Great video. I use a square pizza stone inside mine in the bottom as a heat sink and I made a carbon felt insulating blanket for it. Works great.

PRO TIP: use cotter pins to hold that rack in place. 👍🏽 Use a square pizza stone on the bottom to maintain and even out the heat.

Where do you insert the cotter pins?

I saw that an unglazed tile in the bottom and a welding blanket wrapped around the sides and top(not front) really really helps!

welding blanket doesn't really help much for baking but it does help prevent people from getting burned.

Wow, that oven by Coleman has been around for decades 🥰. As a kid I camped/fished with my parents. On one trip the family nextdoor to our campsite had one of those. The lady made homemade pizzas in it. I remember that like it was yesterday. I was so impressed and would have gladly traded my fried fish dinner for some of that pizza 😂.

I been using them for 45 yrs.. the first one I still have but the grate rusted in storage on a edge of the rack and a few rungs rusted through. Have not been able to find a replacement. Bought second 5 yrs ago because I heard colman was going to stop making them. I spent weeks out camping with this oven. I cook anything I cook at home in it.makes great bread, turnovers, pizza, cornbread. Fish, meatloaf. I made a lasagna several times in it.. you can use medium coals under it. No fire though. A campfire is to hot for the metal of the oven. Don't place directly on coals. It can work the bottom metal.

I was just given an old Butterfly brand camp oven that was my grandfather. very similar to this just doesn't collapse down. but it has a glass door to see Inside. was very impressed cooking cornbread and biscuits on the 4th of July weekend camp. thanks for sharing!

I have in of the original ones and just love it. I've baked sooo much and things come out nice and browned.

Here 3 years later! After the texas freeze, looking for ways to cook when the power is out. Great video, thx!

thanks again for taking your time to share with us wish you the best my friend

Excellent review and directions for use. We trout fished and dry camped all over Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado with the original version of this and it was great! This one is even better. And it’s works as great today as it was all those years ago. Brings back such happy memories. ( you are right-there’s a bit of a learning curve at first, but then, very useful! ) 😎👍

Great affordable item. Thanks for sharing!! Thorough review as always!!

used one for many years. loved it.

I really like this oven! Never knew about them.thank you for the video.

I've had one of those since the late 60's and it still works great ;-)) I've got it in one of my INCH (I'm Never Coming Home) bags along with a Coleman stove and other cooking items ;-)) Try latching the bottom the same way you did the top, on it's side ;-)) Thanks for sharing this, brings back old memories of cooking in mine :-))

Thinking about using this on job sites for lunch🍴

That's a handy tool. I've made bannock bread on a stick and in a can. I'll have to look into one of those.

I have used one of these for a long time and love it. As you said, once you use it a bit, it goes together much easier. We always take it along on trips where weight is not an issue.

The first thing we cooked in it was some french bread pizza's on a camping trip and they turned out really nice, all the kids loved them! i know these can be a little pricey but i think worth the money!

I wonder if adding or modifying a bbq grill vent make make it more efficient.....don't mind me, I just have to tinker with things to see what happens.

Nutnfancy did a video awhile back and made pizza, I ran out and got one for just the reason you talked about for home use. One thing I did is cut a door in the top to view in to it, cuts heat loss and vents heat off. What can I say I was home for a month with a work injury and got bored. lol great vid.

Please consider that most candles give off a lot of smoke and soot. If a large number of candles are being used for decorations (holiday or party) they can/do set off smoke detectors. We learned that the hard way. If I had any other heat alternative I wouldn't want to eat food with candle soot on it.

good video

Wouldn't use this with a butane stove - have heard that if the area over the canister gets too hot the canister can explode.

@THerd-um5tl

2 жыл бұрын

It most certainly can explode. Some of these stoves have a hose that allows connection of a 1lb cylinder that sits a foot away from the stove, and that appears safe to me, but using the internal canister is asking for trouble. The instructions accompanying these small gas stoves all warn against using a large pan that covers the canister, because it concentrates heat on the fuel. If the pressure gets too high, the top of these cylinders (which are just crimped on like a can of vegetables) can blow off and the fuel will ignite, causing serious injury or death. Also, make certain you are only using propane canisters with a built in vent that is supposed to release pressure before an explosion. It will be clearly marked as such.

What particular Coleman one burner stove does it fit on? I quit using mine because it always felt preciously balanced on my Coleman stove and wasted a lot of heat.

@@Iridium242 I have used mine several times on my coleman single burner propane stove while using the two burner for making breakfast. I use a pizza stone to even out the heat. I have used it to make biscuits and cupcakes without a problem. Actually not a true statement as one time the wind was blowing and I didn't have a shield so the biscuits took for ever. I have since also made a welding blanket cover to go over the oven that helps greatly to hold in the heat and saves fuel. How to make the blanket is on youtube but I don't remember the site.

It's better to use on a bigger grill not so precarious and have a oven mitt handy.

You could, but there is not much room between the bottom where the coals would be in the first rack. It can be placed over coals or charcoal outside of the oven however.

I'm wondering about the lifespan of these , primarily the bottom where all the heat is generated .. has anyone had one of these ovens for several years and is still in working order ?
