I made three of the Flash Ovens this past weekend, one for my brother and two for me.  They weigh 12 oz (each) including skewers, heat diffuser, and oven thermometer.  Home Depot has various height rolls of aluminum flashing from 10" to 20".  Betty Crocker has some muffin mixes in a bag that cost $1 and all you add is 1/2C water.  I made the lemon poppyseed (small) cake from the mix and it turned out great.  Easy to make, cheap, and works good.

I have been looking at the Outback oven and they use an insulating material to help hold the heat in. One thing about this flashing oven is it does take a while to cook things and I think it is because of heat loss.
I have a friend that is a fire chief for a small town fire dept. They are getting new turn out gear (fire proof jackets) and I asked if I could have one of the old ones. I was thinking about tearing it apart and making a cover for the oven. I would have to find some Nomax thread to sew it and it will probably be heavier that I want but if I get it done I will let you know if it works.

OT,
that's a interesting idea, sort of a "cozie" for the flashing oven??
ONE thing I found, with the SILICONE top, I don't think the heat loss is as great as a metal pan because the SILICONE stays cool enough to touch??

I made a jello mold oven with suggestions from "that other site" and added silicone to insulate the outside of it.  IMO, it made a big difference, especially in colder campouts.  You can buy a silicone baking sheet(s) set at Bed bath & beyond, or any where, that's just where I got mine, cut to fit.  You can use a rubber band on the outside of the silicone to keep in place, or "stitch" it together with wire.  Just push the wire thru or use needle to create holes.  It stays in place pretty well by itself, if sized right.  It is not melt proof thou, as I found out, and creates quite the mess if it gets too hot.   I think I posted pictures on here, can't remember thread name.

Can't find pictures if they were posted here.  Anyway, if you are member or want to look at, BWCA.com, search under "jello mold oven" words and it will pop up.
