La Caja China - The Chinese Box
So, my boss told me the other day that he was going to have a pig roast for the company. I was like, "Awesome! I'll be there!" Then he said that he wanted me to cook a 100 pound hog. I told him I didn't have a smoker big enough. He said, "No problem" and led me to his office where he had a brand new La Caja China. He told me that it was all mine all I had to do was use it to cook the hog for the company get together. I said "I'm on it!"
I thanked him and promised to do the cook. I didn't go into how it is a big charcoal powered crock pot and not a true BBQ smoker or any of that. I try to never look a gift horse in the mouth especially when it's my boss. So, my problem now is how to get some smoke on the meat when using it. La Caja China has a smoke pistol accessory but it requires special cartridges that I'm not thrilled about having to buy. So, I thought maybe a Smoke Daddy Big Kahuna might be the ticket. Any ideas on how to get some smoke on the meat other than the Smoke Daddy using this cooker?

But, me being a "Southern boy" I just can't get over smokey, tender pork and would rather use my own recipe for the cook.

I really, really wanna get one of these and they're really not very expensive, but they seem too specialized. I can't see myself roasting a whole hog more than twice a year.
Still, that's an amazing score you got there! |

The La Caja China is a smoker turned upside down. There is no way to get smoke in it because the heat source is on top:

As a matter of fact you can also buy the smoke pistol and wood cartridges on the La Caja China website.
