Well I got to try out my reflector oven this weekend. My son and his scout troop had a primitive campout so I thought I would try and make pizza for them. It takes a lot of wood to cook with it. I dehdrated some canned pizza sauce and when I rehydrated it it kind of tasted like vinegar. Nasty stuff. The rest of it was ok just the sauce. I don't know what I did wrong but I must work on that. The boys ate it anyway. Tongue
With the fires in the BWCA I may not get to use it anyway. Sad

I know that my oven came out of the pack.

DD said he left his out as well, all that work and did not even get to use the upgraded model in live conditions.

IF, the flashing stove works in park like it did on gas range at home, it might be something to consider as you can use it on stove or fire Huh Huh
SOMETHING tells me that this is just the start of the early fire season for the foreseeable future unless all the weather experts are just flat wrong??
I'm hoping for some rain between now and the 19th but threw in extra fuel bottle just in case???
 theweathernetwork.com, has a 14 day forecast that shows colder than normal after the 19th/20th, with some rain in forecast??
Maybe good idea to bring oven and decide at last minute??

Just found this group and about to head out on my first long canoe trip. In 3 weeks we've headed to the lower Allagash.

Here is the oven I built to take along. I modified it form a design I found in Gil Gilpatrick's book. This is a pic of it closed.

This is a pic of it open. I used the locking flap as a leg to keep it upright. The chain in the first pic is use to take the bouce out of the oven. The next gen. will have a more solid piece at the hinge point.

thanks

It doesn't fold flat. the 1st pic is the travel mode and the 2nd the cooking.

It is heavy. It's made from 20 or 22 gage sheet metal I found in the dump. It's what I had when I needed to build it. Wieghs in at 11 lbs.

True enough, but there is always "next year."  So, while I did give up my brownies and banana nut muffins on this trip, I did learn how to make "fry bread" bisquits.  They didn't turn out too bad, if I say so myself.  In any case, there were never any leftovers!
