Was given this lil' box Cajun microwave type thing. Anybody ever use this set up, or seen it in action?

It's not big enough for a pig, and I can't think of how it's gonna impart much flav.

TIA for any suggestions.

DFL box:

We had pretty much that exact setup at an old hunting camp I was in. They work great, but it's just an oven. Meaning there is not any flavor impartation going to be going on from the fire. It's cool to stand around though on a cold winter day and cooks like a sumbitch..

Ok. That's what I figured.
There's a rack on the bottom, but I figured I'd need some other kind of rack, to go on that rack, so it could be closer to the heat.

What'd ya make in it?

Yea, it's all about just standing around it and drinking beer. I haven't used our in a few years, ever since my old man and I put this contraption together we've been roasting chicken (picture) and hogs off the patio when I'm back home.

Use it in conjunction with an Amazin Smoke Tube and you'll get a light smoke flavor. My buddy has one that he uses in that manor.

Chicken thighs, pork roast, pork loin and tendeloin, brisket, salmon...... He did have to make a small hole in order for the smoker to stay lit.

Nah, that box should get hot as shite. Shouldn't need to elevate it I wouldn't think. I would stick a foil pan with a little water under whatever meat you have on though. It will give off a little steam and help catch the fat that drips down so you don't have a bigass mess. in the bottom.

Pigs. Little football sized baby wild pigs.

The problem here is that you have to let the smoke out and opening the lid of a cajun microwave often is bad bidness. It doesn't allow for fresh air to aerate through the box. Your smoke turns stale.

Yeah it's just an outdoor oven. Perfect for a camp and sitting around a fire drinking beer thinking about the piglet inside, or in your case, the shoulder and the ribs.
