Camp Chef Camping Oven & Stove combo on sale

[Van-Tramp]

They dropped the price again. Normally it is $220 or more, I just noticed the new price of $170. Click me for Amazon link

I got mine a few months back and love it! It will run on the 1# cans or buy a hose and connect it to a larger propane tank.

Gotta get me one.

 

[vtwinkicker]

Yeah I got one of these. Works great. The oven will hold a constant 400 degrees no problem.

 

[highdesertranger]

I have one too, works great. much better than the old coleman folding oven. the only thing one must be aware of is they do not self regulate like a house oven. you must keep an eye on the temp. with a little practice you can bake anything you can in a house oven. I have roasted chicken, made meatloaf. baked pies, cookies, biscuits, and bread. highdesertranger

^^^ what my fellow Kurbmaster said!^^^

You do have to leave some room from the sides (and back) as they do get pretty hot. I would recommend NOT mounting the thing inside, so it can easily be brought outside for any long cooking sessions. I used an old leather belt, but into two pieces, and used the handles on the oven to mount the oven in place. When ever I want to bring it outside on the picnic table, it is two screws away.

Hi VT,

I've read either here or your blog that you used a cast iron bean pot for awhile. Even did some baking in it which is what I was thinking I'd use. What made you decide to go this route. I know that you like it. Is it just that it's easier? It's worth the additional space it takes up for you?

Thanks!

 

[Van-Tramp]

I still have the bean pot, and while you can bake just about anything in it, it is much more difficult than a proper oven. And the space is not actually wasted as I was using the same amount of space for a 2 burner stove (which this replaces) on top of a counter. The oven, wen not in use, is a great storage box for non-solid items (bread, chips, etc... not pots and pans as it will break the glass).

So a net wash on the space and much easier to use.

That was a very keen observation, and yes it was, it did get sold at the last RTR to a neighbor that just fell in love with it, did not want to break his heart. I pick em up used sometimes this one was like new. I don't really bake much.

 

[gypsychic]

I don't really bake much.

I don't either although I do love roasted veggies in the winter. My favorites are roasted broccoli or brussel sprouts with some balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, S&P. I can eat a whole head of broccoli this way right out of the oven. I usually do 2-3 heads at a time just to have some for leftovers. Kale chips? I'd rather have separated brussel sprout leaves crisped up in the above vinaigrette. Yum! I know-I'm weird.

Some cinnamon rolls are good every once in a while too!

If I had a girlfriend I'd buy her one of those for Christmas. You could bake cornbread with it!

I'll have to decide soon if it's worth keeping my beloved bike [emoji467]

I know, and I have the mini rocket stove and a single burner that connects to the top of a one pound propane bottle. But I really like that oven, and I need room in the back for more than just that.

 

[highdesertranger]

that backpack oven is like a coleman folding oven. if the conditions are right they work ok. they will not work with any stove that is attach to a fuel bottle you must use a remote fuel tank. there is a thread on the folding ovens somewhere on the forum. they work ok under controlled conditions. any kind breeze or wind and they are very hard to regulate the temp. I know this because I have both a camp chef and a folding oven, I never use the folding oven anymore. highdesertranger

This thread is a month old, but thought better here than starting another thread.

I want to frame this stove inside the van and am looking for solutions for the heat that would be radiated from oven use. Would a reflective heat barrier work in this case? Would 1/4 inch space between the oven wall and the heat barrier be enough? What about 1/2 inch? Looking for real world experience with either the stove radiating the heat or a good reflective heat barrier. There would be a wood frame behind the heat barrier. Thnx!

I have no idea about the mounting question but that is one cool stove.
