I was trying to think of what to do with all those empty #10 cans.
I used some copper wire and made a hinge for the lid. Made a wire rack out of rabbit hutch screen in the middle to hold the pan up off the bottom.
I set the can on some hot coals, and slide in the goods to be baked in one of those small foil bread pans.
So far I have baked biscuits, pineapple upside down cake, and cornbread.
Its a little tricky until you learn how to regulate the heat by moving coals closer or further away. Close up the lid with a little wire hook made out of the same wire I used.

I made a wire handle in the top to pick it up and set it in the fire.

A BBQ grill thermometer got screwed into the back end at the top to monitor the temperature.

MMMMMM nothing beats hot baked goods on a backpack trip!

Neat. Next time you bake something in that, take a picture of the goods.

This is a great idea............. I would also like to see the baked goods...... This is on my list of projects.

Am appreciative of this. Had not crossed my mind to do this and I like to supply rolls when family camping. C.

very nice. I have done this in smaller (soup) cans. I have also used the can method on a cookstove. The bottom was a little over done while the top was under, but it worked well enough.

This is just a great idea, No Prob Rob. Simple and useful. Thanks for giving me a new project to work on.
