Thinking back on this, I too am curious what would result from heating other metal halides with sodium hydrogen sulfate...
Could this be possible...
NaHSO4(s) + NaI(s) -> HI(g) + Na2SO4(s)
If so, I would assume that you could lead a small tube out of the microwave and catch the hydrogen iodide in water.
If you guys say this might work, a friend of mine is willing to tear up a microwave, I happen to have a microwave leakage detector that's long overdue for use in a major felony.
Let me know,

And on the eight day, God created Meth...
