Coleman Packaway Oven

Product Information

Most folks put some sort of heat diffusing material in the bottom such as a piece of plate steel, a cast iron griddle or even a pizza stone. The smaller bread size is plenty for solo or two campers, keeps me from eating too much 🙂 So, I have on board one non-stick light weight pot for everything. I recommend purchasing an oven thermometer and placing it inside to get a more accurate temperature reading. I think that if we were having an indoor propane setup we would maybe be less enthusiastic about the oven and would have evolved more like you have. Luckily the rack slots provide a good place to pass a couple of pieces of fencing wire or similar through to make another support with just.

You've got plenty good tips since I first read this early today, unfortunately the day got in the way to replying, but I'll add my thoughts now. Mix flour with water until you get the right substance, make thin patties of them and bake them on the griddle. Heat indicator really is just a reference, I just wing it using sight, sizzle and smell indicators as John E says the indicator gives a good reference once you get use to how you're using the oven. I then can use the Dutch oven for many other cooking chores including over coals outside, or frying meats and eggs on inside of it’s non stick lid on stove or over fire. I checked out a Coleman oven with the camera tonight, curious to know how approximate the door-mounted oven temp thermometer might be and to take a look at the heat distribution inside the oven.Christa pointed out while you can’t find whole-wheat flour, salvado de trigo is a common product, which is the husk of the wheat. Just set up this oven, pop it over the burner of your existing Coleman stovetop, fire it up and you’ll be ready to bake. With the Coleman Camp Oven the discussion was a bit different as it wasn’t a total ‘yes’ from Coen nor a rigorous ‘no’ from me. Baking brownies, biscuits, potatoes, and warming up rolls for your burgers brings a different dimension to outdoors cooking.

What a terrific gift idea for that special someone who loves to camp - we have a few souls like that in our family.It is also important to remove the oven from on top of the burner before extinguishing the flame when using on a gasoline or kero stove, or the residual unburnt vapors are liable to taint the baked goods. I was very good able to bake some bread on a windy day on Corsica last September without the temperature inside the oven was going up and down all the time. The purchase of our Futura Pressure Cooker was one of these typical discussion rituals that lasted months, eight years ago in India, and turned out to be one of our best cooking equipment we ever bought.

Some of you have seen the image on our Instagram: our first homemade bread, fresh from our brand-new Coleman Camp Oven. It also folds flat, so you can slot it in with the rest of your camping gear on your next trip away. Since this is something we bake at home semi-regularly, we figured it would make for a good comparison in there field. Personally I think there is room in any backpacker or outdoors person to have one of these in their collection.

We got fed up doing that every morning and the whole plan was abolished after a couple of weeks or months. i always thought they were a fun item never ment for real cooking but now i see you can cook things like a pork roast so i may try that this summer.

If you have small children, you will need to use this item with caution and warn everyone not to touch it. This will obviously depend on the output of your stove, but the temperature gauge on the front goes up to approx 300'C so it should be fine to reach 180'C. Sounds like the perfect accessory for any kitchen - the one utilized on camping trips and the home kitchen for power outages (of which I've experienced many over the years due to weather-related phenomena).

I use them at home, outdoors in hot weather, to avoid heating up the house, as well as while out camping. You'll notice in the pork pics that I used my second choice brick pieces on top of the oven to help retain some heat in the top as the breeze would slow things down quickly, now if roasting in the wild I wrap the oven in foil to limit some heat loss out of the seams, rack slots and its uninsulated construction, allows for more consistent overall temp with lower burner setting. When there is wind we bake inside the Land Cruiser, putting the stove on a wooden cutting board to protect the storage compartment lid from the heat.
