[Dorset Lad]

One quick idea for an improvised oven that you may or may not have seen that I did recently with the Scout troup I help out with :-
Light a fire in a metal biscuit or sweets tin, if you can find one or any other tin about 10" dia and 5" deep. (cake tin maybe). Cut the top and bottom from a cardboard box just slightly larger than a cooling tray and cover it completely with tinfoil. Also cover a lid for it. Poke a tent peg diagonally through each corner of the box about a third of the way down to support the corners of the cooling tray and put the tray inside and the box over the fire tin supported on bricks, one each side gives enough air space. Put whatever you want to cook inside in a foil tray, put on the lid and wait for it to cook.
I was surprised how well it worked and only one of the boxes started to smoulder. Probably not covered properly but half a cup of water saved it.
