Can you dig a hole where you'll be? Just treat the butts like a small

Not
deep...maybe 2 or three inches of soil on top then build a fire on top
of
the ground (over where the butts are buried). If you feel funny about
setting the wrapped butts in the dirt line the bottom of the hole with
tin
foil.

If you're going to go to the trouble of digging a hole, why not make
an oven? Dig the hole and line it with large flat rocks. Build a hot
fire in the hole to heat the rocks. When the fire dies down, add
foil-wrapped butts. Cover with a layer of rocks (preferably heated),
then dirt. Build a fire on top of the "oven."

If you leave the butts unattended overnight, don't come crying to me
if some critter decides to sample them. I once lost a whole chicken to
a skunk that way.

Kevin's right. Hawaiian style. Line a pit with rocks, make a fire and
let
the rocks heat the food. Thing is, the food really ends up steamed rather
than smoked, because you have to wrap the food in foil.


Or banana leaves . . .
