Foil cooking is great and easy to do - but I wouldn't recommend digging a hole in the ground, even in established rings. Why? There can be roots below and if these catch on fire you can start a fire in a tree - even fire away. Those fires can smolder for days before taking off.

But you do foil cooking where you have a layer of coals, the wrapped food, then more hot coals smile
