That's not a BBQ, THIS is a BBQ!

The Hawaiian imu is an underground pit oven. The most traditional dish is 鈥榢alua pig鈥�: a whole pig. A lot of Hawaiians have an imu in their backyard and is a cross between oven roasting, steaming and slow-cooking鈥� with a touch of barbecue thrown in. It takes a long time to prepare and is hard work but most Hawaiians think it鈥檚 worth it!
