Läst sich gut zusammenfalten. Beim Aufbau ein wenig Übung gefragt um die Nasen richtig einzuführen. Deckel verzieht sich da sehr dünnes verzinktes Blech.

This was a great purchase! It is light weight, compact, and does what it is designed to do. I definitely recommend it especially with the recommendations below.

I’m a baker and a camper and I went all in when I spotted this on YouTube, read reviews on Amazon and on the web. One person’s suggestions here along with those I viewed on Youtube were so helpful and most of all they were successful. I went ahead and purchased the additional items but there are cheaper ways I’ve listed to get the most out of the oven.

The oven is very compact and has a small footprint when folded, itsets up easily and is stable. The oven is heated and it’s temperature is adjusted by the stove’s flame control. It cools down quickly to store. There will be some heat discoloration on the area closer to the flame which is normal on all camp stoves and doesn’t affect the oven at all. The box is great for transportation.

From my very first baking experience, using the oven in 40 degree weather, I was able to insulate from heat loss, prevent burnt food, and regulate temperature easily. It will go on car camping trips from now on. I transported the oven, baking stone (in their boxes), cover and magnets in a canvas tote bag.

The extra items below were purchased on Amazon. You can use other work arounds that are cheaper.

1. Tillman Welder’s Felt blanket (non-fiberglass) 36″x 36″: Cut in a
“+” plus sign shape to cover top, back, front and sides (2-12″ seams along the back with a flippable front flap.) Stops heat loss due to cold, wind, and metal conduction also helps to cut down having to constantly regulate the stove flame. But remember this is not a “set it and forget” it oven.

2. Nomex (DuPont) thread- 40 yards on a metal bobin sold by Profox: The right amount and the most economical, and most of all NON-FLAMMABLE!

3. Waykea Baking Stone 10″x10″: Placed inside on the bottom of the oven to disperse heat evenly. Keep the box and padding, it’s thin and nice for transporting. Takes a little longer (few minutes) to cool down than the oven.

4. Taylor Oven Thermometer: Set on the wire shelf. Many reviews don’t trust the Coleman temp gauge. I did see a difference.

5. Neodymium magnets: To secure cover to oven. Already had these at home.

I baked gingerbread, cornbread, biscuits, and Trader Joe’s canned refrigerated cinnamon rolls. The oven with the added recommendations held a steady and even heat in 40 degree weather with wind. I didn’t have to do a lot of temperature adjusting and nothing burned. Everything rose beautifully, was cooked through, and browned nicely. Most of all my family enjoyed the freshly baked unexpected treats.

I plan on getting “smaller size toaster oven” baking tins but the disposable aluminum foil tins work perfectly until I do.

There are cheaper alternatives for the suggestions that will give you a economical way of discovering if this oven is for you when camping.

1. You can make a windscreen of heavy duty aluminum foil with multiple layers that cover the back, top and sides. YouTube shows 2 panels: one covering the back and top, and the second covering the sides and top, tucking the first panel top flap under the second.
2. You can use unglazed red clay tile, or fire tile on the bottom of the oven instead of the baker’s stone.
3. I do recommend buying the oven thermometer and using disposable aluminum tins as they are cheap.

FYI: The camp stove is a Camp Chef Everest. The table is a Lifetime Folding Camping Tailgate Table. Both bought on Amazon. We LOVE this stove and table! I now LOVE this oven!

P.S. Discovered the table was on uneven ground while this was baking. That’s why the gingerbread is lopsided but evenly cooked.
