It's very showy, but it's kind of a pain Archived Message Posted by Sounder on April 11, 2025, 13:21:39, in reply to "That's kinda what I was thinking. Look cool. Cheap. Seems easy. FUCKTON of charcoal. *" I'll try to dig up some photos. We've had some epic experiences with it. The time we roasted a whole pig was effing crazy. The guy who was tasked with being in charge got way too drunk and he kept opening up the top to show people the pig, significantly increasing the cook time. Previous Message Previous Message I've roasted a whole pig, a whole lamb, and we also had a seafood bake with it. They're fun, but honestly, more trouble than what it's worth.
