Tried this and my turkey didn't Brown it was light and warm after 7h, the flames must've been smothered by the dirt. Definitely going to try again this year 🤞🏽
Hey George, Great video! A question: I've seen this done the way you did except that they built a small fire directly on the top of the coals and dirt. Did you ever see a need for this, or do you think you had amassed enough coals for the desired heat retention/output? Thanks!
Hi, Yeah I seen and done that too. If you think you have enough red hot coals they should provide heat long enough but, if your not sure building a fire on top will help. The whole thing is you have to practice enough to get a feel for it.
Dude, that looked delish! U need to figure out an new school way of retrieving ur food from the earth, maybe some sort of handle that you can lift it outta the fire/rocks...looks like ur football goal is up, we need a football field goal video next! LOL CHEERS!
The simplest way to figure out turkey roasting times is to calculate 13 minutes per pound at 350°F for an unstuffed turkey (that's about 3 hours for a 12- to 14-lb. turkey), or 15 minutes per pound for a stuffed turkey.
To keep the residual heat contained in the pit. Remember, heat rises, so you need something to contain your cooking heat. Anything will work, just as long as it won't melt or burn up. Look up how the Native Hawaiians do a Lua/ pit roasted pig with veggies. It's very interesting!
Try a large chicken. It's what we do. You'll never taste another chicken again like one cooked underground. 🔥 Ribs, brisket, and roasts fall off the bone as well.
Not so, your not smothering it, the wood coals will give it flavor and cover it will keep the juices from escaping, and plus the next step is going a whole half pig like this, I see this as a learning video for bigger things just my thoughts tho! This way isn't for everyone just country folk it seems like
i saw stupidity while you opening the aluminium, some dirt fallen to the chicken. you should clear them before open the aluminium to prevent dirt or muddy from entering the bowl or chicken. why so hurry. afterall i dont see you eat it but merely dancing.
#1 It was a damn turkey, not a chicken! #2 Although his method of vessel removal needs some work, I didn't see any dirt or debris get dropped into the dish while he uncovered it. As you could clearly see, he un-crimped the edges of the aluminum pan from the edge of the roasting pan. Very hard for dirt, etc, to get past that barrier. Why be so negative and critical on a long lost art of food preparation anyways!?
LMAO. Crazzzzzyyyyyyy. He proceeds to call another man stup!d, when he can't even identify the type of bird that is being cooked.🤣🤣🤣 I swear people make 🐎's out of themselves. No need to even try, LMFA0.🤣🤣🤏🏼🧠
It was cooked through and there was plenty for everyone, you all should have been there, Thanks for watching!

@@Driftwoodgeorge Thanks for the response. I'll try this next week with a goose!
Good job

That looks awesome have you ever tried a ham
I did pork ribs, I'll have to try it, stay tuned.
@@Driftwoodgeorge I also cooked ham in past but forgot how I made it until reminded me.
@@Driftwoodgeorge thanks for the advice I appreciate it
How long should u cook a 13lb turkey in a pit
The simplest way to figure out turkey roasting times is to calculate 13 minutes per pound at 350°F for an unstuffed turkey (that's about 3 hours for a 12- to 14-lb. turkey), or 15 minutes per pound for a stuffed turkey.
Next time use bailing wire to hold it all together and to make a handle to remove the hot turkey from the hole.
Omg son brother after my own heart
Suggest wires to vessel to make easier to pull out
Again in November? 🍗 🦃
But why cover pit with metal? Just want to learn. Anbody knows

Fuck I dont even like turkey that much but thats a perfect turkey to me that I would demolish.
Try a large chicken. It's what we do. You'll never taste another chicken again like one cooked underground. 🔥
Ribs, brisket, and roasts fall off the bone as well.
Damnnnnnn
Did you even seasoned the turkey my boy?
It's better than you could do boy.
@@Driftwoodgeorge Nah I doubt that.
Who's watching this before Thanksgiving lol?
No thanks... I go to 5 Guys in this case.
Why not just use an oven? Literally the same thing!

Way different than an oven.
Your oven doesn't cook meat like this.
When done right a pit is more like a pressure cooker then a oven
@@andrewstanford7573 Yes, exactly. A crock pot or pressure cooker.
