I always put what I'm baking in a dish or tin anyway, because those are easier to clean than the oven. And the baking time ought to be faster than a modern oven (although not dramatically so) because the temperature is more constant. Also, he may want to get a piece of tile or slate to put under the oven, since that will hold the heat better than plain old dirt.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.
