Cool! Indirect heat from ashes seems less than ideal, but putting hot coals into the ash-tray below the food would be a stellar way to have a good deal of control over the heat in the oven. Hell, it sounds a lot like they’re describing my neighbor’s Big Green Egg grill.
For the “added olive oil”, yep! That’d be how I’d expect they’d fry their aebleskivers. Grease up the pan, heat it from below with the coals at a medium heat, add a little more oil just before you pour in the batter, cook for a minute until they set at the bottom, turn them 90 degrees, cook again, and repeat until you have a pancake ball. Pop them out as they’re done and add batter when you have an open cup.
