Oh, yes. I have...and there is nothing like it....I'm an old Southern Boy (NC) and I grew up watchin' the menfolk in my family do it Southern style...in the ground with a corrugated metal roof over it...sitting up all night, drinkin beer in lawn chairs, basting occasionally...and so it's not such a far reach for me to do it Hawaiian style...but when I lived in Maui I found out I love Kalua pig...but the thing with Hawaiian style is that you cover it all up and take it out hours later...much easier, but it lacks the festive, drunken, party atmostphere that is necessary while cooking it Southern style...only afterwards do you party with a lu'au pig...Grey
