First, we must distinguish Barbecue from general outdoor cooking with a grill. The term Barbecue as I am using it in this article, is for cooking meat in a wood or charcoal fired smoker, with indirect heat, at low temperature, for a long period of time.

La Caja China Pig Roasting History
Seemingly, there is as much mystery surrounding the origins of the “caja china” as there is about how to use one for those not familiar with this pig roasting cooker.

Hog Roasts are the new sensation sweeping the nation. Yes, they have been going for a fair few years- the medieval world was a huge fan of the spit roast after all.
