Do you even know what this website is about Bea?? There whole idea about eating offal is that you have respect for the animal and that your not just eating a choice cut ….and throwing out the rest. Or grinding it into dog food ….the people that are on this website are the people that are pushing the sustainable food movement….supporting small farmers, fisher man…educating people on where there food comes from and how it gets there, so they can make there own decisions on what they eat…and yes maybe they would decide on nuts and seeds, if they seen a cow being bled out. Cooking with offal has been apart of human history
as a way of not wasting an animal that has been killed, do you think the modern way(BonelessSkinLess) is better?
But i see that you have nothing wrong with death threats and can sit in your high tower looking down at the meat eating monsters, not leting your kid be a kid…nibbling on organic vegtables from your local farmers market that have been grown in shit from Dairy,beef, and god forbid a chicken factory farms….so think about that the next time you bite into that carrot….or eat a big bowl of over cooked barley…..

Colleen Q … He’s ugly, mean and nasty… I’ve just discovered these “offal” people here exist on the gross-out factor and trying to avoid the ethics. I have a 7 year old that does the same thing… the boy will do anything to avoid reality or “serious thought”.

Why are the ethics avoided so vehemently? Accept that there really is not argument - and no justification for the animal killing… Reduced to mono syllables and doing the avoidy-thing they chant “hummm…bacon”….

Your face is so ugly there is no way your getting laid so you take out your frustration on killing animals. Die the same cruel death the pig did. Can’t happen soon enough.

been there done that. The box is great and the pig is cooked wonderfully. BUT - it is a roast pig, no flavor of the coals or the grill, no bar-b-que, no crispies, just baked. Tastes like it came from an oven (which it did) and is not as good or tasty as a grilled on top pic

You are what you eat I suppose… Absolutely disgusting - fat, tissue, cancers, tumors, infection, blood vessels. These belong to a living creature. You are deluding yourselves thinking this is “food”. It’s a carcass - dead flesh and not NECCESSARY. Man survives better on a plant-based diet… for health & heart - GO VEGAN

Ooh nice. My parents never cooked the pig themselves, but for special occasions (we’re Vietnamese), we’d buy the whole pig already roasted at a Chinese BBQ place (they’d also do roasted whole ducks).

I SO want one of these - but I think my wife would be unhappy at filling half our not so big DC yard/garden with a pig cooker. Not that it’s gonna be the same as the whole pic in a caja china, but I’m thinking about trying to do a shoulder in a smaller hand built box. Might get around to it sometime this summer.

I love the La Caja China. I have done over 20 pigs, hundreds of chickens (16 at a time), turkeys and even a whole lamb in it. Being from the South Carolina we believe in eating the whole animal. This is a great site.

I’ve been using the caja china for years. Next year try brining the little piggy. It makes the soppings extra tasty.
