Coleman camp oven?

[87Warrior]

Coop - Looks like your best friend is ready for breakfast!

I have had great success with the flimsy folding Coleman oven. I use it on a basic 2 burner propane Coleman stove (centered over one burner with the wind screen folded in so the oven will sit square) and have never had a heat problem in the high altitude and cool temps of CO. Hot cobbler at 11,000' is quite a treat The oven does require a bit of your attention to maintain temperature and baking with the rack as high as possible helps prevent those blacked bottoms.

This is the oven we are using! I am converting the oven to run on our pop up propane system.

I like that set up too but it requires a lot of space and I have been told it is fragile so handle with care...

Yeah, it will be living in a case. Plus, I have lots of space. My coleman electric cooler on one side, this on the other, the other things on the teraflex shelf as well. no issue for a weekend for us.

After a bit of use please report back with your impressions...

Another thumbs up for the collapsible Coleman oven. Used it hunting in the 20 30 degree weather and worked great!!

You need to add a Flame Tamer inside the oven! I found it evens the heat inside...

Walmart usually has them for about $35. I have one, but have only tried it once and burnt the hell out of some cinnamon rolls while the wife was napping in the RTT. :chowtime:

There is no open flame in the oven... on the bottom section there is already a flame disperser that is built in...

I have one of those ovens but never had any luck with it on any of my coleman stoves (gas or propane), then one day my wife said I should try her stove, one of those Asian supermarket butane stoves, tried that and it worked great and have been using that stove with the Coleman oven ever since.

I love my oven. It packs up nice and fits in one of my rear drawers. I did find that the thermometer that came with it was not accurate, so i have another temp gauge that i use.

Great idea! I'm going to try same with my Iwatani.

I wonder why one heat source would work and not the other. As I said I use my old coleman propane...

maybe its the space around the base.. the butane stove doesnt have as big of gaps and would be warmer with less air agitation due to winds? ??

Used mine over the weekend, hot cinnamon rolls on a cold morning kept even the cranky little campers happy. Paid for itself immediately. One thing I did notice is the "washer" behind the door latch knob seems to have gotten a bit crusty already, anything to worry about?

Seeing that oven over the butane stove makes me a bit scared, though. Make sure you don't have ANY part of the oven over the hatch that houses the fuel bottle - you have to be careful not to reflect any heat down into the bottle area (especially for long cooks) - there have been occasional explosions!
