This reminds me of one year in the dead of Canadian winter when I was following a deer trail through the woods and ran out of daylight and had to camp with no tent or sleeping bag. I built a fire and heated rocks and buried them and covered them with sand and tree boughs to keep me warm....13 hrs in the cold feeding the fire with wolves closer than I thought they were. It was beautiful!

Awesome Simon and Merry Christmas. You know once upon a time every other person in New Zealand had an Uncle or a mate who worked on the Railways (or so it seemed). Railway iron is often used in hangis instead of stones. Saves on all that dangerous exploding stuff. I would figure any heavy iron or other metal would do the job in place of those stones. Oh, and next time pop a bit of pumpkin and a sweet potatoe or two in. - Ben.

Native Americans would dig a side hole and tunnel into the main fire pit, so that fresh air would draw in from the bottom. I've just gotten started watching this (I'm at 5:33), and I'm fascinated.

The Dakota Fire Pit might help the need for RAGING heat, much better oxygen supply than fanning. Huge effort, bringing in your own rocks and breakfast sausage skillet…not to mention a Christmas meal, WOW. Hawaiians stack the rocks into a wall around the outer edges of the hole, placing the food in the center. Then they collapse the stones when they bury their pig and veggies. Thank you, Simon, from an old vet, retired in the US, hills of east Tennessee…finally. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊 🎉✨😄. This Christmas meal looks delicious!!!

Introducing my 85 year old mum to the joys of KZbin we came across this, delighted us both and reminded us of our Christmases in the Caribbean when she taught at Ross School of Medicine in Dominica, the first year she was there we tried pit roasting a (whole) turkey and then proceeded to do so the every other Christmas we spent in Dominica for the 20 odd years she taught there. Used to wrap the turkey in banana leaves and 2nd or 3rd time round built a cradle out of wire coat hangers to get the turkey in and out of our pit. Great video that brought back some even better memories. Thanks from us both.

Simon, we did something like this at summer camp. We would line a hole with the stones and built the fire in the lined hole. We could then rake the fire out and then line the hole with wet grass, above and below the food. We put a chicken, vegetables, etc in a pillow case. More wet grass and then cover with dirt. That way when you’re leading a group of adult leaders through the woods, you could remark that you were a little hungry, and then dig up dinner. Great video.

This was totally coolio! I had never heard of "Hangi" before, had to look that up. I've done many clam boils on the beach before, I thought this would be similar, but its not. We used to call this a wart pit because the sides are vertical and the pit base is deep. The fire struggled a bit for lack of air flow and you covered the top with wet burlap over sticks to create an actual oven chamber. The food was applied directly on top of the hot rocks. In a clam boil, the pit is much bigger and rounder with shallow, sloping sides because its generally done on a sandy beach. The pit is fully lined with rocks first and the fire rages above the rim of the pit to heat the rocks. You can use a pitchfork to rattle the rocks around to let the embers fall down between them if you want, but removing them would be a lost resource and would burn bare feet. Wet seaweed is then loaded in directly all over on top of the hot rocks and embers and then layered with the food but only in the middle. The food pile and the edge of rocks on the rim are covered in more seaweed. The food is arranged and layered in the boil in a cook time logic based on the food type. Usually a few carrots are placed loose in the top of the boil to serve as a thermometer. The whole pile is covered with more seaweed and wet burlap. The boil just steams away while you drink too much! :-) This was an actual oven! You totally rocked my mind! Totally cool!

When I was a Boy Cub, we Camped on a Hillside in Devon on the edge of some Woods, we dug into the Hillside leaving an edge to prop up a used (and cleaned out) 5 litre metal oil can, which we made into an Oven. That was then covered with the Turf we had removed leaving a Chimney gap behind. We then had a fire under the oil can which drew up the back and out. If remember correctly I think we Baked a simple Bread. It was probably close to 40 years ago now, but I remember the Oven and have always thought it was awesome to use your surroundings to make a cook system. Thanks again for the content Si.

Bloody hell Simon I was only going to watch a few minutes of this on this Christmas afternoon instead of the telly or playing a game with the family. However, you got me mesmerised and I couldn’t turn off. You are one amazing person Simon with so much talent. I truly believe that before we are born God gives out talent and ability but he get fed up and dishes load out willy nilly and then finds he has to economise and so people like me are given virtually nothing! The food looked amazing and Maggie certainly enjoyed it. The problem of cooking outdoors is that once it’s ready it has to be eaten fast so as not to go cold. Many is the breakfasts that I’ve cook out in the mountains that are stone cold before the last sausage has been scoffed. All that being said your food certainly made my mouth water. Kath is about to dish up the Christmas dinner, it had better be up to your standards is all I’ll say. Cheers Mike. PS I’ve listed several of your videos for watching later. 👍

Now if I remember this right, it was about 30 years ago. He left a stick going down over the food parcel and started to bury it, next he gave the stick a wiggle to make a hole and poured water down the hole to produce his steam then sealed the hole.

kia ora from new zealand!! we use a type of volcanic rock called andesite in our hangis. these rocks hold a significant amount of heat for a good amount of time and do not explode in the fire. they do require quite a lot of wood to heat them though depending on the amount of stones you are using which would depend on the amount of food being cooked. having the fire in the hole is a good move as it dries out the surrounding soil before cooking, otherwise the wet soil would drain some of the heat during the cooking. having said all that i did enjoy watching it being done differently and im glad it turned out well for you, job well done!!
