The Cajun Microwave

I was telling my brother-in-;aw about a Cajun Microwave and he had never seen one.  It's a wooden box lined with sheet metal.  You put the meat inside and build a fire on top.  Some use firewood, I always started with charcoal, but whatever works.

It's hard to explain, but a video works, so here gotes.


I haven't owned on in20 years, but I'm no longer in the habit of cooking 60-pound hogs.  But if I wanted one, some 1X6 and roof flashing, and I could build a working one in an afternoon.

Once,  near Houston, I saw a fellow who had made something similar out of a wheelbarrow.  He basically put a piece of sheet metal atop a wheelbarrow and used it to cook.  Again, whatever works.
