Is the Cajun Microwaves worth the money. Is it something you can use for BBQing doing briskets, etc.....

We have done many pork roasts in a coonass microwave. They cook great. But if you have the equipment to make your own they are not that hard to make. But you van get a smaller one and do roasts and small hogs and such. I'm sure brisket would be good if it were done right. The roasts come out awesome.

We normally cook for 8-9 hours depending on size of pig. Start off skin side down and flip in about 4 hours.

I always put alum foil over my pig while cooking. By doing this it dont get black on the outside before the inside is cooked. The foil keeps the heat from hitting the highest part of the pig and turning it black. Toward the end I take foil out and check the skin often until I get it the texture and color I'm looking for.I never flip the pig and cook it skin up.

What did you marinate the pig in beforehand?

We try to keep temp around 250-275. We bring temp up at the end to crisp the cracklins.

Man that looks good

lsufish 08-15-2012 01:41 PM

Did you slice the skin before hand or did it just crack that way?

meathauler 08-15-2012 01:57 PM

Thats the color I try for but the end result depends on how many cold ones I have. I found that alot of the time the basting is what burns so I just season the outside, inject and stuff with garlic. I cook mine at 250 to 300 for 6 hrs on average but it depends on size of hog.
That is a nice cooker JoeBlow. I like how it has a bottom tray so that your meat dont sit in the grease.

Thanks. I also had a custom stainless grill for the top that you can see in last picture. Grill is upside down in picture. We grill sausage and bacon wraps to snack on while pig is cooking.

Forgot to mention we score the skin with razor blade to let fat cook out.

elliots meat market already injected seasoned to perfection. cover with aluminum foil to keep pig from turning black. when the pig is cooked all the way take off the foil and cook the craklins to your likeing. that is the best pigs that i have ever ate and cooked. i have cooked 4 of those personally and ate alot more that that.
