I don't know, Angel doesn't look like he has a lot inra muscular fat.. so Guga would need to coat him in some tallow. ..so Angel, if he comes to the studio with a barrel of wagu tallow. Take a few weeks off and RUN.

Part of the problem here is the ground was wet, I am almost positive that the bad flavor undertones you were tasting was the water vapor from the hole misting the meat while cooking. When this gets done in Hawaii they are up away from the water so the sand is much much dryer. When we cook things in the ground here in the west it's never in wet clay. This is probably an impossible task for Florida due to the amount of rain and moisture retained in the soil. I would suggest that if you want to try this again with something like a large turkey or a whole pig, that you prepare the hole days and days in advance allowing it to dry out. Then you place the meat in the hole and top it with a piece of tin (plywood might be ok if it's a low and slow cook). Your comparison should be to something roasted in an oven because smoking is a flavor adder so it was always going to taste better, especially to folks who love that smokey flavor.

Hey Guga, for underground cooking, it is a traditional Bedouin (Arab) way of cooking in the desert. Sand is better than soil. However, it does not need 24 hrs, get the wood to cook down to coal, you need low heat. wrap whatever meat (usually its a full sheep) with banana leaves or even seaweed works. 8-12 hours should be more than enough. Search up how to cook a dish called Mandi, and it will all make sense.

Try using dry sand to cover the meat next time. Damp soil can seep some undesired flavours into the meat. In Finland we have this thing called "rosvopaisti" or harshly translated "robber's roast". Usually we use lamb but any meat is fine. Instead of just making a fire straight to the bottom of the pit we layer stones onto the bottom, and we wrap the meat im grease proof paper, then in tin foil and lastly we wrap newspaper over the whole thing to minimize contant with earth. The ground tends to gather moisture after piling it onto the meat so we take the embers out after burning a huge fire for 3-4 hours, place the meat onto the hot stones, cover it with preferably dry sand and place the embers over it. Then we keep the fire going until the meat is done (About 1,5 hours per kilogram of meat). One of the best ways to cook with the guys in the summer. You can just sit around a fire, crack open a cold one and when someone comes asking what are you doing, you can just say that "we are cooking".

Also I think traditionally in most cultures where you would cook meat underground they would use clay and covered the meat in leaves like grape leaves or banana leaves, it is indeed a hassle if you cook it in foil since it is layered and aluminum is fragile so digging it out with a shovel you encounter the chance of ripping the foil and letting dirt or ash in, so it is gonna be extremely hard but if you use clay you can easily take it out without having to worry about breaking it since during the process of its cooking time the clay is baked along with the meat plus it retains all the steam and juices inside tightly and once its done you can just crack it open with a hammer or a rock and remove the leaves and dig in

In Finland we call this method a thieves roast, you should add bricks or stones in to the firepit witch on top you start the fire and should hold the fire for 3-4 hours. After that you scrape the coal out of the hot pit and its ready for the meat. The meat it self is wrapped in wet parchment paper and foil and extra layers of wet newspaper and more foil. Throw the meat in the pit and cover it. Pour the coal back on top and light another fire witch should be kept for an hour or two. Good rule of thumb is 1,5 hours for each kg of meat in the pit. Usually we cook lamb or pork with this method but anything goes.

Hello Guga. As a resident of Hawaii I am hoping you can find someone from Hawaii with experience to do what is called an "Imu" in Hawaiian culture. Its a method of underground cooking which involves banana leaves and stocks. This is the process by which most pigs are cooked for a Luau and I'm curious how it would affect brisket (and possibly other meats). Either way I love the content you put out, keep it up you legend.

Hey Guga, I’m from a small island at the bottom of the global called New Zealand! Us natives down here have a tradition called a “Hangi” where we cook our food in the ground. We use river rocks heated so hot and placed on the bottom of the pit, then we place the food in metal basket on top of the hot rocks and on top of the food we use wet sheets and then the dirt on top. The wet sheets protect the food from the dirt and also helps steam the food. We cook it under ground for many hours and the food is sooo good when it’s done. Love your content bro!!

Usually the time to cook varies depending on the cut of meat and the animal. This is more of a modern native Hawaiian way of cooking. Hope this gets to you!

Compare to the Cypriot recipe ‘lamb kleftico’ or lamb thieve’s style. The stolen lamb is hidden by burying it in coals, but instead of foil is protected by lots of fresh rosemary and bay laurel. Cajun hunting camps often make an oven out of cinder blocks and scrap metal. Put le couchon inside, make a fire on top and dinner cooks while you hunt/fish.

Hey Guga. I am a Maori from New Zealand. In our culture, The Hangi or ground oven is a type of traditional food we have at Funerals (Tangi), wedding or gatherings. What we do is put all the food you want to cook into a cooking basket, then dig a decent sized hole big enough to have the top of what ever you're cooking at ground level. Fill the hole with wood, we use manuka. Also grab a few longer pieces and soak them as well as a good amount of muslin/cheese cloth to use later. On top of the wood place heat absorbing rocks or irons. Make sure there's enough wood to heat your rocks or irons to a good hot temp. Light the wood and let it burn down till there are only the irons and embers left at the bottom. Now lay a few rows of your water logged wood across the top of your heat source. Not put your basket/s into the hole making sure they are sitting on the waterlogged timber. Now get your muslin/cheese cloth and wring them put and lay over your basket/s. After you have done that refill the hole and cover the food with the dirt. You should leave in the ground for 3-4 hours. While cooking make sure any vents of steam being created are covered up to keep the heat and pressure in the food cooking area. Great video guys and keep up the work.

Guga: Has wireless thermometers Also guga: how are you going to know when it's cooked underground?!

Also, for time and temp in a buried pit cook, maybe your wireless thermometers would work. You'd probably have to have one end sticking out. Otherwise, a wired oven thermometer would do the job. Just make sure you pierce the foil before you bury it, to ensure you don't escort dirt or ash into the meat.

Here in México that's the way you do Cochinita pibil and barbacoa the traditional way. In Yucatan they are called "pib", and the technique has been used for millennia.

For a better example of under ground ovens, watch videos on how the Hawaiians/Polynesians used them to cook all their food. If my family threw in a brisket like then in one of their Ground ovens, or what we call Imu… it would’ve been a HIT at the party. We’re simple, Hawaiian rock salt is all we use to season. Check it out! And I urge you to try it that way.

Back in 1972, I had the privilege to get to know the only Samoan Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps who was from Pago Pago; and, as I understood it, one of its chiefs, as well. On the weekends when I could get away from Pendleton, he would take me to his home in San Diego to teach several of his younger sons karate (I was a Shodan back then). He lived in a huuuge ranch-style house, and had 15 kids! All but a handful still lived at home! Anyway, the luau. Several of his sons took me out to the boulder jetties to hunt abalone (another story), and stop off at the market to pick up these large banana leaves, along with several dozen burlap bags. So, they had dug this pit about two feet wide, by five feet long, and about three feet deep. They had already gathered large river rock to line the bottom and lower sides of the pit, and built a fire within that, which had been burning for about two days. They had a whole, 125-lb. pig, about 15 whole chickens, forty long shish kabobs, all kinds of vegetables, and plantains. Wet burlap bags were placed on top of the very hot stones - which really began to steam up - then a layer of banana leaves, then the pig, then more leaves/burlap/leaves, then several inches of dirt, then leaves/burlap/leaves/dirt, then the shish kabobs . . . and this was repeated until the whole pit had been filled. They had also placed a pipe in one corner of the pit to vent steam. I believe it took about 13 hours to cook, into the next day. When it was unwrapped, I was amazed at how perfectly each layer was cooked. The oink was so tender, it was unbelievable.

Under-soil cooking requires few key points to be confirmed before cooking : - Has to be infertile soil. - Soil has to be almost close as dry. - Has to be floodplain soil so that bad odor does not gather. - If the land is big, select an area and isolate it by digging some soil out from the outer-side of the cooking land/area (processing area). - Absolutely make sure there are no shrubs, trees or any sort of plant based life forms living or surviving in your cooking area. - Put some Charcoal and burnt log above the ground also after burying it.

It works ALOT better if you line your pit with brick, block, or stone, 360° all around and on the bottom. Along with a big cast iron or aluminium lid (Can get one online). Your pit should be in the shape of a cylinder on it's side so the heat gets distributed evenly. Ours was around 2 1/2 - 3 feet wide and about 2 1/2 - 3 feet deep. You don't keep the lip of your pit ground level but about 6 inches below ground level. You out your kid on, then hurry that in a mound of dirt. You can wet the mound periodically but you don't want the actual ground your pit sits in to be wet. Desert climates such as the one I live in(New Mexico) are great for this due to the hard, dry, heavy clay soil. We used to have a bon fire in the pit the night before Thanksgiving. We would drink a case of bear and watch the fire. When the fire turns to coal, we would throw in our turkey and the neighbors turkey, along with a pot of beans and Mac n Cheese casserole. The meat falls off the bones and the sides come out perfectly! This is literally part of our Southwest Hispano culture and tradition. Can't forget the Hatch New Mexico Red and Green Chile. 🔥

In Hawai’i we often cook underground, as been mentioned before. The real skill is the placement of the food over the hot rocks, and leaves as a skilled imu cooker can read the spots in the imu is hotter and stacks the foods in the appropriate area. Although cooking in the ground may seem to be rudimentary, as with other cooking methods, it takes skills and understanding of technique and temperature control. You really cannot just make a hole in the ground, put in coals and expect a good result, as you proved.

In Finland we call this robber's roast. From Wikipedia: Rosvopaisti (Finnish lit. “robber’s roast”) is roast meat cooked in a cooking pit. It is said to have Mongolian origins and to have become generally known through Veikko Huovinen’s novel Lampaansyöjät (The Lamb Eaters). Rosvopaisti can be made with almost any meat: lamb, mutton, pork, bear, reindeer, elk etc. The pit, preferably soil of sand or clay, is about one metre long, 70 cm wide and a half metre deep where stones or bricks are heated up for several hours. The meat is wrapped in layers of dampened parchment paper, newspaper and aluminium foil. The coals are pushed aside and placed upon the meat parcel(s) at the bottom of the pit. Then the coals are covered with another layer of soil. A fire is started on top of the meat on the ground to ensure proper temperature. It takes approximately between 8 and 12 hours to cook the roast. I personally use chicken wire instead of aluminium foil. First wrap the meat with dampened parchment paper, then a layer of newspaper and finally tighthen the package with chicken wire. Keeping a small fire on top the pit is crucial because it pulls heat from the ground. This way the pit temperature is contained to optimal range.

​@@michaeltellurian825 For pork it is roughly 1.5 hours and for beef it is around 2.5 hours per kilogram (2.2 lbs). And to correct myself, I use aluminium foil. So the layers go like this, damp parchment paper, aluminium foil, newspaper and chicken wire. Before you put the package in the pit, you dunk it in a bucket of water to make the newspaper wet. This will even the heat so that there is no hotspots.

In Mexico they do this with whole lamb, but very dry soil is a must.. They also wrap the meat up with maguey leaves which leaves an awesome bbq smoke flavor.. It’s more complex than it seems

Guga, uma dica de vídeo! Fazer CUPIM defumado da mesma forma que é feita a brisket americana! Eu já defumei cupim em casa (smoker improvisada na churrasqueira comum, mas dá o smoke ring vermelho e sabor) e ficou sensacional, e olha que foi uma defumadinha rápida com lenha de eucalipto, depois assei por menos de 3 horas pq comecei tarde, fazendo no padrão acho que seria absurdo!

With the coals in the pit, I'd cut the brisket in 2-inch thick pieces and let it cook that way for about 4 hours. Here in Greece we kinda do it in reverse, that is cook it with a fire on top outside the pit. You cut the meat in pieces (usually lamb) and put it in the belly of the animal (wash belly very well first and soak in vinegar or lemon water for a while before filling), throw in salt, pepper, lemon pieces and oregano and then sow or tie the belly closed. You dig a pit and put the belly in sowed side up with about 2-4 inches of soil on top, not more. Then you light a campfire on the soil above the buried belly and maintain the fire for about 3 hours and it's done.

Wireless thermometer would've been fine to use, or a long wired one!

My family is from Chile, I was born there raised in Canada, and most my child hood we cooked in the ground for large slabs of meat, we’ve used everything from banana leaves to cabbage leafs to oak leafs.

Qué rico el curanto. I'm from a town in Argentina near the border with Chile and we have curanto too. Delicious.

In Finland there is a cousine called "Rosvopaisti" which translates in to "Thiefs/Bandits roast". Its cooked underground with coals top of the meat and wrapped in foil, and wet newspaper. Before you even cook the meat you need to burn a fire in the hole couple of hours and after that put the meat in, then put the coals top of the meat, fill the hole and meat with sand and then make a fire on top of the whole thing and keep it there couple of hours.

When cooking in the ground.. You go deeper, put rocks in with the coals to get nice and hot, then place the meat on a damp hession sack and then put several additional sacks on top. This allows for smoke from the coals to surround the meat and the heat is retained by the stones. The three sacks on top stop the dirt from contaminating the meat and you still get a nice smoke ring. We have even placed pieces of railway line (steel) in the hole on either side on top of the rocks to provide a nice rectangle hole and prevent the sacks from collapsing. You can also just do this above ground on coals and stones by wrapping meat in banana leaves, then heaping several dozen banana leaves and sacks on top. Once again this allows for the meat to smoke and then as the heat slos the meat will braise in it's own juices.

I have no idea how to get it right...but there are a great many cultures that use similar methods to cook a variety of large cuts of meats. My suggestion would be to look them up and see what it is they do...and then just tinker until you get it. If you want to. They mostly do it for the sake of tradition, and for tourists. In your case, you're probably just better off using more conventional methods. I'm sure the more exotic options produce some pretty stellar results when done right, but if you've got the tools, use the tools.

When I was in boy-scouts we cooked ground beef with corn, onion, and carrots this way, it came out amazing. I recommend adding some veggies, wagyu fat, and then flame throwing it after.

we have a similar type of cooking in Finland called "rosvopaisti". you first have a fire on the ground to warm it up and evaporate the moisture, then you move the fire and dig a hole. Then you wrap the meat in rhubarb leaves and or wet newspaper and foil. then you put the meat in the hole, cover it up and put a fire on top for like 4-8 hours and its done.

You guys should do the testing part together more often, I love the dynamic between the three!

24hrs underground on charcoal is the first problem but awesome experiment. In Polynesian countries we use hot river or lava rocks to cook our Umu, Imu, Hangi, Lovo etc. Some of our countries put the food straight on the rocks and cover with banana leaves etc whilst others put the banana tree trunks splintered and leaves on the rocks to provide steam, flavour and burn proof the food before adding the foods on. Cooking time is normally 1-12hrs depending on the food, heat of rocks etc. Love your experiments Guga.

This would be called a hangi in New Zealand. They'd use stones for a part of the heat retention, would be wrapped in leaves, so you get some of the smokiness.

Use the underground brisket in a pot with some unions, beans and tomato sauce with some nice herbs. It can still be saved. Way better than my first brisket, my first was hard and tough as a rock.

Best thing to do is line the pit with something like banana leaves & use a fire to heat rocks or cut up pieces of railway tracks about 6-8" long. They hold the heat far better than just coals. Once your pit is well lined with banana leaves you put the rocks or red hot steel into the pit, layer some more banana leaves over the rocks/steel, cover with more leaves then bury it & cook for 6-8 hours. The leaves provide moisture & keep the meat away from the dirt.

In New Zealand we cook underground in a hangi. We dig a deeper hole, and heat up stones. We always have vegetables and steam comes from leaves. Lots of cheesecloth. Then sacking. Then covered in dirt and steamed for 5 to 6 hours. Delicious

That is kind of traditioanl Chinese cuisine"叫化雞". This cook way invented by homeless people in China. However, they would not cook that for 24hr. The period of cook would be 1 to 3 hr. In Taiwan, we had similar way which is called clay-baked"炕窯". In old time, It's always take on spring or autumn after the field is take a rest. We put every food you want and cook for 1 to 3 hr. Therefore, please try to do that in 3hr. It should be so tender and juicy. In addition, I think you still need to do the sealing process after cook by this way. Looking forward your new video. 😆

I would have liked to see it cooked the same way on both pieces of meat. So al the junk you added to the underground one should have been added to other one. Really it wasn't that fair of a comparison. But, as mentioned in other videos, a wired thermometer probably could get you a read out. One in the meat, one outside to judge hole temp. Would like to see more though

I keep hearing the garden tool word instead of hole. It made this way too comical.🥴🤣

I’ve heard about cooking a beef half in clay underground. The clay hardens and keeps the moisture in. I’ve always wanted to try it for myself.

Love your channel, but I have to disagree with you on this one. I've grown up cooking in underground ovens. And I actually prefer it. I guess to each their own. Thanks for the great video tho. Keep them coming and stay safe my friend. 👍

you should go to a volcanic area and actually cook with the ground

When I’ve cooked under ground I don’t directly place the meat on the dirt as it first of all tends to absorb the earthy tones. I lay a Base of large rocks that create the base and then run a wall of rocks up the side 2/3rds high. Your ground was also too wet, the hole needed to be dug and then dried out for a couple days at least before cooking in it. I have a dedicated pit in my yard that’s used for cooking in the ground. Get the coals going good and hot and After all then you place your seasoned meat wrapped in tinfoil in the ground followed by chunks of wood. Usually hickory for me, cover it with the dirt but done pack it down. After a while you can get a gauge of how long to cook, you can use a infrared thermometer or gauge how hot the ground if you want.

Guga has multiple. I don't know why he didn't use that tbh.

You have to use dry ground first. The hole needs to be deeper for heat retention and even distribution. You need to put heat rocks in between the coals and the coals need to be HOT!! Use a Bluetooth thermometer to check doneness.

In Fiji we use hot stones to cover the entire food all around, not coals and dirt straight on the meat. Next time try and set the bed with rocks, add the embers/coal until the stones heat up, then cover the food with hot stones and seal with earth to cook

Not a good comparison when you have different seasoning/flavors to each one. The wagyu fat and or the red wine could have made the ground one not be as good.
