Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
fergs' coming with me and we should be there for lunchtime. Will bring a spade and fork as the estate boot is cavernous! meat sounds fun especially as I have bought a Grandad's fork since our last get together. Tipple wise it will be ales or rum depending on what I fancy when perusing the supermarket shelves!
Sounds like I will be the last one there, was unable to get afternoon off so probably won't get there while 6
Looking forward to this. Never done a pit oven before but seen it done, should be good with a selection of meats/veggies. There isn't any moss to use as a cover before putting soil on top but I'm thinking we could use one/couple of the large logs that have been felled to cover/plug hole and the put soil round it for sealing heat in.
...bloody hell I'm starting to drool thinking of the been now lol
I sat and watched uncle Ray cook a rabbit in one on Youtube last night and was salivating watching it. Yes i was wondering what to cover it with too, im sure the woods will provide something. Are we doing this on Friday or Saturday night?
You'll love his Venison pit then
(I'll be brining a leg of Vension to next meet)Will most likely be Friday night bud. Don't think I could keep a joint of Beef with me without thinking about it every other minute lol

If any of the wild garlic is still there, could use their leaves to layer before the soil
That's a good idea however I doubt there will be any there now. Could be wrong though as I have never seen as much as I did at last meet. I'm really hoping it's all gone as I like to see the woodland floor. Will make it much easier to find the stones we need as well.
Will you have it going before I get there at 6? I just didn't want to bring a joint of meat for it to be too late to go in.
I'm not sure bud, Should be ready to put meat in around 6ish. Just depends on how hungry people are as we need to heat rocks for 1-2 hours and then cook meat for couple of hours. I wouldn't worry though, If you miss out on pit I have a squirrel cooker at camp you can use to skewer meat and roast over fire? I've done that a few times, comes out nice.
How about both?
Indeed. No reason why we cant use it both nights
I'm thinking of joint of beef on Friday then Ribeye's cooked on rocks on Saturday.
Grabbed a leg of lamb, some chicken, tatties and other veg... couple of loaves of bread, bottle of rum, some beer and some Polish gravy (2 types depending on your taste)... bacon, eggs, black pudding, white pudding and tatty cakes... don't think any of us are going to starve, lets put it that way
Couldn't find a spade, so packed the fold away and a large shovel. Also packed the fireman's gloves.. always come in useful those things.
