Cardboard box
Foil tape
Box cutters
Aluminum foil
4 soda can
Weight ( dried bean, sand, dirt, rocks)
Dry rack
Pie sheet
Charcoal briquettes

Wrap foil inside and outside of the box until there is not cardboard showing. Make sure to use the foil tape.
Take the box outside to a safe location.
Heat up the coals.
Take empty soda cans and add weight to each can so it won’t fall inside the box.
Place the cans on the 4 corners of the box, and place the wire rack on top of the cans.

I appreciate the time you took to produce this video. Thank you for the tip about removing the plastic packaging tape and replacing with foil tape :) I was excited to try this design because I liked the flip open cover. Unfortunately, the bottom of my box caught on fire. The heat transferred through the foil to the cardboard bottom. I wonder how your box didn't catch on fire? I had more success with the style where you cut the flaps off of the box and line the inside with foil. The box is then placed over the top of the food to be cooked. The box is propped open with something like a rock, to allow for some ventilation. The rest of the set-up is similar to your design with the cans and the rack. For those who doubted or commented about the heat...Yes, it does work! Yes, it does get hot ~350 degrees = 10 briqs. ALWAYS USE SAFETY! Use oven mitts to remove box. Check food periodically. Always keep away from flammable material and keep water on standby. Also, foil tape can be found at a home/garden store.

[@umami6462]

350 fahrenheit or celsius? i know you can bake a cake in a cardboard box without catching on fire as long as it doesn't reach 451 degrees fahrenheit, so i was wondering if it still applied?

[@MinaFats]

Should be direct sunlight?

[@ginanishihara7443]

@@MinaFats yes, you want to make sure that the box is exposed to the sunlight. I positioned mine in my backyard at home, and in an open area near the fire pit when outdoor camping. NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED. KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMMABLE MATERIALS/OBJECTS. HAVE WATER NEARBY IN CASE IT CATCHES ON FIRE. USE HEAVY DUTY GLOVES/OVEN MITTS. Happy baking!

[@MinaFats]

Got it- thank you so much!@@ginanishihara7443

[@alexciarupert5254]

Am I the only one that nevered heard of foil tape

[@berry186]

ilovefood132 yeah walmart has it in the camping or similar section just ask an associate.

[@seasonforallart2635]

Nooooo same

[@angeloa6972]

basically aluminum foil but with a stick side, and is in strips

[@yeehawpartner131]

+AnJell-O thanks!

[@jacobhofius2528]

@@berry186 cool tape is actually automotive tape which is a metal tape (very sharp). My dad used it sometimes when doing a quick (temparary) holding together of joints before welding them together (he's an aircraft mechanic.

[@steveg5382]

I made one of these and it works great. I stole the handle from an old Weber kettle cover so the door is easier to open and close. I also stuck a thermometer onto the top!

[@lisafrei2073]

Great video. Scouts have been doing this for years with no problem.

what could possibly go wrong

[@Anthonyist]

1 fire and a 911 call later...

[@buttercup__1]

+Anthonyist how did that happen? I followed all the rules....

You didn't press the secret button did you?

[@buttercup__1]

Anthonyist ummmm......maybe?

[@Anthonyist]

Well that explains it. You opened a portal to a fire dimension. c(-_-c)

[@livvyginnygrey4001]

heyyy how long did the cookies take to bake

[@Mewyourface]

Im noticing you guys don’t have diy clothed hampers. New sprung idea 💡

[@jemmaj2919]

handy for camping if u r fussy and want fresh cookies!!

[@KPLaiaacona]

can i cook ribs though?

[@tonyliu5427]

xtraordinarymachine yes you can

I'm going to have to try this tomorrow and then come back and leave a comment on whether it works or not

[@hippieHawk]

Would adding sand instead of pebbles make a difference?

[@cinammoned3874]

Wow

[@101Us]

Why dose the music remind me of goat simulator

[@emmakaiser9901]

This is pretty cool. Just wondering: how hot would this oven get?

[@UnKnown-oh4fs]

As hot as the coal given enough time.

[@optionsuser6356]

I've had mine up to 500F. That was too hot to cook my 5lb roast so I had to let it cool.

[@Emme-gy8ml]

What was the music tho?

[@parrotafrica2996]

I have seen people bake biscuits in their car with a using a tray lol ...

[@DougCoughler]

Might be a cheap way to make a smoker, actually.

[@HongHanh8183]

Is that true?

[@veerugowda919]

😘😘😘

[@olive_0.]

Wouldn't it have to be sunny because right now in England its winter and it's snowing

[@UnKnown-oh4fs]

No because the heat comes from the coals they place inside the box.

[@optionsuser6356]

What a stupid remark.

[@olive_0.]

@@optionsuser6356 are you okay, that was from 3 year ago, no need to be so snarky??

[@annasouvorov701]

Can you do this in winter?

[@optionsuser6356]

Why would that make a difference? Of course it can be done in winter.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

I have heard as long as it is sunny.

[@MinaFats]

@@MaLiArtworks186 should be direct sunlight or not?

[@razee.8303]

Wow! Better get my “useful” *cardboard box* and get to work for like, 8 hours, trying to figure out how to do it and figure out a design! And then wait for maybe a few more days waiting for things to cook, when I’m in Alaska! Wait, who the fuck has time for that? *Nobody. That’s who.*

[@rainbowpancakes9795]

mystical c.a.k.e It's actually really simple. Did it in 4th grade...of course, I live in Arizona heat tho. 😧 EDIT: NVM they have charcoal and other complicated stuff. You don't need it. Just a black box and some tinfoil. (With heat from the sun)

[@optionsuser6356]

Are you being cynical? It take no more time to bake/cook something than it would in a gas or electric oven.

[@jerrycat1508]

are they putting rabbit turds in those cans

[@optionsuser6356]

Now...how heavy do you think rabbit turds are? I will tell you...not very.

[@reneek7721]

I would use the taller box so that I could put another rack for more food. Just sayin.

[@Skaolloaks]

This will come in useful soon when 85% of the nation ends up homeless from a combination of economic crash & environmental disasters.

[@Quinnstalis]

"How to make anything a fire hazard"

[@optionsuser6356]

A "fire hazard" you say? So...foil stops the cardboard from burning. I have several box ovens and have done 5lb roasts in the big one...many times. No...there is NO fire hazard.

[@optionsuser6356]

Why? They don't ever touch the food.

Why would you do this in the winter there is literally snow on the ground… Just why
