Instructions: Use Kingsford charcoal, this is not a commercial, but the bargain brands seem not to last as long. If not Kingsford, try lump charcoal instead of briquettes. It lights easier and burns hotter. If a #12 oven is used, place 14 briquettes on top and 10 on the bottom. That puts the temp as close as you can get to 350 degrees. Try placing heavy duty aluminum foil on the ground between the oven and the charcoal. This will leave no trace of your fire and help reflect the heat to the oven. Next best is to carefully loosen the sod in a 14in circle down to a depth of 4in. Put the charcoal in the pit and then place the oven in the pit. Be sure to cover the pit after cooking to leave no trace of your fire.
