Here's an interesting, simple and inexpensive thread covering the building of a reflector oven, which folds flat for storage and transportation.

I like the top one. K.I.S.S. - I can see how to make one and it really does fold flat!

Cheers,

They look interesting and I can follow the instructions to build them. I just can't work out how they're used! Do you stick it beside a fire or shove some coals in it or what?

Set down adjacent to the fire, the heat is reflected and circulates, cooking by radiant and convection heat.

One for the canoe trips I think

These look interesting.

All I can think about is bush pizza!

helixpteron - Thanks! I'm looking for something I can use in a bothy. I'm going to give the pot inside a pot method a go.

A guaranteed method of baking, ultralight style, would be the Outback Oven Ultralight, a smaller version of the standard 10" model, with which you use your existing pans.

There's even an excellent recipie book specifically written for the Outback Oven, and there are several good reviews on the 'Oven, after you've had an Outback Oven, you can't imagine camp cooking without it - neither can your travelling companions!

That first one is especially nice! Nothing like biscuits or bannock baked in a reflector oven.
