we usually don't bury it in the sand. we dig a hole in the earth(dirt) and make an imu pit. you could do it in the sand, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've never seen anyone do it in the sand
here's a tutorial on an imu pit ... http://www.primitiveways.com/Imu1.html
That's f-ing cool doc. Got that link bookmarked. Going to the river to get me some good rocks tomorrow and building my pit. Got plenty of banana palms here. Thanks for sharing that bro. You never seen it done in sand on a beach? They dug a big hole and got the fire going. Then dumped rocks and sand over the coals. Then wrapped the pig in huge palm leaves. Then buried it. I only ever saw it that way in Hawa'i. Probably some tourist story. Lol. Pig was really good though.

Damn.. I'm hungry now. It's usually cool when people are talking about sandwiches and I get hungry since I can just go make one. But I want BBQ now.. and it's 1:45 in the morning and I have no meat.. this sucks.

i havent been bbqing that long but my two fav recipes I've figured out so far:

Pork ribs - tell butcher to remove membrane for fall of the bone meat, rub with rib rub, little bit of garlic pepper/salt. sear on grill on high for about 3 minutes on each side. then put in oven @275F for 5 hours. take ribs out and smother in fav bbq sauce, let stand 5 mins and enjoy!

Buffalo wild wings - esque - you will need franks red hot, ranch dressing, a large bowl to mix wing and dressing. Sprinkle the wings with garlic pepper liberally. cook on low heat for about 20 minutes on the grill (I like to slow cook wings to burn off fat in skin). put wings in giant bowl. 50/50 mix of franks red hot and ranch dressing... you'll love it! every one of my freinds I've made it for has loved it. granted we were all baked off our ass but still...

great recipes in this thread, will be trying out each and every one at some point during the summer, thanks!

it's better to cook burgers on a skillet or flat grill. helps retain the natural fats and oils when cooking the burger. my butcher down here gets really good bone in ribeyes. a little kosher or sea salt and fresh pepper. let it sit in the fridge for about 6 hours. then on to a hot grill. when i flip it a stick a little butter on the topside. pink all the way through is how i like it. you should also let steakes and burgers sit for about 5 minutes before serving. allows the muscle to settle and the grease to be absorved back into the meat.

I used to come home from the bars and me and a bunch of friends would spark up the grill, used to do a lot of 3am tri-tip and for some reason carne asada tacos were a hit too... stay high

naw I never seen it done in the sand. probably cause most people will usually just dig a nice pit in the yard and use it maybe a few times a year for big parties and stuff. I rarley do it anymore, to much work! lol the lazy way we do it up now is just buy a big fat chunk of pork butt and throw that badboy in the steamer. hahaha

I can see it being done in the sand at one of the big luau tourist thingies though, just never been to one of those before :lol:

that's what i figured. we were at one of the big resorts on Oahu. they did a whole big spread on the beach. we rarely do a whole pig anymore. maybe 2-3 times a year. mostly i do pork butts/shoulders in the smoker. i built one here at the house out of some brick i had leftover from a project. i get cinnamon bark and dust from a spice farm. throw that in the smoker throughout the cooking. really adds some flavor.
