Deep Pit Bbq

This can be fun, but be careful not to burn down the place! It takes about 3 hours to burn down the wood to ash so start early.

I purchased this from my local meat market. Ran me about $40.

Chop onions, garlic, and slice lemons for stuffing and outside rub. Also added parsley, pepper, salt.

We added apple juice alittle orange juice and more seasoning. Juice is added to prevent the head from not drying out We wrapped in foil and dropped the head in the pot.

Pit should look all grey, I threw in a few last minute logs, but they are not necessary. We left the meat in and covered for 9 hours. The picture with the rope was an easy way to drop the pot in without getting too hot.

I had my pit made with a cement lid. Place lid and make sure not smoke escapes. This ensures all the heat is sealed in and cooking your meat. This pit works much like a crockpot.

Uncover after 9 hours or so. The meat just falls off the bone. Sooooo good....enjoy!
