Cooking Underground

[LadyLocust]

This came to mind in another thread and it got me to thinking
Has anyone here done any underground cooking? If so can you share some tips and tricks?

I’m thinking I might need to find a shovel and a few rocks and give it a go. I will probably use a Dutch oven. Will have to see what I come up with.
I tried looking for a “recipe book” for such things but came up dry. Might have to create my own

Even Gordon Ramsey cooked in a pit. I've only heard about the method.

I will have to watch that during the day

When I was a kid we cooked a beef underground. I don't remember much other than digging a hole with a backhoe. Then building a fire in the hole for a couple days. Burlap bags were soaked in water then wrapped the beef and buried in the coals and covered with dirt. It was fantastic.
