When I pit-cook food and I do that a few times per year over the past 25 years, I use stones heated to red hot in a nearby fire, then I layer the pit as follows (bottom of the pit to top):<br />1- Hot rocks<br />2- layer of soil just covering rocks<br />3- grasses<br />4- food (corn, turkey, fish etc)<br />5-Optional - gridwork of sticks<br />6- grasses<br />7-layer of soil<br />8-hot rocks<br />9- layer of soil<br /><br />When I remove the top layers to get to the food, I can grab the grid and simply lift it like a lid (with the grass in it), this is a two person job and workable only after most of the soil and top layer of rocks have been removed first with a shovel. <br />Cooking this way has a turkey done in 3 hours at the most, but there's no such thing as overcooking in this method since its all moist and steamy :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117500767075015752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-15146322521976197462016-07-13T11:42:13.477-07:002016-07-13T11:42:13.477-07:00amazing thanks so much for your effort!amazing thanks so much for your effort!Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864365746305683649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-29620265327855520622015-02-23T22:58:46.565-08:002015-02-23T22:58:46.565-08:00True Italian brick ovens have been around since th...<br />True Italian brick <a href="http://www.thegreenbook.com/products/ovens/" rel="nofollow">ovens</a> have been around since the beginning of time and the birth of culinary preparation, it seems. They date back as far as the ancient Roman Empire, and remnants have been found of these rustic tools, particularly in ancient Pompeii. Archeologists and researchers have determined that some of these relics could even be used today, and with little repair or restoration. This fact attests to the durability and reliability of ancient brick ovens, as well as the painstaking craftsmanship of the artisans who created them. Today, these professional-grade tools are still considered reliable and necessary in contemporary homes where pizza making is somewhat of an art form.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980065539340519038noreply@blogger.com
