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.

It's been 10 or 11 years since we last had a pig roast.  We don't
have 100 friends to invite to one.  The roaster sits unused in the
shed.  We've tried to get rid of it a couple of times, but had no
takers.
