We just decided we needed an oven for pastries and same at war, and have been 
discussing it '"ad nausem" on my household and CombatCookery Team lists 
(local) for the last month. This idea of using a smoker as an oven, never 
came up. How would one convert to use it that way? I can see the charcoal in 
the bottom, and it is adustable, has the door, etc. I have two, with oven 
gauges already installed to regulate the heat. Would it just be a matter of 
closing it up and practicing? 

I **like** this. So much easier than transporting fire bricks 70 miles to the 
event....
