La Caja Pig Box?

Dookiebutt · 07-25-2008, 04:05 PM

Do any of you know anything about the La Caja pig box grill? Our wine making group had a little get-together last night and one of the guys wants he and I to have a pig roast for the group next month in his La Caja pig box grill. He tried to describe it to me - the charcoal goes on the top - and it seemed a little odd.

What can you pig-cookers tell me?

i think you bury it and then coal the top of it ? thats what my family does , but its not called that. hope that helps

I thought I had posted a vid on it. Bobby Flay had a "Throwdown with La-Caja China".

Hey knightrider I have a thirty pound shoulder in my freezer. You got a good recipe for a tangy and spicy sauce?

What else can you cook in it besides a pig?

jimkim · 07-26-2008, 09:46 AM

You can cook anything that can be roasted.

one cup apple cider vinegar a half cup of thyme half cup of basil , one bottle of Riesling , sea salt , fresh pepper , some bay leafs , one or 2 onions <i like sweet onion> , brown suger . great rub and sauce .

jimkim · 07-26-2008, 02:51 PM

Thanks. How is it with a little Habanero sauce? Can I use a chenin blanc or another sweet white wine if I cant find Riesling?

knightRider · 07-26-2008, 03:32 PM

yeah as long as its semi sweet and fruity . i would think the pepper would work , kinda of a sweet and spicy .

jimkim · 07-26-2008, 03:45 PM

Thanks. That is what I was going for.

knightRider · 07-26-2008, 08:51 PM
