Daniel here. Just wanted to post a "how to do pit BBQ" post. We had such a good time at the family reunion and the pit BBQ has been a tradition for as long as I can remember. It was in Cle Elum, Washington, which is in the cascade mountains. More pictures to come from the reunion later.

Step 1: Dig a hole, 3 ft deep-ish.
Me in the hole.
Me not in the hole.
Step 2: Line the hole with big rocks and build a fire in the hole.

Belinda, watching it burn. Isn't she sooo cutely pregnant!
Step 3: Wrap up an enormous amount of potatoes and meat in tinfoil. Season it well.
Step 4: Wrap the meat and potatoes in wet burlap sacks.
Step 5: Take out the burnt wood, leaving behind only the rocks (they should be very, very hot).
Step 6: Place the meat and potatoes in the pit, on top of the rocks, they will sizzle nicely.Then place extra wet burlap bags over everything.
Step 7: Dump 15 gallons of water over everything (creating the steam that cooks the meat). Have everyone possible next to it throw all the dirt on top as fast as possible to trap the steam.
Step 8: Make sure there are is no steam coming out, if there is cover it with more dirt.
Step 9: Let it cook for about 5-6 hours. Take out the food and enjoy!

Also, ripsticks are cool.
