Make sure to have really good hot volcanic rocks that will make sure they keep the heat and heat the food

You then need to heat these rocks up in the bottom of the pit

You need to pack and wrap all of your foot in big baskets so you can put these in the pit

Once the rocks are really hot

You put the baskets on top of the rocks

You cover the baskets with your wet sacks or sheets

The steam and heat cooks the food for a couple of hours

Once its ready you pull the dirt and sheets and or sacks off

Pull the baskets out take them to a safe place to start sharing the food out

Everybody has a kai!
