Abstract: A system and method for a portable, space and weight efficient cooking solution that permits baking and other alternative cooking solutions. The system includes a heat conductive container having a container bottom and a container sidewall extending upwardly from the container bottom to form a container opening; a container lid generally sealing the container opening, the container lid including a double-wall defining a space including one or more vents communicated outside the container; and a heat-conducting chimney, communicated through the container bottom into the space of the container lid when the container lid seals the container, for conducting combustion gases from the open flame when the flame is proximate the container bottom through the container without the combustion gasses entering into the container, the combustion gasses entering into the space and exiting through the one or more vents.
