pit roasting
Buried ember method
Pit roasting is a cooking method where meat is slow-cooked in a hole dug in the ground, typically lined with hot stones or coals and covered with earth or leaves to trap heat.
The technique produces tender, smoky results and appears across cultures—from Hawaiian luaus to Southern barbecue: They spent all night pit roasting the pig.
