It would be awesome if I could be put in contact with someone who would be willing to come out and pass on some knowledge. We would of course happily invite whoever comes out to plenty of beers, yarns, and of course kai.
Location will be in Christchurch next friday.
Cheers

pleased someone down there has offered to lend a hand - but its all the things you will need -where to get those ?? 1) decent fire wood kanuka is best but aussie hardwood also okay - pine macrocarpara useless you must have a firewood that gives really good heat -2) baskets for the food to cook in 3) sacks for covering the pit -3) hangi stones they need to be the right kind - I have seen small blocks of rail iron used -- there is a lot of preparation - but stones and firewood the two key things - as a suggestion you could try an Argentina style pit BBQ ( google photos ) much easier as you only need a fire pit and steel frame to put the meat on - fire wood not quite so critical as you can have a fire next to your BBQ pit and just replenish your hot embers every now and then
