1 can pineapple rings

1 small bag pecans

1 small jar maraschino cherries

1/2 cup brown sugar

Line Dutch oven with foil.  Grease and flour well.  Layer bottom of oven with pineapple rings.  Save juice.  Use pecans and maraschino cherries to fill in holes.  Sprinkle over pineapple: brown sugar,2 tbs pineapple juice, 4 to 5 pats margarine.  Prepare cake mix.  Use rest of pineapple juice as liquid in mix.  Pour into oven.  Cover and eat oven.  Use 6 briquettes on bottom and 18 on top.  Keep briquettes in a 1 to 3 ratio to keep up heat.  Bake 20-30 minutes.  Let oven cool.  Place foiled cardboard on top of cake and invert oven to remove cake.  Slowly peel off foil from cake.  Serve.
