How primative do you want to go?

Here's an interesting story about building and cooking on a IMU - a Hawaiian underground oven.

To answer your question, maybe not that primative. Or at least not on a regular basis. It might be fun for a gathering, but seems like a lot of work to end up with pot roast.

Belly Bro and I did this a few years back, everthing was going great, been cooking about 3 hours, when all of a sudden came a 6" rain, rained all night, went and looked in the pit the next morning after the rain. Well all I can say is "Dead Pigs Can't Swim".

I believe my avatar speaks for itself. but just in case; "been there done that." The method is also used around Pantagonia and traditional meat can also include baby calf, goat or lamb. Dave Little may find the latter 2 alternatives method especially convenient since they are pre-buried.
