Oh man - looks amazing. Starting the recruiting process.
Very cool. One day, one day.... :-)
Would you recommend a pig, goat, or lamb, be done in this same style?
Absolutely not, it's the quickness that fresh seafood cooks that makes it viable. You're basically steaming everything imagine steaming a leg of lamb
When you say 'Lawry's seasoning', do you mean Lawry's Seasoned Salt, or is there some other blend that they sell that doesn't have all the salt in it?
This is good for camping in the Northwest...I'll sure to used this idea the next time we all have a gathering or camping..Thank you...
Ever had braised meat? Essentially steamed and its delicious.
Also ever heard of a hangi or umu? Normally in the earth not the beach and a longer cook but same thing and once again delicious. Tastes like the earth you cook in. You can put any meat in.

The best part of that meal is the people. Isolation and social distancing suck. I want a party with family and friends. Such joy!
I'm doing this for a big group THIS Friday. I'm trying to get my timing right. Can you give me an idea of how long it takes to create the fire into the needed coals? Any quick help would be much appreciated!
We would recommend that you plan on it taking about an hour.
Above we say it takes about " a couple hours," however I'd plan on giving it at least two hours. The goal is not to just burn down to coals, but to store up a lot of heat energy into the rocks below. Heat does not particularly like to travel downward so this is a slow process but its one that you do not want to skip past. Often what I have done is burn for two or three hours as its very difficult to over heat but it's quite easy to under heat the base.
Awesome. Thanks so much Grant!
