Corrugated Box Oven

Each patrol must supply their own corrugated box oven. It may be of any design but shown below is a suggested design:

  1. Use a heavy corrugated box (a copier/computer paper box works very well) and must have a lid (here again, the lid from the paper box works well).
     
  2. Line the inside of the box and lid with heavy duty aluminum foil. The foil lining the box must extend around the lip of the box to the outside surface.
     
  3. Punch a few heavy wires (uncoated coathanger wire works very well) through the side of the box, about half-way up.
     
  4. Charcoal (from your cooking fire) should be placed in an aluminum pie pan and either suspended on a wire rack as shown in the diagram or placed on top of a couple of level rocks. Keep the hot charcoal off the bottom of the oven but not too near the cooking platform.
