Actually Bert you can do it on a bar-B-Q grill. Ther is a portable
sheet metal oven available in camping supply store, it has a
thermometer built in and is set up so you can easily raise and lower
it over the hot coals. They control temperature well enough to cook
good loaves of bread and I don't think the transformers are that
touchy.
