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.

I asked your artificially intelligent friend:
"Hawaiians have a traditional way of cooking pig in a pit, known as
kalua cooking. Kalua pig is a staple of Hawaiian luaus and other
celebrations."
