This is my first baking test using this Firebox Billy Pot Baking configuration. The low temps were good for the scones but not for the test. The Firebox Billy Pot baking kit is a must have. Hope to bake more in the future. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Nice! There's no such thing as a fail as long as you've learned something and had some fun doing it. When I place rocks in the bottom of the pot it's not only to regulate the internal temperature of the oven but it is also to absorb heat out of the sidewall of the pot to prevent that stainless steel material from overheating which can cause damage if the temperature gets too high.
I will definitely be using some rocks the next time. Is there a type of rocks or medium that's best for this application from your experience? I'm just trying to stay away from exploding rocks, lol Thank again!
I used to use ceramic blind baking beads as a heat sink in the bottom, they are quite light but small and a bit pesky to use. I now use hammered forged steel spheres about 20mm diameter (3/4”)
They don’t roll about so easily and are great as a heat sink that helps hold temperatures when opening the lid for inspection and spreading the heat from whatever heat source one is using.
Might well make some scones later as it’s a beautiful day to be outside.
I love me some scones... not sure why, lol Thanks for the information and sure everyone who sees your comment will appreciate it too. Thanks for watching and appreciate the support! Cheers!
If you had a dog, you would never have fails, only dog treats. You may want to blow the ash off your charcoal to allow them to burn better. As the dutch oven cooks are fond of saying, "Ash holds no heat".
Either way, looks like you're having fun with your Firebox stuff. My kids just gifted me the coffee kit, so I've been pretty wired lately. That Aeropress really does make a fantastic cup of coffee.
Sorry to say that I lost two dogs the past couple of years to age, I don't think my heart can take that kind of loss again. On a lighter note, I will definitely blow the ashes off next time and it's great to hear that you are wired on coffee. I've been testing a moka type coffee brewer and shooting expresso regularly myself. I'm pretty sure I will be doing a review on that soon. Thanks again for watching, cheers!

Welcome aboard!
Trangia flame too concentrated a heat source maybe? How about sticks burned down to coals, and add small rocks under the pan shelf to absorb heat like Steve does...
I agree that the trangia flame is too concentrated. I used the foil wrap to block and disperse the heat. When I bench tested this setup in my skunk works (aka basement), I had pretty equal temps at the top and bottom of the Billy. The only difference is the ambient temp. The Billy is great at conducting heat but not holding it, so colder temps really affect it. As you said, the use of rocks or other medium to hold the heat is going to be a future test. I came out of this with more questions and many ideas, more to come on that. Thanks for watching, cheers!
@@offcourseoutdoors8366 A good try and great info, thanks 👍 Got my 3 Qt Billy Pot recently, look forward to using it.
