I'd love to do a pit like that once I move into a bigger house. Definitely nowhere to do that now. My dream is a bbq pit, a brick grill and pizza over, and a fireplace in the backyard.

+100 on the brining here also. I do my pig roast (cochon de lait--cajun for suckling pig) Cuban style. I still season and inject the pig with tons of cajun goodness and coonass love instead of the traditional cuban mojo marinade. The whole cooking process is the same. Great bonding time with the guys and lots of homebrew to be drank. Here is a link to the website for the 3 guys from Miami on how the whole above ground fire box/pit is set up. Nothing like having a good smoked flavor and a nice cracklin skin all over the pig.

Thats a great pit design. Did you use standard block or fire rated? Of all the pits I have looked at online yours looks to be the set up I want to build.

What would you do different if any?
