Thanks. Being from the south, pigs are roasted in the ground there. I have read up on the process, but not done it. I am told there is none better. There are people that specialize in doing pig-in-ground cookouts and will come over and do them for you. I guess that I will just have to get by cooking the pig on the grill or smoker!
They pretty much mimic the ‘in-ground’ method with lots of wood and burying the pig inside the ashes,etc. - it’s a yummy mess! The metal boxes are big - probably 5’x4’
Next time I talk to one of the guys I’ll get the scoop on how they go about it - I usually show up when the pig is done :>)and the box is still smoldering away off in the corner.
