Labor day roasted pig

This is a "caja china," supposedly a Cuban/Chinese invention for roasting food. You order it from FLA, it comes in pieces, you put it together and then follow loads of YouTube videos to the best Cuban feast this ride of Key West.

 

It has now officially replaced frying turkeys as the official Labor Day family novelty (where "novelty" means doing something dangerous with heat, sharp things, and meat after a full afternoon of drinking beer under the sun.

Part I:

Assembly

After the box is assembled, you go to work on the pig. We used a 39lb for about 15 people which left about 22 lb of pig meat. You have to do some pretty nasty stuff to the pig (I will make a separate by-invitation only tabblo for the curious so send me a message), and keep this one to the G rated stuff.

 

This is "mojo" which you make as a briny spicy substance to inject the pig with for 24 hours.

Part III:

Eat and drink like a Cuban

Part IV:

Finish strong with some Wurdle

I've wondered about these - saw Bobby Flay use one on Food Network's "Throwdown" show and have thought it would make a tasty meal!
