And it’s not meant to be used with outdoorgrills or open fire, so keep that in mind. It might weigh 25lbs less than the Camp Chef oven, but that doesn’t account for the weight of the other stove or burner you would also have to bring on the camping trip.

With the Camp Chef oven, you get a more reasonable max temperature of 400ºF. That’s lower than you get in most household ovens, but still high enough that you’ll be able to cook anything you want. And since 400ºF is not too high, you can spend less time monitoring the temperatures of the oven and more time enjoying your camping trip. How hot do these ovens get? Well, both of them get hot enough to cook anything your heart desires, let’s get that out of the way. Thank you Richard, for that excellent idea. I’ve read it before somewhere and although we don’t have too much of a problem with the problem you are describing, it might help other people that read your comment. Reply I was going to use metal zip ties but didn’t work so I used large metal safety pins worked great to sew the the sides of the welding blanket together . Now the cooking temperature is kept at a constant temperature and a unglazed tile at the bottom of the oven also help with the temperature . Reply This 1000g stove is an ideal way of cooking on the go, particularly on trips where camping-specific fuel may be hard to come by. It's also a good choice as an emergency stove to keep handy 'just incase'.

Sophisticated meals sometimes need sides like pasta or rice. Higher-end portable camp ovens often come with range-style burners to provide more cooking options or let you cook multiple dishes at once. Keep in mind, if you’re using heat in more than one area, your unit will consume more fuel than ovens using only one heat source. Portability

After some experiments we found baking on the top shelf produces better results (of course only if the space is sufficient). The reason is probably because the bottom is much hotter yet the hot air rises to the top, so you’ll get more top heat and less at the bottom. The problem of losing to much heat through gaps and poor insulation of the sheet metal housing we compensate by putting a fire blanket (heat-resistant) over the the oven Reply The stove itself is only 15 by 12cm in size and weighs 1000g, but can run on full power for over 8 hours. With a boil time of just under 5 minutes, this is slower than some stoves by a minute or so but the smaller size and weight and flexibility of fuel source make this is a generous pay off.Take the bread out of the baking form and put it upside down on the grate to color the top for 5 minutes. There is not a lot to compare this oven to. The Camp Chef Outdoor Oven is a different product. It has it’s own burners built in, and therefore is a stand alone oven. While the Camp Chef Portable Outdoor Oven is self-serving with a butane tank, the Coleman oven depends on another stove. Both of the above ovens are very nice, but the Coleman adds a little different twist. Stansport Propane Outdoor Camp Oven and 2 Burner Range Stansport Propane Outdoor Camp Oven and 2 Burner Range. Our next attempt at preparing some kind of fresh breakfast came years later, in Brazil. We love tapiocas: small pancakes of tapioca flour (a specific kind of manioc/cassava flour). We watched vendors prepare them in their street stall and it looked easy enough: sieve the tapioca, sprinkle a handful of the flour in a hot, dry frying pan, top it with sweet or salty toppings, and there you go.

Now, let’s talk about the power of the Camp Chef oven a bit. It has 7,500 BTUs per burner, while the oven has 3,000 BTUs. The power of burners is equal to that of your household stovetop, which is awesome. But the oven is not nearly as powerful, which means that cooking in it takes longer. The most common form of stove is the traditional two-burner with a single, large cooking grate. But should you want a grill and stove combo, say, for cooking sausage and eggs, a hybrid option like the Camp Chef Rainier 2X is pretty appealing. Keep in mind that the grill portion takes up about 2/3 of the cooktop, which can swallow valuable space for fitting a large skillet or pot. Coleman’s Cascade 3-in-1 solves that problem with both burners and removable grill/griddle accessories. Similarly, stoves like the Camp Chef Explorer allow you to swap out accessory tops, including a barbecue box or pizza oven. Griddles are separate attachments that fit over top the burners, and just like at home, they’re great for cooking up items like pancakes or a grilled cheese.

On the other hand, if you’re more worried about user-friendliness, convenience and just generally enjoying the cooking experience even when you’re camping, there’s no doubt in my mind that the Camp Chef oven is the better option.

Coming in a handy folded down state and an affordable price, it’s worth any outdoors person taking a closer look at this product. It can easily become part of your camping kit. Setup and Design Features Pay attention to the internal size of the camp oven as well because this will affect the size of the dishes that can fit inside. If you’ll be using the oven to prepare meals for a larger group, think about the serving size and the measurements of your cookware. Heat source
