Regarding earlier comment " It's just that I can't get the pie far enough from the flame and embers"

I use a few pieces of heavy sheet steel , 12 inches long, that I bent into a 90 degree angle, 4 inches to each side. In a tee-pee position, I slide them into place right into the side of the fire that I maintain in the back of the oven.

I use them in both my ovens here at home. It allows me to get my pies, or whatever, a little bit closer to the fire without burning.
