Here we go againt with the home-made story: I have fashioned pretty effective reflector ovens on the spot from the heaviest aluminum foil and from aluminum flashing, a hardware store bulk item. These materials are backpack-able, can be used several times on a trip, and, of course, they should be packed out and properly disposed. I have found that a very small fire is enough, though it must be maintained for the ~30 minute baking time. An alternative for (crustless) baking is to put the dough in a "baking bag" (supermarket item), closed loosely, place on a steamer rack in a closed cookpot, and keep the 1/2 inch (1+ cm) of water just boiling for ~18 minutes. Practice on your kitchen stove, then in your backyard. You can easily trade a few crumbs of this for diswashing services for the rest of your trip. — Jeff ORBS Bear Canisters – $68 delivered in USA, US$73 in Canada     http://home.pacbell.net/orbs/bc-homepage.html

They weren’t the manufacturers but were simply acting as distributors. Ask any retailer who carriers their products to pull out the catalogue and check for you. As a different suggestion, if you like to bake when you’re on your trips, have a look at the Outback Oven. A really nifty toy that produces some first rate baked goodies on the trail.

For years, I’ve been trying to locate a manufacturer of reflector ovens. These are fold-up affairs (folding up to about 1.5′ x 1.5′) which stand in front of an open fire and quite effectively can be used for baking and such. As a kid with a camp canoe trip through Algonquin, their use became a nightly ritual for the following day’s lunch (bannock biscuits). Every time I see one and ask about it, the person tells me it’s a home-made job (or someone’s uncle makes them or something) Anyone know if there’s a manufacturer in Canada or the U.S.?
