La Caja China has been fondly referred to as "The Magic Box." The question many people have is what is it? What can I cook with it? Where did it come from? Let's address the last questions first….
Legend has it that Chinese workers brought this method of cooking with them when they came to Cuba to work on the railroads in the 1850's, thus the name 'Caja China' which means Chinese Box. Others claim that similar boxes are used throughout the Caribbean for roasting but no one knows for sure why they are called Chinese. The origin of the name may remain a mystery. But the facts are undeniably mouth-watering. The Guerra family brought the secret of making these extra-ordinary roasting boxes from Cuba to Miami. And the results are uniformly spectacular. A perfect outcome, every time, guaranteed!
The question that first comes to mind is, "So what can I cook with it?"
Here is the top 7 items and their roasting times:
Great also for:
Fish / Lobster / Brisket / Roast Beef
La Caja China is not a good or a service - It's an experience. It's a culture. It's about the age-old mainstays of good food, good friends, and good times. It's rugged but romantic. Requiring butchering, braising, brining and handling. It's charcoal and chatter. As the food cooks, the aromas become as enticing as the spectacle itself. It becomes not just a conversation piece, but a conversation starter.
Most of all, La Caja China is realizing that in 4 hours you've made a delicious, authentic meal that ended up feeding your soul.

La Caja China, for all the pig-related press, is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment I've used in a lifetime of cooking and barbecue.I can prepare everything from holiday dinners like St. Patrick's Day corned beef and Thanksgiving turkey; ethnic delights like Malaysian Satays and Italian porchetta sandwiches, to Kalua pig and Moroccan lamb. I can grill steaks, braise chickens, and roast prime-rib that rivals any restaurant, and do it all in my own backyard!
And, of course, I can roast melt-in-your-mouth whole pigs that send my guests into fits of gastronomical joy.
Even more importantly, I can prepare these dishes for crowds that would normally require a smoke house, a four-foot deep pit dug in my yard, multiple gas grills, and several full-size ovens. Not only that, but I can do it anywhere, anytime!
