Some of my dear friends are leaving Taiwan for their next adventure in life :( but in order to give them a proper send off we had a huge bbq in their honor! In true PNW style it rained almost all day...as in like pouring. Luckily we had giant umbrellas and cover so we managed to stay dry but not clean!
We went to this great place outside of town where they fix you up with a pile of food to be wrapped in newspaper and then placed in a hand made rock oven/pile.
When we arrived we were instructed to gather rocks and dry mud. It started with this.
The food sat in there for two hours and cooked to utter perfection! We had a bbq going all day so the two chickens that came out of our oven was the perfect amount for the 20 of us there. It was a great day. All be it, very rainy but a good way to spend time with good friends!

We then wrapped all the food and got to work building! It was so rainy that we had a hard time getting from the mud/rock/wood site back to our kiln that we were covered in mud by the end of the process!
The final product was this! A large pyramid of rocks with a fire stoking inside.
The rocks would heat up until the were all black and hottttt!
We then broke open the top, dropped all of our food inside and began to shovel like mad. We filled loose dirt and mud on top of it so the mound then looked like this.
