Kelli: 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?
I also need marinate or rub recipe ideas.
Thank you.

hi maybe you can get something here
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.
