Do you have a good source for cabrito, around League City by chance?

Just saw a video on this box. Looks pretty cool. Nice way to roast a pig. Thinking of building me one . Does not look to hard.

I had one given to me just last week. The guy was moving and didn't want to take it, so I did. Used once.

When you are ready to build, let me know and I can take some measurements for you. Looks like an easy build for sure.

Probably find some specs on line as well. Might find more home model ideas by searching "cajun microwave".

Take care,

caja china is basically a charcoal fired oven w/NO smoke flavor.
most folks have a simular device in their kitchen using a different fuel source.

Don't mean to hijack, but I have 4 young male goats ~40# that I want $50 ea. I live down by Matagorda. Shoot me a message if interested.

Once I'm ready I will let you but I appreciate you wanting to do that.

I like cabrito almost any way our old-time Mexican ranch hands cooked it but for some reason can't duplicate that flavor myself. Instead I cook it (all cuts) just like lamb shanks.

Use a heavy iron dutch oven and braise the meat until light brown in olive oil. Then add a couple bay leaves, salt and pepper, garlic cloves and then squeeze several limes over it. Add water to half cover the meat and put the lid on. Cook in 450 degree oven for 1 hour. Add a little more water and then back in the oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour. It literally falls off the bone and tastes so good you'll cry for joy. Served best with egg noodles and brown gravy made from the drippings. Cold Carta Blanca really goes well with it too.
