Camp Chef Outdoor Camp Oven, Black/Silver, 31" H x 24" W x 18" L

Why I bought it: I needed a small oven that is portable, one to a house porch, then for my Casita camper, which has only burners inside. I do a lot of weekend car/tent camping also, and use little Coleman cannisters for my Buddy heater, and thought I could use them on this oven as well. Its a great thing to be able to fry chicken outside, not stink up the house too.What else did I get: Ordered the handy carry bag, which has well places handles on each side, is black nylon, and well padded to protect the oven This is a good idea, and makes it so easy to transport.Did it work well?I really like the burners. The knobs light the stove and burners, so no matches needed.I tried cooking water for coffee in a teakettle, first, to learn how everything worked, then a batch of eggs on top, and noted how even and fine the flames are, and adjust easily, and cleans up easily too. Much easier not to burn pancakes etc, when one can adjust the flames so finely. Beats many camping stoves any day.The burner lid is a wind screen, and is very effective, and stands up with the little metal clips easilyNext, lit the oven, which has a pilot light that comes on the bottom, which the glass door makes it easy to spot, once lit, adjust the temp knob. I made orange sweet rolls from the can for my camping crew, which turned out just right. It looks like smaller roasting pans or brownie pans, will fit better in this unit. This little oven should bake a smallish chicken, or two game hens, etc no problem.. There are two removable wire shelves inside, nice and sturdy. I believe with some adjustment, I can cook a duck in it.The thermometer is outside the oven on the control panel. I have not tested, but if you need exact oven temp control, just get your own for inside the oven.Although it takes several minutes longer to heat up than a indoor oven, once heated seemed to maintain the temperature well. No odors, etc.A handy grabber handle is attached is on the ovens handle, lest one's forgets, and gets burned. With this one, not a chance.If one is needing it, a simple egg timer would help. I kept an eye on it, because I had it under a large screen room to keep it out of the rain. It did not overheat my LL bean screen shelter ceiling however, and I kept it under the center peak, on the picnic table, away from the sides.Would I purchase this again: Yes! All in all, sturdy, good burners and stove, and great for many applications, like brownies, breads, smaller pizzas, cornbreads, muffins, and will greatly increase what I usually can cook while camping, especially on wet days. where fire cooking is too difficult. Happy I bought it.Keep the bubble rap around the regulator, you can re-wrap it so it doesn't bang around inside the stove while travelling.:)

This is a luxury item for camping. In fact, i bought it so that i could make cinnamon rolls while car camping, and it has performed admirably. When i go on group trips, or trips where we will be setting up a base camp, i am the envy of the camp site. I can have Cinnamon Rolls and biscuits in the oven, Bacon and Eggs on one burner, and a percolator of coffee on the other. It's awesome.The oven gets hot fast, retains heat very well because of the superior insulation, and the temperature is easy to regulate once you get the hang of it. (hint: cracking the oven door while it's on high is a great way to keep it around 375-400F)The stove top is very well built. Brass burners won't rust, the flame is easy to control, the knobs are sturdy - not cheap feeling at all, and the output is robust. A standard griddle pan will fit nicely over the burners and creates a great surface for pancakes.In addition to a deluxe car camping experience, this oven is ideal for preppers and survivalists who want to stock a small cabin or their garage with a reliable, full featured stove that will run on readily available propane. Out of the box, the stove is equipped to run on standard 16oz propane canisters. For more extended or heavy use, it is easy to attach a bulk tank adapter, which makes it possible to use the stove with a full sized propane tank.I do not regret this purchase at all and recommend one of these to anyone who is looking to take their car camping to the next level of luxury or have a fantastic and reliable way to cook in an emergency.

We setup a semi-permanent campsite on our property (Bell style tent from Stout Tents) and wanted a cooking appliance that was portable but allowed for more dining options than a typical camp stove. The Camp Chef Outdoor Camp Oven is the real deal! We use it almost every weekend and have cooked everything from grilled cheese to pasta to steaks to fresh baked cookies. The top burners heat evenly and are more than strong enough to get our cast iron skillet heated quickly. The oven is what really sets this thing apart from any other Camp stove I have ever used. It heats up quickly, holds its heat very well even in 20 degree temps. The racks are spacious. It is very easy to keep clean. After heavy use and even accidentally leaving it in freezing rain, it still looks like new. Solid construction. The other thing I have noticed is how efficient the burners are. A disposable propane tank will last an entire weekend of oven and burner use and still have something left in the tank. We recently bought the adapter hose to connect to a larger tank so we can stop using the disposable canisters. You definitely want to buy the cover. Well worth the money and makes it easy to transport. One note about the cover is that it is not waterproof as we found out. Hopefully they will make one that is soon. If you want to kick up your camp dining a notch, you will not be disappointed!

I got this oven for camping, with fire bans for many years in a row and it being to hot to cook in the camper this seems like the perfect fix.Pros: The stove overall is light weight. The top burners work perfectly as expected. I love that the use knobs are easy to lock into place and the high adjustment is near the igniter and locked so I don't accidentally shut the burner off. The oven is nice, but will take time to get used to using. Glass door in the oven and thermometer are a plus after using a camper range from 70s.Cons: The self lighters work in warm weather, but when the oven or stove is cold make sure a lighter is handy for starting. There is a learning curve to get the lighters to work so I may just need to use the stove more than a weekend. The oven seems to take to long to get up to temperature and cooks slowly especially in wind or colder temperatures.For what I need this works.
