Yep, he posted a silly youtube link about people cooking

I know that it is a way that Hawaiians sometimes cook pigs. I
just wonder how often they do it. (snippage)
 

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.

He also insinuates mainlanders don't ever cook in the ground.
Ever been to a clambake? (snippage)

 
Yes, I've been to a clambake.  David likes to insinuate a lot of
things about "mainlanders" but he doesn't really know what he's
talking about.

You act like mainlanders clambake every day. That's just so silly.

Depending on area and climate, once a week around here though clams may
be just one of the offerings.  There's some spots where a communal pit
was made by the neighbors and everybody uses it for a little post
church.  Charlie Wright's church has one and they use it as a group
after services in good weather.  The back of the church is 1 house from
one of the best crabbing spots but there's a limit and an off season
(breeding time).  A couple of picnic tables, some coals or chip wood
and water from the church and it's a go!
