On Thursday after school some men came and dug a hangi pit on our field by the senior playground.
Early on Friday morning they returned to lite the fire. By the time I got to school the fire was roaring and lots of smoke came running out of the hangi pit.
We got to look at the fire and it was explained to us that the wood and iron had to be "white hot!"
Later we went back and they wet the fire and put wet cabbage leaves in, to create steam.
We watched them lower the food in to the pit. There were 3 big baskets.
They put on sacks to cover the food. Then they had to cover the steam areas to make it cook.
3 hours later they got to eat.
