Yep, he posted a silly youtube link about people cooking something in a huge pit dug into the ground.  It had nothing to do with the heat retention of cast iron or any other type of pan.

 I know that it is a way that Hawaiians sometimes cook pigs. I just wonder how often they do it. I have been to pig roasts around here where they were cooked in special BBQs fashioned from old heating oil tanks. The pork was always wonderful. I know there are a few people around with the equipment to do it so I suppose I pretend it is a  common mode of cooking but the fact is that pig roasts are few and far between. I have not been to one on over 20 years.
 

The thing is, David acts like Hawaiians cook this way every day.  I'm pretty darn sure they aren't all out tending a fire in a pit dug in the ground every day in order to cook their food.  And it has nothing to do with cast iron or other pans conduction of and retention of heat. Typical misdirection.
