Cajun Coonass Microwave

This may be completely new to any of my readers either not from Louisiana, or who don't know themselves know a Coonass personally. A few days ago my buddy Scott here on the boat was chatting with out Chief Gunner about a "coonass" microwave. Needless to say the Chief figured my buddy was full of it. So Scott brings up all these web pages about the item, plans to make your own, etc.

By the end of the day the Chief had his two guys, who are extremely handy with wood and metal working, to fab up one so we can cook with it. What you see in the images below is what they came up with. And let me tell you, the two chickens we cooked as our first offering, tasted amazing!

If you're interested in one of these for your own backyard get together, do a Google search for "Cajun Microwave" and/or "Coonass Microwave". Both will net results. The basic idea is just a metal lined wooden box with a removable top that has a recess for hot coals. Pretty basic really. If you make one after reading this, please send me a note with your results!!!
