Don’t know how to put this, but a fire pit is used to roast things like cabrito or feral hog, with burning coals put in the pit first (done somewhat as you describe), then the meat, then a cover of dirt.
There wouldn’t be any “fire” aboveground, as such. No flames or much smoke.
Also, here in my city, a guy BBQ’ed parts of his GF out on a regular BBQ pit in an apartment complex, out in the open on his patio - and people smelled it, but just thought it was a little “different” and didn’t report it. No one knew about it for days.
Hi Rte! Good to read you, I think;) Agree with your description of a *deep* fire pit. Flames & smoke can be kept to a minimum - depending on fuel & cover.
Here we go again!
This is a messy case. Much blame on the Marine Corps for a slow, impotent, intra-company rape investigation. Maybe there’s a lot of activity within the Corps that the general public does not hear about and the DOD would prefer did not exist. These are young, sexually active men & women thrown together in close contact, who would just be fired or arrested (Duke Three)on the outside.
I give up!
