I agree about the lids, but I use the flat bottom ones outside by simply setting them up on stones, tent pegs or a low grill.
I sometimes hang them over the fire from a tripod too.

So if you do have one with a flat bottom it will still work quite well.

The right lids are getting harder to find for them, and they do make a difference in how well the oven works.


Lodge still makes them for the BSA. They have legs, and a nice raised edge around the rim on the top so the ash from the coals doesn't end up in your pot. It's got some heft to it, about 20 lbs for the 6 quart 12 inch version. ($65) It's on www.scoutstuff.org
(I think you can buy the same one from Lodge without the BSA logo for a little less)
