I stumbled on this and what an amazing review!! The pacing, structure, content, everything was perfect, not a second was wasted or boring. The video answered every question I had and a ton more I didn’t even know to ask. You really have a talent for this.
Coleman oven, I bought an older steel one on ebay about 12 years ago. My thought was it would be heaver, but it would hold temps better then the newer aluminum ones. My faves: Peeled and Diced Potatoes Placed in a heavy duty foil pouch with a little water. Easy side dish! Shake & Bake Chicken legs when camping. Foil baked onion with butter, beef bullion cube. Peel the onion and makes cuts in the top almost all the way through the onion, work in some beef bullion and a bit of butter. Then wrap in foil and bake. What I have seen other Coleman oven users do my travels : An older guy pre makes burritos, or just uses store-bought burritos. He brings them on his trip, wraps them in foil and heat them up in the Coleman oven on top of a Coleman stove while camping. He just brings the stove, the oven foil and his coffee pot. Talk about a minimalist Another mostly full timer I ran into still uses an old coleman fuel stove. He baked cup-cakes twice a week using the pre packaged mixes like blueberry muffin mix. His oven holds the 6 hole cupcake pan with enough room on the side for 1 small muffin pan. He uses the cupcake liners to make cleanup easier. He fills the cupcake tin first and pours any extra into the muffin pan. On short trips I do not bring the camp oven or a two burner stove in the Adventure truck. In my adventure truck I carry the Firebox (box stove, butane burner, box pot w/stone) and I carry the firebox cast iron 5-way cookset. I can do a bunch of different things with it cooking wise. the square cook stove, burner, boxpot, and small butane canister all nest in a small cube. Between this and the small firebox pan set I can cook a lot of different things including cinnamon rolls. How is that for a first comment? Roger
So happy your channel popped up on my feed!!!! My wife and I are in the market to downsize the junk get an adventure van and see the beauty!!! I was hoping I could find a channel that covered all this and I too love gadgets.. Well here I am!! Please keep them coming new sub here!!! Thanks again l. Ronnie
Thanks, Ronnie! We’re so glad you found us. Downsizing and starting van adventures is such an exciting journey-welcome aboard! We’ll keep the videos coming. Let us know if there’s anything you’d like us to cover!
I have both and use them for different cooking applications. The Omnia is great for using in the camper with it's small stovetop and the Coleman oven is great for cooking outside when I use the larger Campchef stove. Th Coleman oven just won't fit on the camper stove burners. Both work good if you remain aware of the pros and cons for each. Thanks.
This really is a great review. I have been wrestling both of those, so this was nice to see. Still not sure which way I want to go yet, but the information was great.
I wonder if there's a difference in what you can cook. The Coleman seems better for traditional recipes (baking bread, cake, brownies), the Omnia can do those but the shape means you need to be more creative.
I do a lot of baking in my Coleman oven, and it’s an older one that has the half door and it opens downward. The one thing I learned with the Coleman is all the cooking pans for a toaster oven fit best and make it easer. With the 6 hole muffin tin, you don’t have to tip it to get it in, and the small cookie sheet, you can do biscuits without tipping the sheet to get it in and out. I have seen a lot of people use the Omnia and make a lot of things in them, but I feel it is over rated for the cost. Great review and comparison.

Wow, you definitely win first comment! We will have to try out the potato recipe. Your Firebox setup sounds cool. 😁

They are both great options. If size and weight aren’t a concern, the Coleman might be a good place to start. 😁

You can really cook the same things it is just a different shaped pan. We really enjoy the OMNIA so far.
The coleman 100%
The Coleman is a great choice!
