    Whole pig marinades

    Hey Mark, happy to help! I've got 6 pigs lined up in the next 6 weeks, so I'm kinda "in the mode" LOL First thing I'd recommend is to skip marinading and inject your juice or mojo ingredients directly into the pig. It can be difficult to get that awesome crispy skin, once it's been soaked in...

    Caja China style boxes and smoking, check it out!

    The debate is about to be laid to rest, lol... This model will be released shorty, and I'll be getting mine even more shortly. Review coming very soon! (These pics were taken during testing, before the smoke stack and firebox were combined.)

    La Caja China owners.

    I wouldn't recommend that. These boxes (I own several) are designed in such a way that the only place any significant heat is coming in direct contact with the lining is at the lip, where the coal pan rests, and that's triple layers of metal with air-space between to diffuse the heat.

    The aPORKalypse Sandwich

    I can tell you, from personal experience, that sometimes the title comes first. A single line so compelling that you know…you know…that there’s a story worth writing, hidden within. The same can happen, apparently, with barbecue. A few months ago, a Facebook friend of mine used the word...
