Box ovens are a fun way to bake outdoors. The following YouTube video is one way you could make a box oven. Make sure you have do not cover your ventilation holes.
The box ovens we use at camp only have 5 sides. We lay foil on the ground, then the hot coals on top and tip the box upside down. Make sure you have ventilation holes. I find the ventilation holes work best that are near the ground.
Try baking your favorite cake or something new.
