? It seems it would burn the banana leaves or have hot overcooked parts where the meat was lying on the coals. Do I or what type of buffer would I need between the coals and meat? Suggestions?
Of course I will put a cover on the hole and seal it as best as possible.
