Whole Kahlua Pig Roasted In A Sand Enclosed Oven For A Luau Recipe | Robert Irvine | Food Network

Ingredients

• Shovels, as needed
• 15 cubic feet Lava river rocks (lava rocks are porous) to be pre-heated
• 1/2 cord wood
• 6 to 8 sheet metal panels measuring approximately 4 feet square (these will retain the heat without being consumed by the fire)
• Metal fire tongs to move rocks, panels, wood
• Fire mitts to protect your hands from the heat
• Safety goggles and protective gear for your body
• A large bunch of ti leaves bound together to be used as a "brush" to remove ash from the rocks
• 15 feet of 4 foot high heavy gauge chicken wire temporarily affixed to the platform part of the stretcher to hold the pig closed after adding the rocks to the carcass
• 14 gauge wire as needed to secure the chicken wire
• Wire cutters
• 1 entire head-on pig carcass, innards removed
• Banana "stumps" to place between the pig meat and the hot coals to prevent the flesh from burning
• Another large bunch of ti leaves, hard stalks snapped out, to be used like aluminum foil to steam the pig
