CARD BOARD BOX OVEN

 

Find a corrugated cardboard box about 2 inches larger around than a cookie sheet. Make sure it has an intact bottom and top "ears". Cut the bottom out all the way around and secure together with duct tape. Line the box inside and out with heavy duty aluminum foil and secure seams with duct tape. Cut foil at the corners to free "ears". This is for venting. Line the lid with foil and secure seams with duct tape. Get eight wire coat hangers and snip the hook off below the twist and straighten. Punch holes in the box about 6 inches from the top, then push hanger wires thorough to make a rack. Four on the end and four on the side. Make a weaving pattern with the hangers. Start a charcoal fire with 6-8 briquettes in an old metal pie pan. Place a piece of foil on the ground shiny side up. Put the pie pan on the foil and place the oven over the pie pan. Put your food to be baked on the rack and cover with the lid. If you have a meat thermometer, stick it into the box just below the rack. 6-8 briquettes should bring temp to 325-350. Add or take out to adjust temp. This should be done before starting to bake.
