What is china box?

The China box is a type of barbecue cooker box that is widely used in Asian cuisine, especially Chinese cuisine. It is also known as a "la caja china" in Spanish, which means "the Chinese box". The box is made from wood and lined with aluminum or stainless steel material to reflect heat.

The China box typically consists of two main parts - a cooking chamber and a charcoal tray. The cooking chamber is where the meat is placed, and the charcoal tray is located beneath it. The box is designed to cook the meat slowly over a long period, turning it into succulent and tender meat that is juicy and flavorful.

The process of cooking using a China box involves marinating the meat in a special marinade, then placing it in the cooking chamber. Charcoal is lit in the tray beneath the chamber, and the lid is closed. The heat generated from the charcoal slowly cooks the meat to perfection.

China boxes are popular for roasting pigs, chickens, turkeys, and other meats. They are commonly used for outdoor events like barbecues, weddings, and parties. They are easy to use and can produce large quantities of tasty meats.
