re: Building a Cajun Microwave - Thoughts and Ideas

it seems that your cleanup would be faster if you just used a heating element instead of fooling with charcoal - at least for cookouts in the backyard where electricity is reasonably accessible. A heating element like that would even obviate the need for the steel pan. You could just use all plywood and foil.

Many times this is used at a tailgate, camp or in a place without accessible electricity. And besides, the whole point of this is that I have to sit outside and poke to fire to make sure it doesn't get too hot or cold inside the cajun microwave, lol. You take all the fun out of it if I can set it and forget it. It's about the process as much as the pig. You get an 8 hour excuse to sit around and drink beer.
