Low and Slow?? (La Caja China)??

[afgoalie]

Question to Perry or any other La Caja China owners.

Have you every tried to regulate the cooking temp of the La Caja China by reducing the charcoal? I am toying with the idea of slow cooking a couple briskets. I thought about only using half the charcoal and keeping it on one side of the box. I am competing in an informal BBQ contest on our Air Force Base and they are providing two (approx 7lb) briskets. I tested one last night and it was done in like two hours. It tasted great but that just isn't enough time to get it fall appart tender. Thoughts?

I dont have one but I would imagine that reducing the charcoal will give you less heat.

I've never used one... but the meat doesnt get any smoke at all does it? Or is there a work around?

I think there are some mods you can do to make it into a smoker..
