I am roasting a small pig this weekend for a "Harvest Party" we are having. I am probably going to toss a turkey, some chickens, a large chunk of venison (if I can find it in time).
It'll all go into a "custom" pit I have had in my yard for years. (I'll post a pic or two soon)
In any case, I think we "pit cookers" are a fairly rare breed and you don't find much on the method on the interwebs. I figured this forum might not be a bad place to start.
I freakin' love cooking in my pit and with the exception of one pig I roasted in 2011, I have been extremely happy with the results (and 2011 wasn't the pit's fault).
Anyway... Just seeing if anyone else uses this method for home cooking. I know it is THE method for "real barbecue" throughout the South although my pit is slightly modified.
