Decided to try out my Swedish army svea alcohol stove with my mors pot and a small fry pan to do a little baking. Was an add water only muffin mix took I'd guess maybe 3 to 4 ounces of alcohol to fully bake it tough time estimate bout 20 minutes. Came out really good to. Let's see any ways that you've done baking. Same idea works well over a white gas stove to.

You should apply to cutthroat kitchen :) impressive.
Haha yeah nobody wants to see me on tv I'm to grouchy lol.

Thanks fellas. This can be adapted to other pots to long as you leave a bit of air space for the baking vessel. Would be great with a fire to being able to scoop some coals on top

I'd call that a result!
wouldn't the cake tin fit inside the billy/oven the proper way up? Only going by the lid size in the last picture & the open oven pictures, it looks like it might, so long as its off the bottom it will work well...

I've done a fair bit of Alcohol baking I do mine on simmer with the ring fully open & pot lid on, no peeping slow bake for up to an hour... plenty of heat cooked through brown moist no burn

this was my first attempt

Dry Baking on my Trangia 25 in the large billy Top tip greaseproof paper to prevent sticking & saves on washing up,

Enamel plate makes a good baking tray. but with hindsight maybe not such a great idea as thermodynamically Aluminium is probably better than whatever material enamel plates are made from! bake time was reduced by about 10 minutes for a similar recipe (caramel cup cake) when the small aluminium billy was used as a cake tin

You guys are tempting me to shove my Billy into the wood burner. I fear my flatmates may start to question my sanity.

Stop it! :p

Alan 13~7 yep it will fit just a bit to tight to pull the fry pan out. It made much easier this way.

I say take your pot and give it a try make them think ya lost it. Pics are required if ya do.

Like the "side on" technique- thats a new one to me! A bit of weld mesh and some tin snips would soon make an oven shelf too!

Could've been. It's not anything new doing baking like this I enjoy playing around trying new ideas with my stuff. The mors pot is a favorite piece of kit for sure
