Steam Pit -- Cooking Food and Bending Wood

I've been researching the many uses of a steam pit. That is when you dig a hole in the ground, line it with large rocks, build a hot fire in the pit to completely heat the rocks lining the pit, rake out the ashes and coals, put lots of green and non-toxic leaf matter on the hot stones, put the meat or wood piece to be steamed (one hour per inch of wood) and softened on top of the leaves, put more green leaves on top of the meat or wood, cover the pit with the original soil and leave for a couple of hours while the steam does it's job. Whew!
Anyone ever use a steam pit?
