Title: Box Oven
Categories: Camping Nonfood
Yield: 1 Servings
| 1 | Brick or flat rock | |
| 1 | Corrugated cardboard box | |
| 3 | Coat hangers | |
| 1 | pk | Aluminum foil, heavy-duty |
| 1 | Metal pie pan, old | |
| 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.
