we did a barbado years ago in Golthwaite, Tx

worked fine, came out more steamed than bbq'd though

wrapped meat in tinfoil then a wet towsack and buried w coals over and under it and covered w light layerer of soil and rocks as i recall

was more trouble than it's worth, but looked pretty cool

Coastal's right, it will come out more steamed. We use to do pigs and goats years ago when I was alot younger and we had partys at the lake on the weekends. They turned out good and not many leftovers even with a bunch a drunks.

I'm sure we turned and sopped it a few times. I do remember we had a danged good BBQ.
