    The document provides plans for two portable reflector ovens for backpacking. Both ovens are lightweight, weighing only 15 ounces each and fitting into an envelope for transport. One oven is rigid, with interlocking slots for the reflector and rack. The other has a hinged back for easier access while cooking. Aluminum sheets can be used to construct three of the ovens. Instructions are included for making a jig to cut slots for the oven sides. The pivoting reflector is attached with a threaded rod. The rigid oven has no moving parts, so the position of food cannot be adjusted without moving the entire oven.

    Backpacker's Reflector Oven


    When you must carry all your equipment, ounces and space become important. Here are two ovens. Each
    fits into an envelope and weighs only 15 ounces. One oven fits together by sliding the reflector and rack
    tongues into the slots of the sides this oven is rigid. The other model features a hinged back that lets you
    reposition biscuits in comfort from the back. Aluminum is sold in 36by36 inch sheets enough for
    three ovens. Of course, if you prefer larger ovens, you can make only two.
    1. Make a fray jig for the side pieces. The jig should extend beyond the bench and be large enough to clamp
    securely to the bench. Frame the sides with lath or scrap plywood, but leave an opening in the front for a
    saber saw. Drill holes for the saw blade and cut slots in the jig. Make stop marks on the frames for the saw
    guides.
    2. The top reflector pivots on a threaded rod that is rolled into the top edge. When the oven is taken apart,
    thread the nuts on the rod. The walls, trapping the tongues in the slots, are not needed because they can be
    replaced by small pointed sticks.
    3. The rigid oven has no moving parts. If you must change the position of a biscuit, you must either move
    the oven or work close to the fire. There are no small parts to pack.
