Cardboard Box Oven

[campmaster]

This is my box oven I made with my grand kids. I chuckle everytime I see it. This is a good project for a kid (with supervision, of course).

I made my first one way, way back when I was a scout.

I wrote an instruction page on my blog if you want to make one.

This would come in handy when the power goes out or on a camping trip.

Take the metal parts with you and you can pick up a box and foil anywhere. You could be baking in minutes.

Hey, Campmaster! How about an Introduction?

Thanks for posting an intro; the fact that you have grand-kids gives us an idea about your age & marital status, & your blog speaks of your experience. Great idea! I was wondering what to do with all of these bana boxes that I have, now I know where one of them is going! Do you have anything for a Reflector oven made out of metal, not aluminum foil? :cool2:

If Sarge is handin' out compliments, he's just lookin' for a free shipment of them biscuits. :sneaky2:

Hey Sarge

I have not made a reflector oven in years. It's on my to-do-list.

Getting metal cans & materials nowadays is tough. Everything is &!@#$ Plastic.

I do have some info on making one. Its a PDF file from an old boy scout manual.

I can send it to you if you like.

Good solar cooker plan!

Here's an excellent solar cooking site, with a complete write-up about the subject and recipes. Includes how to make a box-type solar oven.

Lanahi, how about heading over to the intro section and telling us about yourself!

You know girl, Chiye's right. All those posts and no intro. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
