There can be a lot of self pride in making one's own gear, but if you're interested, Old Scout, a member here on BWCA.com, markets a pretty darn good reflector oven that he has designed through experience.

I've made 4 or 5. I keep refining the design. Current model folds flat, 2 pieces, 2 clip pins and is just big enough to hold a standard pizza. I had plans on a pdf somewhere?....also have paper plans. reflector ovens

I thought about making one a few years back. Once I put a value on my time, I quickly ordered an Old Scout. It's a fine piece of equipment, although I have not yet used it. I ordered it a few weeks before I decided to reduce my pack weight by 50%.

I built one, taking ideas from some of the many plans found here, but looks most like Old Scout's. The hinged back door for peeking at progress is its best feature. It was made out of some rather heavy aluminum sheets (the price of free material) so I hesitate before bringing it on some of our longer trips. Might need to try making another one with some lighter sheets, since we do get a kick out of using it.

Ours is a Stoven. My dad made the plans and cut it all out himself. It can be a 2 burner stove, or can be converted to a reflector oven with a couple quick adjustments. Very lightweight, folds flat. I'll post more pics if interested. Also, it has our name carved out on the top, which is pretty neat.
