Hi everyone,  
 
I’m looking for someone who cooks beef in a pit. I thought there was someone around Justice, MB who did it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

ask wally...post office in justice

When I lived up that way, it was done for Canada Day at the community center (the old Justice School). The RM would dig a deep hole, and a half dozen or so of the locals would burn old shipping pallets in the hole for the afternoon. As it was hot work, ample amounts of beer would be consumed by the participants to ward off the heat. Towards the late afternoon, the roasts, liberally peppered, and wrapped in burlap that was watered down, would be suspended in the hole and everything buried. Seems to me the cooking time was somewhere around 18 to 24 hours. The Beef would be extremely tender.  
 
I left a decade or so ago, and have no idea if the tradition continues.

so are we allowed to do this in our backyard? like not a huge hole, but something to book underground?

Not sure if what you are looking for but our town did an event where we had pitchfork fondue come out. It went over well. Think they are from Winnipeg

I think B. Wakefield does pork in a pit. Not sure about beef.
