A friend of mine from CA just called asking for a recipe roasting a pig in a Cajun Microwave. As I have never done one I knew the best place to go was the F&D board for good recipes, tips, suggestions. Searched on the internet but did not find the kind of info I knew the experts here could give.
Any recipes, advise, tips and suggestions would be much appreciated.

TIA

Google. I'm on my phone and just don't have the time. Short version...

Get a pig already split and cleaned. Inject it with whatever you like. Season the outside with whatever you like.

Put it in the oven skin side down for a while then flip it. Keep it in the oven untill it's cooked. Get a blow torch and crisp the skin if it's still soft after the pig is cooked. Eat.

season outside, cajun inject garlic butter, cook skin side down at 250 to 300 degrees for 2.5 to 3 hours depending on size.

turn pig and cook for 2.5 more hours. keep box temp under 300.
Cut skin in checkerboard pattern and season(tonys, etc.) immediately after turning.

be careful not to overcook if pig is 50lbs or less.

There's a reason I didn't give times. If he's cooking a 35 lb. pig it will be toast. I 160 lb. pig might still be bloody.

Soooo many variables with this. No real special trick to it, just cook it until it's done. Gonna need lots of beer.

One thing I like to do is put a little rack on the fire and cook some sausage or somethin while the porker is roasting.

Conchon de lait

1 liter of coke
1 bottle of Worcestershire sauce
1 bottle of mustard
1 big bottle of Italian salad dressing
1 bottle of honey
1 can of seasoning
1 jar of Cajun injector 

Put pig in box.  Inject whole jar of Cajun injector into pig.  Then empty half of the coke.  Add half of the Italian salad dressing, half of the mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.  Add a quarter of the honey.  This will make 2 bottle of mixture.  Shake up and apply to pig.  Add seasoning after that.  Cook pig for 4 hours at 250.  Remove top and flip pig and apply the rest of the mixture.  Cook for another 2 hrs and then check pig.
