The steam pit may not sound like an appetizing cooking technique, but wait until you try it. This primitive cooking method makes great tasting food that stays hot for hours. The steam pit is a hole in the ground (or a raised mound) with hot rocks at the bottom. These rocks are covered with dirt or sand, then wrapped food is sandwiched between two layers of green vegetation. This entire pile is covered with dirt and/or tarps to seal in the steam to cook the food. Follow the directions, and enjoy.
1. Digging In The Dirt
Start by digging a pit in the soil. The pit can be any depth and width, and it can be dug in the dirt, clay or sand. The pit can be small or as large as you have rocks and food to fill it with and about 2 feet deep. Any shape will work. Collect a pile of local rocks that are capable of handling a lot of heat. Make sure you have enough to fill the bottom of the pit,
