Labor day, we may have to cook a 700-800 pound steer. Intial thought was to put it on a spit like ou see on the western movies. But, that will take a lot of time and a lot of wood to make coals. And in 90+ degree weather, some one would have to keep a fire going, shovel coals, and stand by the thing to turn it for hours. Someone suggested putting it in a pit like you do a whole hog. HAs anyone ever v cooked a beef that way?
