Geezer's Cookbook
Find a corrugated cardboard box about 2 in larger
around than a cookie
sheet. Make sure it has an intact bottom and top "ears".
Cut the bottom
out all the way around and secure together with duct
tape.
Line the box inside and out with heavy duty aluminum
foil and secure seams
with duct tape. Cut foil at the corners to free "ears".
This is for
venting. Line the lid with foil and secure seams with
duct tape.
Get four wire coat hangers and snip the hook off below
the twist and
straighten. Punch holes in the box about 6 in from
the top, then push
hanger wires thorough to make a rack.
To Use:
Start a charcoal fire with 6-8 briquettes in an old
metal pie pan. Place
a piece of foil on the ground shiny side up. Put the
pie pan on the foil
and place the oven over the pie pan. Put your food
to be baked on the
rack and cover with the lid. If you have a meat thermometer,
stick it
into the box just below the rack. 6-8 briquettes should
bring temp to
325-350. Add or take out to adjust temp. This should
be done before
starting to bake.
