I tried researching this a couple of years ago, with not too much luck. No one else's videos were as informative as yours is, Joe. Had this video existed in 2010, I'd probably already own a La Caja China!
You know Dan, I thought the same thing. There is even a video out there with Bobby Flay and it is not very informative about the product. Just doing my incredibly small part to show off what I think is a cool addition to the cooking arsenal. Thanks for watching.
Never heard of a LA Caja China, Joe I have heard of roasted Pig. Love that marinade.... the fruit juice and garlic injected into the piggy, WOW. Looked pretty darn good.
Hi Hey, thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I wanted to include the cleaning tips, as no other video gets into that and it is quite a chore the first time you have to do. Have a great day!
Greetings Christopher, thank you for checking this out. It looked that all the videos posted about the La Caja China, of which there are too few, none have dealt with cleaning. Have a great Christmas!
those boxes look amazing I've been wanting one(along with a lot of other thing too). on their website, they have a smoke gun accessory. I loved when the mom said to her son "that's what real food looks like"! awesome pig Joe, you rock.
Hey Michael, thanks for taking a look. I have seen the smoker attachment, though I am not sure how well it would work as I have not seen anything posted anywhere as to its effectiveness. The taste of the roasted pork was a big hit though.
Greetings Kirk, thank you for watching the show. You got it, there is some darn good stuff on that skull which too many people let go to waste. Cheers.
Man, I wish I was there to join in on the pig roast. That whole pig looked phenomenal Joe. I gotta get one of those roasters from La Caja China. If you are able to make it to Austin in January, we will definitely have a pool party and roast a pig in your honor brother! Thanks for the shout out!
We thought that you would enjoy the roasting of the hog, a very cool way to cook one for sure. So far it looks like we will be in the Dallas / Fort Worth area right after the start of 2015 - we will be sure to have updates. As you know, we like to travel to where the food is awesome!
fire in the..........fire on the .........uh....fire on the box! Amazing ! I didn't know la caja china would do a pig in only 4 hours! Just excellent Rock On Tango Joe!
Hye RootBoy - Fire On The Box is right. The 4 to 4 1/2 hour cook time is what sold me on this in the first place and I can say it is pretty much spot on. The only thing that makes a difference is who long it takes to crisp up that skin after the turn. Damn that skin was like crack candy!
Thanks for the cleaning tip about leaving the fat to solidify! Any thing else I should know regarding clean up? Cooking our first pig on the 4th of July. Thanks for the great instructional.
Greetings Al. Bravo on your first pig roast, your guests are going to dig the show and the food. After removing the solid fats all you need to do is use warm soapy water to clean the box, then fully rinse it. Have a great Holiday Weekend, let me know how your whole hog turns out.
Ahh cool video! We call those Cajun Microwaves down here Joe, and they work fantastic! One of the Frog Bone guys I know, makes them. The whole hog looked fantastic, and I know that Cajun rubs was excellent on it!
hey joe, thanx so much for the shoutout, from the look of the head, i aint the only one that likes em,,,have looked at those boxes several times online, guess they really do work, pig looked great guy,,,hope u saved some of the cheeks for another popper vid---hope u got ur package today all safe and sound, add some horseradish wit that ketchup an make u some mean cocktail sauce----y'all have a great weekend
Right on Keith - porky's got some good eats on that skull. I can tell you, this box really does what it says, though most of the videos online leave a lot to be desired. Yes, the package arrives yesterday, was going to give you a thanks on FB. Hoping to do a popper vid this weekend as well. Tell Terry we say hello.
Oh wow Joe , now I have never seen this done before and to me, that's so impressive. I mean you're impressive to say the least, but that sure is amazing. Good job my friend and that crackling sounds so good LOL I miss that part.
HiYa Angie! Well, I am glad that I could be the first one to show you the joys of roasting a whole hog. It is fun to do, and watching the guests ooh and ahh when it is time to carve it us is very enjoyable. Thank you for coming over for a look see.
GREAT video Joe! What a cool BBQ box never seen one before. It did that pig up good! Pig looked great and I would've loved to try some of that crispy skin! Btw you have a great voice for Videos, Tv and Radio lol! Thanks a lot and take care! :D
Thank you very much Kelly. When I first saw this box in a video I was hooked, and it works great. The skin was intense! Hehe, perhaps I should do books on tape cuz I have the face for radio...
TJ great video! I researched for videos too, you hit the ground running with this brother! Very nice, however it's strange, yours was the first video to pop up, from 4 years ago, you da man! The Caja China can be intimidating to some. But you got the bases covered!!
Thank you John. The Caja China is great addition to the back yard cooking arsenal. I was always surprising there were not more videos out there. Glad you found this one. Have a great week.
Hey Gary, thanks for stopping by. Depending on the area, sometimes a whole pig can seem a bit pricy, especially these days. It was worth it though, makes for an awesome meal and a good show for the guests.
I have 2 of these boxes. You need the larger Box, Box #2. You have Box # 1 for pigs under 70lbs. That pig you had was over 70 lbs for sure and almost didn’t fit in the box. No way was it completely done in 3 hours.
The pig we purchased for this cook back in 2014 was just about 70 lbs if I can remember that far back. It was a tight fit, but cooked up real nice in the four hours they recommended. We did flip it at about the 3 to 3.5 hour mark. Still using this after nine years, a great product. Thanks for checking it out.
Ahh *WOW*!! That's one badass pig cooker for a badass dude.. Loved the video brother, you makin me hungry now! BTW, I see a pbc behind you, (PitBarrelCooker). Do you have any reviews on it or thoughts? I really been thinking about getting one. Either that or starting with the smokenator for my weber. Any preference on your part? Thanks, and as always, Cheers bud!
Hey Chad, have to say that the Caja China is a great cooker. Being able to roast an entire pig in less than 5 hours is where it's at. The other stuff I have is going to eventually get a review on video. The smokenator is a cool item for the kettle, though to start off you can use some bricks to line off one portion of the kettle for a low & slow indirect cook. The PBC is very cool, been getting the hang of that one. Def worth the $$. Also look into a WSM - fantastic cooker.

That was awesome Joe! You must have had an army there to eat all that pork.
Thanks Tom - once the box is fired up the entire block seems to find their way down here for dinner.
Never heard of a LA Caja China, Joe I have heard of roasted Pig. Love that marinade.... the fruit juice and garlic injected into the piggy, WOW. Looked pretty darn good.
Wish I had the space for one of those.
Thanks Chef, this was a fun and tasty cook.
We do enjoy cooking on the La Caja China!
As a firestarter same bound style charcoals but ball up paper towels soaked in vegi or corn oil. Nice pig dude. From us Miamians.
Thanks for the view and the head's up on the fire starter.
Hoping to pull out the Caja China for Thanksgiving and will give that a try.
Great one man flip! I know I will do the same flip! I am not going to share my first flip with anyone!
Awesome vid Tango Joe. Enjoyed it much. Appreciate the "cleaning aspect" section at the end.
Hi Hey, thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
I wanted to include the cleaning tips, as no other video gets into that and it is quite a chore the first time you have to do.
Have a great day!
Thanks for taking the time to show us how you clean it and all the parts you get. Very informative!!!!
Greetings Christopher, thank you for checking this out.
It looked that all the videos posted about the La Caja China, of which there are too few, none have dealt with cleaning.
Have a great Christmas!
Excellent video my friend! great looking pig and you explained to cooker so well!
Hey Joe, thanks for stopping in.
The pig came out real well, the Cajun Rub makes it dang tasty.
Glad you enjoyed the run down of the La Caja China.
those boxes look amazing I've been wanting one(along with a lot of other thing too). on their website, they have a smoke gun accessory. I loved when the mom said to her son "that's what real food looks like"! awesome pig Joe, you rock.
Hey Michael, thanks for taking a look.
I have seen the smoker attachment, though I am not sure how well it would work as I have not seen anything posted anywhere as to its effectiveness.
The taste of the roasted pork was a big hit though.
That hog looked incredible and nice review of the La Caja China. This is a good way to start the summer.
Hey Thomas, thanks for stopping by.
This is a fun cooker to have around, glad you like the review.
Whole Hog is a great way to start the summer.
Greetings from England! Glad to see someone using the meat of the Pig's head for once, stuff's real good!
Greetings Kirk, thank you for watching the show.
You got it, there is some darn good stuff on that skull which too many people let go to waste.
Cheers.

Heck yeah Joe! Never had a full roasted pig before.... only smoked. Looked awesome!
Thanks man, roasted pig does have a great flavor.
Now I need get a smoker large enough so we can do a side by side taste test.
Thank you for watching.

Thanks Rus, yes, I have heard some call it a Cajun Microwave. This thing does cook it up nice and quick & full flavored.
Pretty cool Joe!!!! I never seen one in person before. I still want to make Cochon de lait someday
Thanks Sapo - these do seem rather rare, glad I could bring one to light for you. Now I have to look up Cochon de lait...
hey joe, thanx so much for the shoutout, from the look of the head, i aint the only one that likes em,,,have looked at those boxes several times online, guess they really do work, pig looked great guy,,,hope u saved some of the cheeks for another popper vid---hope u got ur package today all safe and sound, add some horseradish wit that ketchup an make u some mean cocktail sauce----y'all have a great weekend

Your most welcome and it was interesting to watch, I would have reacted the same way :)
Oh MY Goodness!! those lil Crunchy Gifts from God!! I was Slobbering! I may have to get one of those soon!!
Dude, I could not get enough of that skin, everyone was munching them like they were tortilla chips!
The Box Rocks!
GREAT video Joe! What a cool BBQ box never seen one before. It did that pig up good! Pig looked great and I would've loved to try some of that crispy skin! Btw you have a great voice for Videos, Tv and Radio lol! Thanks a lot and take care! :D
Thank you very much Kelly.

Hehe, perhaps I should do books on tape cuz I have the face for radio...
Tango Joe You have the face and voice for anything. For real! Even voice overs.
Gee thanks Kelly, you're the best!
Tango Joe You're very welcome :D
Hi, nice video. What was the weight of that pig?
Thank you very much.
If memory serves me, I think this hog was just over 60 pounds.
TJ great video! I researched for videos too, you hit the ground running with this brother! Very nice, however it's strange, yours was the first video to pop up, from 4 years ago, you da man! The Caja China can be intimidating to some. But you got the bases covered!!
Thank you John.
The Caja China is great addition to the back yard cooking arsenal. I was always surprising there were not more videos out there.
Glad you found this one. Have a great week.
Great job on that whole hog Joe...man the skin on that baby looks amazing.
Thanks Ray - have to say that this year's skin was the snappiest yet!
Would it be a good idea to foil the belly side so it doesn't burn?
Placing foil would increase the roasting time and also decrease the flavor.
Very cool Joe, nice party! How much does a whole pig like that cost?
Hey Gary, thanks for stopping by.
Depending on the area, sometimes a whole pig can seem a bit pricy, especially these days.
It was worth it though, makes for an awesome meal and a good show for the guests.
Thats a big chicharron lol man it looks amazin thanks for sharring
I hear ya, if one is going to have chicharron it may as well be huge!
Thanks for watching.
Looks awesome Joe !!! Wonder how big of a gator it'll hold ....
Thank you very much.
I am not sure what size I could fit in it, but I certainly would like to try a gator in the box!
Dont. U. Feel. Happy. Then u. Have. 0 leftover . On your. Pig. It's all. Gone. I love it
So would peaches be a good alternative to pineapple on most dishes? Or would doing without hinder the desired flavor?
Hi Valkyrie.
Yes indeed, you can sub peaches for pineapple.
Just be sure to sub fresh for fresh, ext.
Great video 👀👍🏼
Thank you very much!
Awesome video
Thanks JC, this was a fun cook. The Caja China is a great way to serve up a pig in record time.
Yes. La caha china. Is the. Best. I pay$ 349. Best. Thing. U. Can ever. Buy.
You are right Brenda, the La Caja China is a super way to roast a pig. Always turns out great and cooks so fast.
Thank you so much for watching!
Amazing brother mouth is watering yum yum yum love the video keep um coming n smoke rolling baby. 👌
Thanks Banjo - this Caja China is the easiest way to roast a whole pig at home. A real crowd pleaser too.
Thanks for stopping by.

To much fun.
It was a super time!
Thank you for watching.
Any one know the size of the pig IE what the weight is ?
Never mind should have waited half way through he said the weight. Silly ass me lol
If I can remember correctly this one was between 60 and 70 pounds, which is about the largest you can get in this model.
Thank you for watching Jim.
Nice glasses!
Thank you Eti.
Hell yeah
Thanks for watching Dillon!
@@tangojoe9694 yeah buddy
Awesome!!!... Who got the cheeks, Joe?
Thank you!
Hmmm, let me try to recall who got the cheek meat....
Fine
Ahh *WOW*!! That's one badass pig cooker for a badass dude.. Loved the video brother, you makin me hungry now! BTW, I see a pbc behind you, (PitBarrelCooker). Do you have any reviews on it or thoughts? I really been thinking about getting one. Either that or starting with the smokenator for my weber. Any preference on your part?

Hey Chad, have to say that the Caja China is a great cooker. Being able to roast an entire pig in less than 5 hours is where it's at.
The other stuff I have is going to eventually get a review on video.
The smokenator is a cool item for the kettle, though to start off you can use some bricks to line off one portion of the kettle for a low & slow indirect cook.
The PBC is very cool, been getting the hang of that one. Def worth the $$.
Also look into a WSM - fantastic cooker.
Awesome, thanks for the reply, tips, and the heads up on the upcoming reviews. I'll be on the lookout for them. Cheers bud.
