Cooking is art, baking is science!


I've been looking for some suitable inexpensive insulation for my
folding Coleman camp oven that will let it heat above 200F atop the
woodstove. So far it has a sheet of Felpro gasketing draped over the
top and sides that gets it to 270F, by thermocouple probe, but the
stuff won't take accidental direct contact with the stove at 600+
degrees.

Naturally I don't want a fibrous or friable material that can get into
the food.

Asbestos shingles might work. Insulating fire brick would work.
