If you can't cook over a fire and you have a small group check this out. You can do this over a small stove. I made one of these in about 1/2 an hour 2 weeks ago before I left on a backpacking trip. I had a pot big enough to cook 2 blueberry muffins in and they were great. I put the muffin mix in a couple of those aluminum muffin cups.  It is very easy to use and make. Just be sure to follow the times she has set out for cooking and don't peak. I know its hard to do. Scroll down and you will see how to make one and farther up she talks about cooking in it.

Sounds a bit like   (You need to Login or Register but requiring an additional appliance.  My paddling partner used the roasting bag approach on last year's trip, while I field tested the reflector oven.  The bag approach is a tad messer; the oven approach a bit heavier.

Yet the approach does have appeal in that you can use a more managable freezer bag in place of the mylar-looking roasting bag.  In addition, you could probably skip using the spiral piece in the bottom of the pan and use small stones instead.  Given a large enough pot, you could also use a diffuser plate inside the pot and not have to carry anything extra at all (except of course for the freezer bag).
