REDCAMP 14"H Foldable Camping Oven with 3 Tier Grill, Stainless Steel Portable Camping Stove for Baking Cinnamon Rolls, Breads and Muffins with Wood Burning Fire,Propane Stoves,Campers,Baking BBQ

This oven is really well made. The fit and finish are superb, in my opinion. I've used a camping oven from a major brand for years and one of my chief complaints about it was the lightweight gauge of steel used, it was always getting bent or misaligned in normal use and was truly a pain in the neck to get it buttoned up and packed.This stove is made of a thicker grade of stainless steel and I think it will be a lot tougher and more durable. It comes with a carrying case which is a nice touch. It has 3 racks and a removable top which increases its versatility. It comes with a spare front glass piece which I think is also a nice touch.I highly recommend that you add two items to this stove to improve its performance. A cover and also get a pizza stone or unglazed tiles. The cover alone will greatly improve the performance by reducing the amount of time it takes to get the oven to temperature and how much fuel is consumed maintaining cooking temperature. I can't emphasize enough how much this improves the performance. The tiles and/or pizza stone are used to place your baked goods on. This virtually eliminates rolls burning on the bottom and also helps to retain heat and maintain an even temperature.The photos show the cover which I purchased here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRYV351X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). I used some heavy duty copper wire I had laying around to make a couple of “pincers” to keep the cover tightly wrapped around the oven to reduce air leakage. (I will probably make something a bit more elegant in the future.) I opted to use two inexpensive unglazed ceramic 4” x 8” tiles instead of a more expensive pizza stone.So, some testing:I was using a vintage Coleman gas stove and placed the oven on a single burner. I love these old stoves and think they are far superior in performance to propane stoves, but that’s just me. I had this set up in my shop so wind was not a factor.On a medium flame, the oven reached 350 degrees in 7 minutes with the two tiles on the second shelf. Other reviewers have noted that the built in temperature gauge is inaccurate and that was my experience, too. I used a separate temperature gauge and you can see the difference between the two readings in the photo. Sometimes the stock gauge would read much higher than the second gauge, sometimes much lower. I suspect that part of the reason for this is that the probe from the built-in gauge actually touches the bottom grate. In any case, I recommend using a separate gauge.At 350 degrees, I placed a pan of cinnamon rolls on the tiles on the second rack. Recommended backing time was 23 – 27 minutes, these were done in about 30. The tiles did a good job of preventing burnt bottoms. I found that maintaining an even temperature was easily done but I should note that with any of these stove top ovens you cannot just set the flame and walk away for 20 minutes! You really do need to closely monitor the temperature and make fairly frequent small adjustments to the flame.So, overall, I think this is a wonderful addition to my gear and a great value!

We bought both the Redcamp Camping Oven and the Coleman Camping Oven to compare side by side. After receiving them both we realized that, even without it ever being used, Amazon doesn’t allow the Coleman Oven to be returned. Considering this we were hoping that we would like the Coleman better. Unfortunately for us the Coleman can’t hold a candle to the Redcamp. Not only is it lacking a viewing window and carrying bag, the Redcamp is made of solid stainless steel while the Coleman is made of flimsy sheet metal with lots of gaps, holes and openings. These openings would likely require more propane and make retaining heat difficult. This makes the Coleman lighter but I doubt that it will hold up well to exposure to extreme heat and repeated use. The Coleman does have a heavy duty oven rack verses the Redcamp’s less sturdy three racks. In a perfect world Redcamp would make their racks a little sturdier. I’m somewhat concerned about the long term durability of the racks but they do seem sufficiently strong for the baking pans that we plan to use. After weighing all pros and cons we decided to keep the Redcamp. It was an easy decision and hopefully we will be able to sell the Coleman Oven on eBay or Facebook Marketplace next spring to recoup some of our losses.We did quite a bit of research on the best approach to setting up and using these foldable camping ovens. What we found was that using The Chef Master Grill Boss duel fuel stove along with the Chef Master Stove cover and a 9 inch pizza stone on the first rack gave us the best results. It provided the oven with a very stable base, helped direct the stove’s heat upwards while acting as an effective wind shield. The pizza stone insured that the heat was well distributed in the oven for even cooking. We first used this oven on a very windy, cold 40 degree fall day. The oven preheated to 400 degrees in under 10 minutes. Adjusting the flame of the stove we were able to maintain an even 350 degrees. The oven does get hot on the outside so you will need to be careful around children or animals and be sure to have your oven mitts ready. We easily were able to bake cinnamon buns that turned nicely browned on top without burning the bottoms. They made a yummy addition to our breakfast.Overall We highly recommend the Redcamp Oven. When properly equipped it seems to provide safe and excellent results in a compact package. As to long term use, I plan to update my review if we experience any disappointing durability issues.Here are the Amazon links:Grill Boss 90057 Dual Fuel Camp Stove | Works with both Butane and Propane | Perfect for Camping & Hiking | Emergency Cooking Stove | Single Burner 12k BTU Output https://a.co/d/fZDyck0Chef Master 90217 Butane Stove Cover, Protects Flames from Wind, Elegant Presentation, Durable Stainless Steel, Cover for Chef Master Butane Stove https://a.co/d/54na7whRound Pizza Baking Stone 9" Diameter, White https://a.co/d/2p7REmT

I've been looking at portable ovens for a little while. Coleman has been the go-to for a long time but it just didn't seem to be what I wanted. There's another that's a lot more expensive, too. Then I found this RedCamp oven. I've had good experiences with several RedCamp products and decided to purchase this oven.I'm satisfied with the build quality and function. I found the thermometer is accurate when placed in my regular oven so no worries there. It only heats from underneath so be careful that you don't scorch items that are on the lower shelf while items on the top don't cook fast. Reposition items to keep that from happening.What I don't like is the plastic film. I understand the need to keep the surfaces from getting scratched. What's a problem is that the handles were riveted on TOP of the plastic. That means there's a small amount of blue plastic permanently embedded under the handles. Maybe it will melt/burn off but that's just annoying.There are three basic parts: The Top, the 4-side walls, and the Bottom. The sidewalls fold open, sit on the bottom, and the top sits... well, on top. What's weird is that the bottom does not attach at all to the sides. It seems like it could, but it doesn't. Perhaps I just haven't figured out the whole thing but the sides only sit on little corner taps on the bottom. This does allow for some airflow so perhaps that's the reason but I would expect a fully assembled oven - that has handles - to lift off as an entire unit. As is, the bottom plate will stay behind.It works. It folds and all fits into a nice carry case. Bake stuff on your wood stove when the power is out during a major snow storm. It's good. Not great, but good.
