2. The second type of oven is built as follows: This is a permanent type of oven and remains stationary during the camp trip. Locate the site for your own camp fire. At the very edge of the fire drive 2 stakes an inch in diameter into the ground so they are at least 15 inches above the ground and 18 inches apart. Directly in back of these stakes and in line with them 16 inches back drive 2 similar stakes. Now tie cross pieces 9 inches from the ground on both the front and rear stakes. Stretch a piece of foil across these two horizontal sticks so it is rigid and tucked in around both sticks. This is the shelf. Now tie cross pieces on the front stakes six inches above and six inches below the shelf. Stretch Reynolds Wrap from the bottom cross piece back around the outside of the shelf and up to the top cross piece. Tuck it in securely and the oven is ready for baking. Caution: When heavy articles such as hamburgers, chops, etc. are placed on the shelf, distribute the weight. Take care not to overload the shelf. Eight to ten biscuits can be baked at one time. When the front row is browned, move it to the back and the back row to the front. (Best results can be obtained with reflector ovens by using a double thickness of Reynolds Wrap.)
Reynolds Wrap is now standard equipment on all fishing, camping and hiking trips.
Biscuits in a jiffy. In front of a hot fire biscuits bake in ten minutes. In this type of oven they must be turned when done on top.
For biscuits or camp bread. The tang of hot biscuits and jam puts zest into any camp trip. Reynolds Wrap makes the oven. Use any prepared biscuit mix.
“whole chicken in foil”
Clean a ¾ pound fowl and fasten securely on a green wood spit. Wrap bird with two wrappings of Reynolds Wrap and press ends firmly on spit to seal. (Wrap exposed parts of spit to insulate from fire.) Turn occasionally and cook over coals for one hour and fifteen minutes. Remove wrap and brown further over coals if desired. The spit should not be farther than 8-10 inches from the coals. The fact that Reynolds Wrap is being used will eliminate constant turning as all of the moisture of the bird is sealed in. It can be left in one position up to fifteen minutes before turning again.
