Hi All

Was watching Jamie and Jimmy, their café thing on the pier, well to be totally honest Sienna Miller was on it and she's a very pretty lady, she cooked I think

Anyway Jimmy is a pig farmer and he cooked a whole butterflied pig in a box in 4hrs, looked great.
I think they are called Cajun microwaves.
Im sure some of you know about them, I was thinking about making one and wanted to know if anybody has attempted one before and where did you get the metal plate, grill and aluminium sheet lining??

I think it was Keith that said he cooked a whole pig and if so as your local where did you source the pig from?

Many thanks
Slatts

I cooked suckling pig, not quite the same deal, as the smaller fitted the Weber spit and the second curled nicely on a 57cm BBQ, this is the topic which has both suppliers and a couple of other suggestions.

A couple of members have done whole pigs in the past here is a selection of topics featuring Cajun Microwaves.

The aluminium sheeting you can get from ebay, cut to size too. The tray was an oil tray used under cars in garages i think, am sure they would be on ebay aswell

Thanks Keith
Will have a look at those links.

I'll try ebay aswell (hate that site,whatever I search brings up everything I don't want ) cheers Takingthe brisket.

I did have a look on google and found the sheeting for roughly £65-70.

Did look good though and the ones ive seen on youtube look great, to buy from lacajachina are very expensive especially the stainless steel ones.

Just seen this on ebay, dont know quality

Thankfully I don't even have to ponder this one, it won't fit in my garden, not sure I would even get it through my garden gate . Wonderful, no lusting after one, no desire to own one...(well maybe just a little supressed envy somewhere around).

Your garden must be the size of a coffin Keith!

Come to think of it, you could probably line a coffin, and with a little tinkering.....

Hi Slatts
They are so easy to build and well worth giving a go.
Check out my post under Wood Fired, there are pic's on my FB page.
If you want to know more PM for my phone number and I will talk you through the process.
Cheers

Rob there are a few pics on here showing my garden, the dead gazebo we had practically filled the available space. Don't forget I have to accommodate the table & chairs plus my BBQs as well
