Box Oven
1
Brick (or flat rock)
1
pk Aluminum foil, heavy-duty
1
Corrugated cardboard box
1
Metal pie pan, old
3
Coat hangers
4
Charcoal briquets, lit
1. Cover the inside and outside of the box completely with 3 or 4
layers of aluminum foil, including the flaps. Lay box on level
ground so that the opening opens oven-style (front-door style is OK,
too).
2. Straighten the coat hangers, then run them through the sides of
the box about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom to form a rack.
3. Set brick in bottom. Place live coals into pie pan/pie plate. Put
pan on brick (don't forget, the PIE PAN IS HOT! Use an oven mitt or
hot pad).
4. Place food to be cooked onto coat-hanger rack and close oven
door.
Watch carefully, checking often. Each live coal makes about 80
degrees Fahrenheit.
