Coleman Packaway Oven

Product Information

Take out the dough, knead it six times by folding it outside in. Put it in a baking form and let it rise again until it doubles in size once more. I have owned one of these coleman oven for years, mainly for making bread, but without much succes. Hate the way the oven doesn’t really fit on the stove. The flame is either to much to one side and will not heat the oven properly or, if you position the hole of the oven directly over the flame the oven almost falls of. I own a coleman 424, one of the best things I ever bought.

The body is a 304 stainless steel and the inner chamber is completely sealed. As you realize, it has a glass viewing window and an integrated thermometer that will help you dial in the oven for baking. The inner baking chamber measures 6 x 6 inches (15 x 15 cm) and it has two internal shelves. The oven weighs 11 lb (5 kg). We’re discussing camping ovens here and a big part of their appeal is general portability. The easier it is to bring it when you’re going camping, the better the oven. Both portable ovens have convenient carry handles, so we’re off to a good start. Ovens that use the heat from some external source. Here you will see some really simple yet effective designs. What we like: Good all-around performance—with a recent boost in power—for less than the competition. If we just look at the numbers, it’s not even a contest. The Coleman oven weighs a mere 7 lbs and it folds flat for easy storage and carrying. The Camp Chef oven, on the other hand, is bigger, bulkier, and weighs 32lbs total. So, what’s the catch?

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 The oven weighs 32 lb (14.5 kg) and the inner dimensions of the oven are (L x W x H) 11 x 16 x 9 inches (28 x 40.6 x 23 cm). So you realize this is a full-size oven, and it can provide the temperature in the range 250 – 400° F (121 – 204 C). This means that even though this oven is smaller, cheaper, and lighter, that won’t be the case in practice because you can’t use it on its own.

Camping Coffee Makers: When you’re up with the sun, caffeine isn’t optional. If your portable oven has stove burners or gets hot enough to boil water, you can start the day with a strong cup of coffee made from an easily portable camping coffee maker. Joining the Cascade Classic above is another well-rounded budget design from Coleman: their Triton Camping Stove. The tabletop design features two strong, highly adjustable 11,000 BTU burners that run on a standard 16-ounce propane canister (adapters are available to make it compatible with a larger tank). With decent simmer control and solid output at full tilt, the Coleman is one of only a few stoves in its price range that’s capable enough for cooking diverse meals. Last but not least, its 11-pound weight and manageable size make the Triton easy to transport in a car and store at home. BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is a measurement of heat output. More specifically, it’s the amount of energy needed to heat 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. In the context of camping, it serves as a standard for determining the performance potential of a gas stove. While BTUs shouldn’t be looked at as the sole indicator of power—cooking surface area can impact the flame’s actual intensity—it’s a great way of comparing stoves overall. If you’re used to a 10,000-BTU burner and are eyeing a 20,000-BTU-per-burner model like the Camp Chef Everest 2X, we can guarantee you that the difference will be noticeable. Camp Chef's Everest 2X is impressively powerful with two 20,000-BTU burners With all things considered, this is a really handy little oven. If you have any experience with the Coleman Camp Oven or a recipe that would be great in an outdoor oven, leave a comment below. It would be great to hear some other things that have worked. 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.The weather can be variable even in the fairest of months, but the show must go on. And that includes cooking up a decent hot meal. The flame on any stove is sensitive to shifting and blowing wind, and it’ll be important to find a somewhat protected space no matter the stove you choose. To help, there are wind shields on many models that cover three sides of the stove. This type of protection is a must-have, but it still won’t protect you from really strong gusts. In general, we've found that the smaller the footprint the better the wind resistance, but large freestanding stoves can be set up just about anywhere, so hopefully you can find a decent wind break. Wind shields along the sides help guard against strong gusts Camping Stove Width

This means the possibility of the aroma of cinnamon rolls filling the air, making fresh bread, cakes, biscuits and more. Or maybe it’s just a turkey pot pie or a pizza out there? So, even if you were to buy two separate things, you would still spend a lot less money than you would on the Camp Chef oven.Neither of us could answer that. As the oven cost a very reasonable 65 euros, we figured it wouldn’t hurt to buy it and try it out for a year. If it didn’t work, we could sell it on E-bay next year. Coleman Camp Oven + Extras There isn’t much more to the product than this, and neither is there anything else you’d want for. It sits directly on top of your camping stove. It’s compatible with most, if not all of the 2-burner stoves I’ve reviewed. In my opinion, the Coleman oven is better suited for more experienced bakers. If you’re confident about your temperatures and cooking times, then you might just be able to use this without messing up anything. But if you need to sneak a peek every now and then, the fact that there’s nothing see-through about this oven will be a major issue.

Some camping ovens heat with white gas, a type of liquid fuel that’s more expensive but burns cleaner than propane. Second, during our annual visit to the NetherlandsCoen brought me to an outdoor cooking store. We needed to buy a thermos and a set of stainless-steel camping cookwareto replace the more-than-forty-year-old aluminum version my parents took on their first camping trips. This is one of those that need an external heat source. So you can use it with a wood-burning stove as the picture above shows. There are many such stoves from the same brand and you can see them here. Whole-wheat flour is practically non-existent in Peru (and most of South America). Locals use white flour. Later on, I found (expensive) whole-wheat flour Lima’s organic stores/markets.Pour the yeasty fluid inside the crater of the ‘volcano’ and slowly stir with one finger trying to leave the salt untouched for as long as possible. This oven is without its own heat source, so you will need some external. This can be any of the gas burners from this brand or a wood-burning stove. Coleman is well-known for its numerous propane and liquid fuel stoves, see this Coleman Triton as an example. 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 The only issue is that you can’t really force it to stay at a certain temperature the whole time. So, even if you need to cook something at a really high temperature, you can’t just put it in the oven and then forget about it. You will have to monitor the temperature and open it up every now and then to let out some of that heat. Otherwise, it will stay at 600ºF, and that will just scorch anything inside.
