Title: Re: Reflector Ovens Post by DentonDoc on Jul 22nd, 2005 at 4:23pm
Here is my rendition of a "tripper-style" oven that can be used with a camp stove rather than a campfire.
As this picture shows, the (You need to Login or Register is constructed of light weight aluminum straps and L-channel. The pieces are attached to each other by using small screws and wing nuts. The pot in the bottom section is a three-liter pot setting on top of a MSR Simmerlite stove. The top rack is constructed using metal skewers with the heads bent at a 90-degree angle. Here is the stove with its (You need to Login or Register. Based on this design, I'm dumping the windscreen for the stove--I've never really found them particularly useful anyway, and as the pictures show, I should be able to "double use" the heat generated to cook two things at once. I guess the "proof is in the cooking." Tripper's "proof" is in the form of Marie Callendar's yellow corn bread (which I just found and am eager to try out). My "proof" is (You need to Login or Register. Cornbread was chosen because, the recipe's typically call for cooking temperatures at 400 degrees or more. After re-working the parts a bit more, I was able to create a reflector version, using the same parts. This picture is of the (You need to Login or Register and this picture is of the (You need to Login or Register. The frame and rack assembly breaks down for storage into a (You need to Login or Register (shown here with the parts arranged as a "table top" frame) that is roughly 2 1/2 inches in diameter. This unit weighs in at under 2 pounds--I'm now looking for lighter tubing material. LOL Did I mention I like to tinker? I'll be field testing this in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how it goes. dd |
