If you could do it again, would you get the same size? I am considering purchase and am stuck between the #1 size and the #2 size.

I tihnk I would increase to the larger size. It's rather difficult to find an 80lb or smaller pig. I've only cooked one pig in the roaster and was pleased with the results. It however took longer than what the chart said. That might be because it was 30 degrees out and started snowing.

I would say it all depends on the size of hog u want to cook. I've only cooked whole hogs around 30 lbs and it works great. I probably won't cook anything much larger so I'm satisfied with the purchase and would buy the same size again. Although, the larger model might provide more space for more even cooking when cooking a smaller hog. The underside of the ribs can get a little charred if trying to achieve the recommended temperature for the meat. But I admit that the meat hadn't fully come up to room temperature before starting the cookin process and could possibly be the source of this phenomenon.

Martin, I have all of the models (I write the cookbooks for La Caja China) and I would recommend one of the taller models, for two reasons: First, you can always roast a smaller pig in a bigger box, but not vice versa. Second, I think the extra height allows a better finish on the skin without burning, especially during the learning curve. Lots of Caja tips and recipes on my blog burninloveblog.com Welcome to the club! -Chef Perry (ps- they have a great Facebook page, too.)

I think you would be happy with the small one. They are a little bulky under the covers, but I am still happy I got mine. I'm 5'6" and I got the medium size.

Yes take same size if you like it fit but if you like it to be little wider then take bigger

Good question, I goofed and got too small a size, but, they still work for me and my wife can use them!

Yes, I wear the same size. It comes with 3 different size supports, low, med, and high.

I agree with the others...I would go for the smaller size. I was between sizes, went with a medium and it was too big.

Hi Karen, I am sorry but it states nothing about a custom size on this Prime listing, you must go to the listing that it says to get a custom size. Thanks Joe I thought you had the right order before and have been going crazy looking for it. That's why I thought I can custom size it but I can't, Amazon will send you the standard size. You will have to decide what to do next. Sorry Joe

So buy two or three of the smallest and keep the one that actually fits, send the rest back.It's a crap shoot, but worth it.I join the other responder in wondering if thay actually make sizes that small.

I would get the smaller..I had the same dilemma and opted for the larger- had to cut it down a lot! CB

I would go on to the smaller size they stretch over time slightly. Mine still fits well but is looser than when I bought it.

No. You have to plan ahead and get the size you think will work best for you.

As far as I recall, only one size was offered. I thought about ordering two, but ultimately decided one would suffice. This question might be better addressed to the supplier.

I would like to buy your product but find amazon's sizing confusing / wrong. Please explain how size 1 can be xs, s, m, l , xl and then size 2 is xs , s, m, l ,xl , etc for each size.

I would get a longer one. I had the bunion surgery...twice. First time they put in a pin and I had a surgical shoe; a short one would have worked. The pin slipped and the next one was a cast up to my knee so I would would have needed a longer one.

You might be more comfortable with the next size or two up. It will probably be ok but after a bit it might tear, and it will probably feel snug at 4".

Stay with your original size, You are playing a hit and miss game.I have tried two so far and neither one fit. Pisses me off.
