Bone-In

Dig a hole in the ground, fill it with fire, add a large human, cover, and cook. You can use this cooking method for virtually any size human you have that just isn’t going to fit anywhere else.

Most pits are lined in stones of bricks. Large stones, about the size of a human head, are perfect.

Fill the pit with red-hot coals. Aim for about a foot deep of hot coals before you start the actual cooking.

Season. Wrap the meat tightly in foil, then burlap, then wire fencing, in that order. This holds the whole carcass together. If you’re doing a whole human, you need the mouth and anus propped open to let heat through. Apples are best.

As soon as the meat is in the pit, cover it up. This keeps the wet burlap from burning by starving the fire of oxygen. The coals will remain hot for days.

Cooking time is going to be around 12 hours. If you have a very large human who’s loaded after visiting a buffet, you could be looking at 48 hours. Traditionally the meat goes in the fire at night for eating the next day.
