I'm looking to make an oven for use with an open fire. To make the oven I have some offcuts from cooker hoods. The metal is U shaped, roughly 250mm (10") across the bottom and 200mm (8") high on either side.
I was unsure of a several design features, how useful/essential they are and the best way to incorporate them into the design.
1. A door would be useful but would side access or top access be better?
2. Is the box placed over the fire or do I make a plate to put the embers on.
3. How easy would it be to make the box colapsible
4. Are any ventilation holes required?
5. What size would be ample?
Any thoughts on these, or has anyone made one?
Cheers.
