Week Four Interlude - Mo's Experimental Cooking Pit Northwest Fusion Extravaganza (Part One)

Though it's not the end of the summer, all of the local food and neighborhood-gleaning are coming together at Mo's Experimental Cooking Pit Northwest Fusion Extravaganza.  I was up at 4:30 to document the Opening Ceremonies...

Mo dug the pit and started the fire. Yes, he had a permit.

Wood reduced to coal, the coals shoveled out, and the stones arranged for a flattish surface. The sticks are there to create a vent for adding water. The dog is there to worry about the sticks.

Leaves on... we layered fern, big leaf maple, and cedar.

Mo laid down two grates, we added the food. Pig, taro, sweet potato, camas...

More leaves!

Covered all in soaking wet burlap sack and dirt...
