The pork shoulder is one of the popular cuts
of meat that’s often cooked on the grill. It
comes from the thinner, triangular end of
the pig’s shoulder and can be cooked as a
whole or in slices. If you’re wondering about
what you can do with this meat cut, well,
there are many recipes you can use it for.
Among the most delicious ones that you
should try at home include pulled pork
barbecue, chilis and stews. Now you might ask, “How long do you cook pork
shoulder?” The answer to that would be, “It depends.” Using a slow cooker entails
a different cooking time than using an oven. It’s also different if you’ll cook it on a
grill. But if you’ll use your La Caja China, you can expect to have your dish served
in just a matter of three to four hours, still depending on the weight of your meat.
To get a clear idea on how it is done, let us share this delicious recipe with you.

1. First of all, let’s make your marinade for the pork shoulder. Get a large mixing
bowl and pour these ingredients in: brown sugar, crushed red pepper, seasoning
salt, Cajun seasoning, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian-style salad
dressing, distilled white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, apple juice, soy
sauce, corn syrup, garlic powder and
onion powder.
2. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly
in order to evenly distribute the
flavors in the marinade.

3. Now work on your pork shoulder. Get
a sharp knife and score the meat, making
¼-inch deep cuts. When you’re done,
soak the pork shoulder in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and
then put it in the refrigerator. You can
leave it there for about four hours to let
the flavors sink into the meat. For best
results, leave it overnight.
4. When it’s time to grill your pork shoulder, remember to thaw it for an hour
prior. When it has already thawed, put it between your roasting racks and secure
them with the S-hooks. Remember that the meat should face skin-side down.
5. Get the wired thermometer and run the probe just under the La Caja China’s
top frame. Put the ash pan and then the charcoal grid in place.
6. Now here’s the thing. If you are using La Caja China model #1, put 16 pounds of
charcoal on the grid. If, on the other hand, you’re using La Caja China model #2,
put 18 pounds of charcoal. Light the coals up. After 20 to 25 minutes, they should
all shine a bright orange. Spread them on the grid, covering only 2/3 of the space.
There should be a little space left that you can use to cool the meat down.
7. Take note of this as the start of your cooking time. After 60 minutes, put
another 9 pounds of charcoal on the grid. Keep on doing this until the
thermometer reaches 187 degrees
Fahrenheit.
8. When your pork shoulder reaches
your desired temperature, carefully
lift the grid up and shake it a little.
Doing so will remove some of the
ashes. Put the grid on top of the long
metal handles at the side of your La

Caja China once you’re done.
9. Now time to flip your pork! Turn it on its other side to get a crispilicious skin.
Then proceed by covering the racks with the ash pan and the charcoal grid. You
no longer have to add charcoals anymore.
10. After 30 minutes, take a peek inside the roasting box and check if the skin is
already crispy to your liking. Otherwise, you can continue checking on it every 10
minutes.
11. When the pork shoulder is done, set it on the cool part of the grill. Let its
juices flow back into the meat for about 10 more minutes. After that time, carve
and serve your roasted pork shoulder with your favorite side dishes!
