I was interested in the Wilderness ovens but now willing to cough up $40 for one. I had enjoyed the results on one on a 16 day boundary waters trip. So when I soloed for 8 days, I took some small packaged mixes of muffins and cornbread and decided to try and make a stove. I bought a 99 cent pie pan, found 3 little pebbles, all the same height, found a little pan from a cook set for 2 and took my 10 in frying ban. I also bought a flame disperser for my MSI stove. I lit the stove, put on the flame disperser after setting the flame as low as it would go and still stay lit, set in my 3 pebbles and set in the small pan on top of the pebbles, after filling it with prepared mix. Then I covered the whole with my frying pan turned upside down and waited about 25 minutes. Then checked with a twig to see if the middle was done. Voila- baked goods from a cheap, light oven. An addition would be to take the aluminum cupcake liners and put them in the baking pan and fill individual servings of cupcake mix. The other way requires one to cut the product into slices. Biscuits and other stiff dough could be formed and packed in and then broken apart at the end. I would think a pizza crust could either be partially cooked, turned, and loaded or put in and then loaded. All this is a lot of fun on layover days.
