Hey Guys,
Had a traditional Maori hangi a couple yrs ago while on a trip in NZ. One of the best meals I've ever had & been trying to replicate it on the odd occasion ever since. Now I think I've found the simplest way, using an old SS keg, cut a lid on the top, bought a couple SS wire baskets for the food & a big gas ring for heating.
Just put a pinch of wood chips inside on the bottom & fire up the gas ring, smoke the food for 10-15min. Then add about 1.5-2L of water to the bottom, the basket is raised about 5inch from bottom. Then cook away for 2.5-3hrs. in the last hr add bread stuffing & steamed pudding.
Trialling it for the first time this afternoon/evening. Will post up how it goes!
Anyone else on here tried the same or similar? One day when I own enough land, Ill have a go at doing it the traditional way in a big pit. I have tried this a yr ago but didn't get the iron hot enough, fire too small.
