how to make a hangi

1: Gather volcanic stones for the hangi to make hangi for 25
people you will need enough volcanic stones to fill up a 1
meter hole around 0.5 meters deep stones that aren’t volcanic
stones will crack and explode if you heat them up heated


2: Collect pieces of hardwood for the hangi Wood for a hangi
must be untreated you will need 45 pieces that is 1 meter long
and 5-8 cm wide slow burning wood like mānuka or
macrocarpa works good


3: Get 3 food baskets Food baskets for hangi are usually wire
trays but they can be made out of a lot of different things
Baskets that are made from small chicken mesh or welded
perforated steel containers are things that are used


4: Dig the hole slightly bigger that the stacked food baskets.
200-300 millimeters deeper and 200 millimeters wider The
hole will need to be slightly larger than the food baskets when
they are stacked so there is enough room for sacks to be
placed on the sides which will protect the food from the embers
and dirt


5: Pile the wood and volcanic stones on the ground to make a
fire stack There is no order that you need to stack the wood
and stones all that matters is that there is enough room
beneath the stack to start a fire and that the stones are evenly
palest throughout the stack The fire stack should be put next to
the pit so it is easy to move the volcanic stones

6: Light the wood in the fire stack in 3-4 places Light a match and set alight 3-4 corners of the fire stack If the wood doesn't
show flames immediately, blow gently on the smouldering area
to help it along
