    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.)

    One warning about roasting a whole pig, brisket, or just about anything in La Caja China….for the last forty-five minutes of cook time, there’s an ever-expanding cloud of mouth-watering aroma outside the box. This will gather friends, family, and neighbors you’ve never met, in seagull-like...

    How to smoke briskets in La Caja China

    One of the facts that is often bemoaned (incorrectly) about cooking with La Caja China is that it's hard to get an authentic smoked flavor with it. There is an electric "smoke pistol" that can be purchased, along with special pellet canisters and attached to the unit (after drilling a hole...

    Pulled Pork Tamales with Southwestern Béarnaise Sauce

    This idea just popped into my head a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to shake it. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore and went shopping. I smoked my pork shoulder the day before in my La Caja China #3, using apple wood. Turned out…very nice. Slow Smoked Pork Shoulder 7 lb. boneless...

    Brisket Stuffed Poblano Peppers

    Hey all, Here’s one of my favorite side-dishes to grill over the coals while my whole pig, briskets, or pork shoulders are roasting inside my La Caja China (or to just grill over coals, if I don't feel like cookin' a whole anthing, lol.)

    Hello from Oregon!

    Hey everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Perry P. Perkins, a freelance writer, work-from-home dad, and bbq fan.

    Need a favor...

    Heyya Smokies, I'm trying to win a new La Caja China in the current, "King of Pork" contest (and I'm in the lead!) Thing is, I don't have room for another roasting box, so when this thing arrives (assuming I win one of the three) I'm going to give it away to someone on my Facebook list. No...
