Lightning the fire
When we lit the fire we used newspaper and toilet rolls. We put them in the hole that we dug before it. Then we stacked wood pellets over the hole. In between the pellets we put irons. We lit the fire from the bottom and then we looked after it. The pellets will start to turn to ash so we stack more pellets on until there's none left. The irons will have fallen through. When it is done we scoop all the ash out and use the irons to cook the food for the hangi.

ReplyDeleteGreat instructions! I would have loved to see some photos or even a drawing that would be cool. What are the irons Noah? Do you mean the tools to lift the hot stones with? How long do you think you need to get the fire going before putting the kai into the hangi pit? There's quite a bit of planning to do beforehand isn't there. ;)
