I need help smoking a pig in a pit in the ground. “How to” and “rub” recipes would be helpful.

My party is in March, so I have adequate time to prepare. Is there a book I can buy to tell “how to” or a website with a step-by-step?

In Hawaii that is a very common way to cook a pig, only we use more conventional ways of smoking it now. But we call it Kalua pig. It tastes so wonderful! One of my favorite Hawaiian foods besides Laulau and lomi salmon. I found a website that sorta gives you an idea of what to do, but I found if you google ‘how to make kalua pig’ it gives you a bunch of different websites and ways to make it. Usually we just put Hawaiian salt (or rock salt) and the smoke gives the pig most of the flavor. I hope this link helps some, if you are having a ‘luau’ there are many other recipes if you want me to tell you just email me and I will give you the names of all my favorites or the more common traditional Hawaiian foods.

Kiss the Pig $14.98 Kiss the Pig kicks off with the unmistakable ch-click! of a shotgun being loaded, then, appropriately, starts blasting away. In other words, immediacy is back on Today Is the Day’s docket — where predecessor Sadness Will Prevail was two discs’ worth of rambling experimentation and jagged, raucous soul-filleting shards of ugliness, its follow-up is 36 minutes of TITD mastermind Steve Austin’s nasty, filth-ridden noise metal fury, recalling 1999’s excellent, near-grindcore In the Eyes of God. What hits the listener first and foremost (besides feeling like you’re in the line of fire) are Austin’s unusual engineering choices; Kiss the Pig flies in the face of his top-notch production jobs (especially Lamb of God’s New American Gospel record), the man opting for an effectively raw, lo-fi, frayed-nerves approach that’ll have you reaching for the volume knob. And oddly, it works to his advantage, Austin utilizing his trademark multi-layered screams, rabid-dog guitar riffs, and off-kilter rhythms to accurately convey the blackened guts of his deranged soul. So it’s no surprise to hear schizophrenic, shifting dynamics (“Why They Hate Us,” “This Machine Kills Fascists”), blastbeat bombardment (“Mother’s Ruin”), and sprawling, doom-ridden mantras (lengthy, disturbing finale “Birthright,” which tails off with a startlingly beautiful, morose, and warped acoustic guitar) among this crazed batch of songs from Austin’s brutal militia. As usual, there’s nothing pretty about TITD, which has carved out its own solitary niche somewhere in the neighborhood of hardcore, noise, indie rock, and metal. Although Austin doesn’t necessarily break new ground with Kiss the Pig, it’s still a compelling and typically violent effort — most likely spawned from a potentially lethal combination of disillusionment, anger, hatred, and disgust for the world — which further cements his reputation as one of the underground’s most fascinating artists. ~ John Serba, All Music GuidePerformers: Sla – Guitar, Keyboards, Sampling, Vocals
