![]() It was really exhilarating publishing my instructable (which is my first) and seeing how many people were viewing and favoriting the instructable. I really enjoyed using the oven and getting outside to cook beside a fire, especially cupcakes with the scouts. First was bread (as seen in the video) second was two batches of cupcakes, and third was another bread. So far, I had used the oven to bake three different times. A hensei takes place at the end of a day, meeting or event and gives people a chance to express what they enjoyed, what went well and what can be improved for next time. Hensei is a Japanese term used in lean manufacturing that translates to "reflection" in english. It can easily fit in a canoe and can also be tied to an external frame pack through the handles to transport on foot. It will not be 100% waterproof, but it is great to store some small pots and other food prep items that can get wet. The oven is also transportable with an additional wooden lid. Cooking times will vary due to fire and weather conditions.Ĭooking with the oven is a lot of fun and gives you great satisfaction with your finished food. If the stick is clean the bread is ready, if it is gooey then it will need a bit more time. A good way to check the bread is to poke a stick in the middle and see if any dough sticks. You may need to turn the food around to prevent the front edge from burning, a pair of leather gloves are a great asset to have around a campfire for tasks such as this. Use the handles to move the oven away from the fire to check on your food. You will need to adjust the oven closer or farther as your fire changes. If you get the oven the perfect distance from the fire you will get even heat on the top, bottom, and back of the food while not burning the front edge. Prop up the back of the oven with a piece of wood and make any needed adjustments as you go. Get a fire burning hot and set the oven close to the edge of the fire, directly in front of the flames. The reflector oven works best with a medium to large pyramid/ platform fire. Prepare your favorite recipe, It can be placed directly on the cookie sheet or in another dish which is placed on top of the cookie sheet. To use the reflector oven, insert the 10.5" x 15" cookie sheet on top of the shelf supports. ![]() Remove the wood and use the hammer to perfect the bend. Clamp the scrap wood and hammer the tabs back 90˚. Next scribe the top, bottom and back bends at the finished sizes on the outside of the oven. Scribe the front edge at the finished size and fold it towards the inside to hide the rough edge. Then fold the front edge over in the opposite direction by 1/4" towards the inside of the oven, these folds will hide the rough edges in the seams so that there are no sharp edges. ![]() Once you have the tin at a 90˚ bend, remove the clamps and wood and continue to hammer the edge back to complete the 180˚ fold.īegin with the sides of the oven by folding the top, bottom and back over by 1/4" towards the outside of the oven. Don't hammer all the way down in one pass as it may cause the tin to kink, use a few passes. Using a hammer begin to hammer from one side to the other and slowly work along the bend. Once a line is scribed, attach some scrap pieces of wood along the line on the good side of the part using some c-clamps. This helps keep the bend following a straight line and gives better results. To shape the tin I used an old chisel to scribe the outside of a bend or fold.
