Building a Cajun Microwave - Thoughts and Ideas
Posted on 9/14/15 at 9:33 pm

Going to build a cajun microwave for upcoming use. I have a decent design down with steel base and drain, BBQ rack for cooking above firebox, pig jig to make flipping easier, etc. Any other ideas you have put in your own design or seen others that works well? Also any ideas on surplus stainless counter tops, sinks, tanks, that could be reused to make the inside liner stainless?

My Cajun microwave is made from 1 sheet of plywood and a steel pan. I line it with heavy duty aluminum foil every time I assemble it to cook, and use some disposable aluminum pans to elevate the pig on a surplus BBQ grate and keep it off the bottom. Works awesome. The beauty of the Cajun microwave to me is the simplicity. Don't over think it.

Sounds like it's going to be heavy. Put some wheels on there.
Also maybe a sight glass.
I have one for about 10 years and use it 6-8 times a year. It's lined with sheet metal. The bottom where the meat rests is a 1" elevated expandable metal grading. Floor has a drain on one end with a valve.

I'd definitely line it with sheet metal and make a drain on one end. makes for easier cleanup.

What I'd used is 20 in. x 50 ft. Aluminum Drip Edge Flashing from home Depot about $35 a roll. I'd over lap the edges and staple it to the wood.
