artjrk 11 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 We have a unique opportunity to have our boys featured in an article for Boys Life demonstrating cooking with a reflector oven. We have some basic ideas of items to cook, Biscuits, Cornbread, Brownies (for me) and pan pizza. Does any one have any other cool ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
Lisabob 13 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 A couple of years ago my son's patrol got onto a box oven kick, had a lot of fun with it (and box oven pie became a staple at their camp outs for a while). While the link I'm posting here is actually for dutch oven cooking, I think many of these recipes could be done using a box oven too. http://www.idosmedia.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=20 Link to post Share on other sites
artjrk 11 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 We made the cut for the May issue. http://boyslife.org/outdoors/outdoorarticles/12765/great-reflector-oven-recipes/ It was below freezing that day. Ever tried cutting shortening into flour when its that cold? Kids had a blast and ate well. My favorite was the Cardiapple Arrest. It's an original concoction made up at a previous campout when the SPL was digging through the food boxes. Note the marshmallows in the photo. Link to post Share on other sites

BeginnerScout 10 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 artjrk, I read the article online. That's really cool that your Troop was able to do that. I've used camp ovens in my younger days. However, since getting back into camping with my Scout, I've been looking for a camp oven and have not been able to find the kind that we used to use. The one we used went on top of a small camp stove. It was a little tricky and cumbersome, but it worked. Your reflector stove sounds like it may be a good alternative. Can you post the info on where you obtained your stoves? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
