Smoke is correct. The Cajun Microwave is a roaster. They are basically like a large outdoor dutch oven. They come in sizes from large enough for a decent size pig to small enough for turkey.

I have never seen one that could be used for smoking. They are not designed to circulate air inside the cooking chamber.

I am sure it could be made to work. You would have to introduce a smoke source also.

La Caja China is a commercial made Cajun microwave. Somewhere on the net there is a guy that rigged a smoke generator to pump smoke into the box while cooking. So yes it can be done.

I have a La Caja China and have mounted a Smoke Pistol on it and it works great.  I don't use it as just a smoker but while roasting  pig, I add smoke to enhance the flavour.
