Oven

[BrandonCormier]

Does anyone have a design for a home made camp oven? Maybe one to go on top of the stove or over a camp fire? I have a few ideas but would like to see some others before I make something that doesnt function.

Hard to beat cast iron dutch ovens.

Coleman makes a folding oven for about $70.00. They work well on a gas stove and can be used over a campfire with care.

As far as plans for making one just look at pictures of the Coleman and copy it.

If you have a cast iron dutch oven, then you have a camp oven. You can bake anything in a DO.

This is kind of cool. It would be hard to make something for less.

That last one, a dedicated propane oven, looks like a good deal.

It looks almost big enough to really bake in.

Thanks for the pointer

They do great! There's a little learning curve to controlling the flame/temp as they don't have a thermostat but, a little attention & I learned pretty quickly. This was Sunday morning breakfast at Gunner Pool NF C/G in the Arkansas Ozarks couple of years ago. I've also cooked lotsa biscuits for the Saturday morning breakfast at the LCG's - along with cornbread to accompany the beanpot

Academy's carrying a $169 propane stove with an oven and 2-burner cooktop.

I have a Weber 100 grill. I also use it as an oven. I have baked bisquets, rolls, cakes and cookies. Works great.

Nobody. still like the idea of the propane oven. I know I have asked you last year about a broiling a steak in one.

what all can one cook in one of them things??????????? Slowcowboy.

Don't know of any way to broil a steak in the Coleman oven as the burner is on the bottom & underneath a 'flame shield'. I suppose you could use an accessory pan but it wouldn't be broiled, just baked, & the grease splatter might (probably would ) cause a little excitement if (when?) it caught fire. As for what all you can cook - anything you normally bake as long as it fits in the oven. I've baked everything from biscuits to corn bread, cookies, shepherd's pie, corn casserole, etc. Even 'heated' a couple of loaves of garlic french bread to go with Madjack's Cajun gumbo at the LCG. This thing is about as versatile as you want it to be...

Darn 'Critical ERROR' got me on a double post...

The Coleman folding oven works well on a propane stove baking for two. We have used it for biscuits and it packs away well.

I have a Coleman folding oven that I got at a yard sale many years ago. It folds up to about 2" thick so it's easy to pack. I also like that it has a temp guage so I don't have to guess.

interesting harvy you got me thinking. I might get my buddies to like my teardrop if I improve the camp food is on on my mind. I am a sucker for trying new things for recipes and some corn bread or bisquits or such would go great with a camp meal.

now I am thinking on this topic. slowcowboy.

Go for it Slow. Any of the 'external' ovens whether a 'stand-alone' propane, the folding Coleman ovens that set on your Coleman burner, a 'reflector' oven in front of a campfire, or even a dutch oven; all require a learning curve & some experimentation to discover the right 'heat source setting' to get the cooking temperature you want. Once you've mastered that it's a simple matter to cook the dish(es) desired. I've found that in my propane oven it pays to 'turn' the cooking pan a time or two during baking to get a more even 'brown'. Been several years since I scorched the bottom of the biscuits before the tops browned . We've shared a breakfast of hot biscuits'n honey with nearby hiker/campers on numerous occasions over the years, always to effusive thanks for the meal & admiring comments on the TD. Nuthin' like fresh bread or other goodies hot from the oven to 'break the ice' with fellow campers, especially in remote/back country campgrounds.
