In Samoa, men and boys prepare an above-ground oven - called an umu - almost daily.
It’s also a tradition being carried out by the rapidly growing Samoan diaspora in Australia.
It’s one of the many ways that parents can pass on their culture to their children.
In Rockhampton, central Queensland, Safanua Onehunga Mata’uiau is helping his son hone his umu-making skills, but there have been a few tweaks to account for the different environments.
The wood burns a bit hotter, there is no fresh taro, and you have to account for your neighbours. But here’s a step-by-step to make your umu Queensland style.

Love umu.
The best way to cook good.
Went out with a Samoan and the down side was I put on weight.
I did this with 5 small piglets. We had exploding rocks. Burnt fingers. Rain. 12 foot flames when we opened her up and the oxygen hit the remaining coals. Wasn't my best dinner party as far as food goes but winding up to have another go soon!
Poor piggys
you gotta use river rocks brotha not just any kind of rocks
River rocks my Uso 😂 damn.. don’t tell me you got an Aussie born Samoan to do your umu? 😜😂
Where did you get there rocks from? Provides a lawful answer. The truth: steal from the rail way tracks 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 yeah
Or from the river down the road lol
Nah those rocks blow up when heated
What can you use instead of alfoil?
Banana leaves. For extra layer we usually use breadfruit leaves on top of it.
very nice
Awesome way to cook I had someone do this on the beach ⛱ 😍😇🥰
Thumbs down. Wear heat resistant gloves or oven mitts. Ya cheeky bastard.
