I just had a quick look at that link and it is all pretty much what i trying to tell you. BTW....putting a hungi down is the man job. The hole needs to be a bit digger than the basket with the food in, and about twince in the deepth. Once you heat the steels or stones and you drag them into the hole, they need to have a quick dust off with a wet sheet or large rag, the last thing you want is for too much ash to go into the hole or your food will taste YUK. BTW....line the food basket with tin foil so the food not fall out. The food basket goes directly on top of the hot steels, then a wet sheet, over the food , then the saks, then the soil. This needs to be done as fast as poss cos you need the steam to cook the food. Someone needs to stay near the hole while it is covered cos you will get lil leaks of steam that need more soil patted down onto it

Many times as a kid we would have them but i never seen how they do it because it was always real early in the morning at my uncles farm.Say for about 6 - 10 people like how big should the hole be and what rocks or coals are best to use.All i remember really are alot of cabbagas lol.Im craving some food cooked that way and i cant contact my dad to ask him how to do it hes a hard man to track down.If you could give me a few pointers it would be great so i can start Rating: 5
