Coleman Camp Oven

[andrew2767]

Does anyone have a Coleman pack-away oven. If so, how do you get on with it? and what heat source are you using?

Never saw one before! Too much for a camper for me. Ad says it runs on LPG

Hi Jog. The oven is a simple folding aluminium box with a door latch and thermometer on the door. One oven shelf inside, and it sits over a gas ring. I would plan on using it over a Cadac Safari Chef.
Just wondering if anyone already has one, and if they would recommend it?

I’ve got one, only used a couple of times (garlic bread and pizza) it heated up quickly, the food cooked but didn’t go particularly brown (a bit like cooking something in a microwave). It folds down really small and is easy to assemble. On balance I think it’s handy to have in the van for the few occasions that an oven is needed.

I’ve seen it cook muffins etc on a guys YouTube in Canada …. Works well

The small size when folded down is a great feature.

I'm interested to know what you heat it up with? I'm thinking of using the Cadac Safari Chef.

Cadaver would work yes or cheap gas cartridge hob

I put mine on my dometic hob in the van. Heats up quick, a bit “gappy“ around the edges so not sure it’s particularly efficient.

Guessing that’s spellcheck taking over.
Interesting BBQ’s, I’ll have a leg.

Does it have an automatic warning that says “shut that door” if you leave it open?

Well, I took the plunge and ordered one. They get great reviews everywhere.
Tried it in the garden to bake some bread rolls. Worked a treat!
Easily got to 220 degrees Celsius. Thermometer on door is not calibrated, but there’s an adjustment screw on the back of the door, so will have a go at adjusting next time.
