Propane stove top oven?

[LadyJo]

Has anyone used one of the ovens that are placed on top of a propane stove burner? I am considering this one.

LadyJo the link you posted is for ovenware not an oven. however if you scroll down they show a Coleman stove top oven. I had one of those. they work great indoors if you watch the temp. once you practice it's easy to bake, inside out of the wind. on the other hand if you use it outside like I did they are a pita. if there is any kind of breeze or wind it will drive you bonkers. it's very hard to regulate the heat in the wind. up and down, you almost have to stand right next to it now use a dutch oven or me Camp Chef stove oven combo. https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Ca...atcorr&keywords=camp+chef+portable+stove+oven . it is however unregulated but it's double wall insulated. when it works it works great but I have had problems with it mainly the cheap Chinese valves and regulator. Camp Chef has sent replacement parts but it has been a pita. in the end a dutch oven works better then both. although when there are burn bans you really can't use a dutch oven as a oven. highdesertranger

I have one of these and love it.  Ovenette

Ovenettes were made during the 1940s so the easiest place to find them is on ebay. Make sure that you get one that is not electric. I've never used it outside but I think, like highdesertranger says, that it wouldn't work well outside in windy weather.

 Ovenettes have a temperature gauge but you have to regulate the temperature with the flame level. It takes a little practice to figure it out but I can make almost everything from baked chicken to pizza and cakes. Yeast bread tends to brown too much on the bottom.

 The whole thing is about the size of a cake cover and it all nests together which is really nice for saving space.

The Ovenette reminds me of something my grandma had. Worked well. There was also a style that had holes in the bottom ring.

Ooooo, I see it is under $200 right now. Totally worth it!

Ooooh, I love those. Not sure I could fit it in the Element. It will fit on top of a tote box that will hold the weight if I have to cook inside and also for travel. Would be perfect inside the easy up. Might be too tall to use in the SUV, I will measure.

I have a Coleman folding Oven and have used these for years.

Biggest issue is the accuracy of the thermometer with most of these.  But one can purchase accurate reading
thermometers and mount them at the rack level so you know the temp's  where the food items are baking.


These were designed to use on Coleman Camp Stoves of which I have one with a propane converter so I don't have to use liquid fuel.  I can set this up on a picnic table or other table in camp and bake as I wish.
I also have cast iron Dutch Oven's that I could carry along to bake with in the camp fire.  Shame to have a nice camp fire and not use it if the weather permits. 

I have a larger grill section (from my BBQ grill at home) that I can carry along and mount on top of my
stove top propane stove and make a stable platform for the Coleman.

One of these is mounted on the top of my kitchenette cabinet at one end with sink bowls at the other.  Using the oven on it is possible but pushing the limits.   (shown in my website  below)

I don't think I would use any kind of oven inside - the exterior would get too hot. Just a burner if needed for coffee and a simple meal of some sort.

Years ago when I got my first Van my Mom wanted to get me one of these things.  I don't know if anyone here has  ever seen or used one. 

A Dry Oven.  This was back when there were all kinds of "Tin kitchen devices" available.

These are strange little ovens, but they do work if you're doing something small.

Not sure what I'd go for but I know I'd be looking for something if the trailer didn't have a oven and a vent. The solar ovens do a moist heat, not so good for everything. I also love to bake on cold, deary days.

Having a camp stove I would go for the Coleman because it folds up. Starting from scratch the Camp Chef looks neat.

I did mount my Camp Chef right near the two side doors. So on hotter days I can open the doors to vent out the heat. On colder days, where I may still need to vent out heat but I dont want to have a door open, I can just open that door's window a crack.

The great thing about the Camp Chef is it is removable. Mine is held by a few leather straps with push-buttons that can be easily removed to pull the entire stove right outside. While in Baja, thanks to the great weather, I did nearly all the cooking outside under the awning. It was awesome.

Love the stove / oven set up you have. I am going to figure out how to make it work for an Element.
