OK as promised cardboard oven experiment, my wife found me some monster skewers the rest is cardboard with tinfoil stuck on with PVA glue, I've had it up to 200C with a trangia burner in the bottom, it's just a matter of leaving enough ventilation and you can use whatever you like so long as it sits in the bottom ( not in direct contact) most camp type burners will do or hot coals in a steel bowl. Sorry it's sideways :lol:

I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
