Another thing to do with pumpkin pies is to pour the filling into the pie shell as close to the oven as possible! I'd put the shell into the Dutch oven and then fill it.

It was fun watching you try this. 😂 I remember learning how to cook, in the Girl Scouts, over a fire and with coals. We used a reflector oven, kind of like your box but on its side by the fire to cook rolls. And the pie, we lined our Dutch over with foil, easier to clean it if there were spills. We used coals from the fire . Brings back memories. 😊

I wish I had 4 or 5 Dutch ovens. Once you figure them out, they do a great job on almost everything, especially the rolls. My current problem is that I can't practice. Where I am in the mountains of Colorado, we are under a burn ban, so no open fires...including charcoal. I do have a good wood stove and lots of firewood, and I thought ahead and picked my stove with a cook surface on the top. I so appreciate all the videos you do! I wish we were neighbors, you are such fun to watch. If we end up off grid for some time, we all need to know our neighbors and check on them often. God bless you and have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family.

Regarding the rolls, it could be that crescent rolls were invented after the advent of modern ovens. It seems like in earlier eras, just regular rolls or biscuits were most common. Probably because that's what baked best with the available methods in those eras.

I love this wonderful video! So far - I have not followed you very long - but every single one has inspired me and set my brain working. In (much) older times my dad was one to use his outdoor charcoal grill to try all kinds and ways of cooking. he even pushed the charcoal into a bucket of water at the end of cooking in order not to 'Just Waste" the charcoal bits that had not burn up. Now - regarding the rolls. Our indoor ovens are lined - top, bottom and sides - with Solid metal - the heat comes at the pie and rolls from all directions. That is why we pre-heat the oven. Perhaps placing a cookie sheet or two to the inside Top of your Cardboard and Foil oven would work. My idea would be to try to affix the cookie sheets to the inside of the top by sliding a piece of clothes hanger wire long enough to poke through the corners Diagonally in order to support the corners and that will keep them on place. All this would be done - not only well ahead of time but also with the "homemade oven" upside down - cookie sheets first then cloths hanger wires next.so the cookie sheet would be close to the top. Just a thought...

You can make an oven like this: Option 1: Have your dough prepared and make a snake like long roll then put it in on the edge of your Dutch oven and place the lid, it is now sealed, this technique is used in dum biryani Option 2: For those who does not have a Dutch oven , take a wok put 1 cup of thick salt ( this salt can be repurposed infinite amount of time for such applications) then put your trivets or bowl or any other thing to provide height and then placed your pie plate/ pizza plate and cover this with a normal plate, it acts as a oven. Now, in option 1 it will take less time as there is a pressure and in option 2 it will take relatively more time. Edit: in these two option you can cook it directly over stove. It goes without saying that it will work over fire/ coals.

Hi Pam. Can you place the pie plate with crust in the Dutch oven then pour the filling while it's over the flame then close the lid? The pie can be removed by lifting the rack out with 2 bent hooks. Your croissants and pie both look beautiful. I cooked off grid for 4 months when my ex and I moved onto our 3 1/3 acres. We moved onto an empty lot that needed electricity installed and the gas burners converted to propane. In the meantime, he built a grill and we learned really fast how to get it right. No gadgets or fancy things like a generator. We also used a portajohn until we had the septic installed. Try holding a flaming stick over the rolls to brown them.

I learned how to use a box oven when my daughter was in girl scouts. It is fun to make cinnamon rolls or pizza, etc. while camping. I put my window (made with a turkey roasting bag) on the top of my box so I can just look down in. Also, I prop my pan up on small pinneapple juice cans. I wonder if you lid holder isn't tall enough? They taught us to arrange the coals in a checkerboard pattern covering the whole space under the box. The box is elevated on little rocks, enough so that I can push extra coals in around the edges as needed without lifting the box. I do mine on the ground so I have access all the way around. Fun times! Also, have you discovered Kent Rollins videos on dutch oven cooking? I have learned a lot from him too. Thank you for your lovely videos!

Excellent experiments Jim & Pam! I second the idea of using a dutch oven for the rolls as well. I realize that the pies and the rolls will be baked on different days, but I think the extra work would be worth it.

I used to keep an electric cooler in my vehicle for when I go shopping in the big city an hour away. I could plug it into my car. It came in handy in the SUMMER time to keep meat, eggs, cheese from spoiling. However, in the winter or in a grid down in cold season I could just set it outside or in a cooler with no ice. When the BIG EMP hits all electronic devices will be worthless. That's why I want to practice using No modern conveniences. That digital thermometer will be worthless. Even the Bluetti will be worthless. We are looking at the potential of being knocked back into the dark ages. No computers. That's what I'm preparing for. Cold Dark Winter.
