Quote:Any thoughts on pit pairing?
Just had another thought. You don't need water to cook either - two pits, one heats stones(stones don't necessarily have to be in contact with fire, think of a pottery kiln/oven type of arrangement, figure of eight/ keyhole shaped pit?) the other pit has maybe two-thirds of the heated stones thrown into it, these are then covered in leaves etc. food placed on leaves (a nice side of salmon?) More leaves on this, last of stones placed on top of whole thing. A roof placed over whole affair to trap heat (are postholes in some pits to support this roof?) Thirty mins later, Nigella comes along and serves it up to a thankful television audience. Yum yum. These kind of pits are used in Papua-New Guinea and are associated with marriage celebrations etc.
