Default removing strong smoky smell from microwave

My Son tried cooking bacon for an hour whilst sitting on a sheet of
tinfoil to keep the MW clean. It resulted in the kitchen being filled
with black and eventually I threw the microwave away as it stunk for
months. Best idea is to take aprt to get really clean, but not good if
your not handy with that sort of thing. How much did it cost as they
are so cheap sometimes the cleaning can be nearly as much as a cheap
one.
Best of luck.
