N.Thornton described a way to make your own stove top oven and answered
some of my questions about it, but I am still confused about it.

I was contemplating an arrangement of the following sort:
Take a large, deep cast iron sauce pan, put a wok base inside it,
set a small cookie sheet (I've never actually seen them so smalll)
or aluminum pie plate on the wok base, cover it and heat it on the
stove to preheat. Then put dough in the cookie sheet or pie plate,
cover and heat it.

Is that an acceptable oven? And is this really better than a toaster oven?

I just did a google search for "stovetop oven". One of the hits is
http://www.asseenontvandmore.com/baistov.html
which sells one for about $30. I don't know if they are any good for
baking bread or rolls nor whether they are any better than any of the
other options we've mentioned for baking without a conventional oven.

Ignorantly,
Allan Adler
