As you all most probably know. A microwave has a MOT connected to a voltage doubler. Then that goes to the magnetron.
But. Can i smooth the output of the voltage doubler so i can run the magnetron in CW? Would that be done simply by putting another MOC between the outputs of the Voltage doubler. Or would such a circuit be used?

Keep in mind, the magnetron is one of the diodes in the doubler.

So the later would have to do, I am still not sure how to evenly spread the power over the cycle.

The magnetron is not one of the diodes. It is in (anti) parallel with the diode. Look at the typical schematic and some details about a similar modification here:

The doubler with two diodes and two capacitors may work. I don't know if the magnetron can handle the increased power.
