Or make your own! Campaign Sign Oven ...the best way to reuse campaign signs!
Do It Yourself Cost with donated signs $10 and they work fabulously. Use at home or take camping. For $5 more add an oven thermometer. Cinamon Rolls made from scratch cooking above. Very little these ovens can't do.
Cardboard Cooker (plans are here--requires a square box or cutting a box in half and then trimming it--Contact Us for a $10 kit includes 1/2 box, plans, glue, 2 oven bags, and thermometer)
