Camp Oven Issues Solved

- With a couple of changes the Coleman Camp Oven is now working perfectly. I added a pizza baking stone and used the right side burner on the coleman gas stove which is much easier to adjust. In this video I baked bread and muffins and they both turned out very well.
The method I used for fixing the burnt bottom problem was to Simply double up my pans. This leaves a small air space between the two pans which protects the bottom of the muffins or whatever else you're baking from the high temperatures.
Thank you that sounds like a good idea.
Great video. I put a small pizza stone in the bottom of the oven and then wrap the oven with a 1/4” thick carbon felt blanket to insulate it. I use mine on an eco-zoom rocket stove.
Great idea!
Thank you. It was just a frozen bread dough but now that I understand how to use the oven I will bake homemade bread this winter.
I could smell it all right through my screen :) Glad the stone worked out, now you could almost turn that wonderful cabin of yours into a small bake shop. Just the cute bread loaves alone would be a best seller!
Thank you for actually using a camping stove for using this oven. every other video I watched, they did it on a butane stove. I wanted to see how it would fit on my coleman camp stove and now I know I can use my existing camp stove for this. THANK you very much. And your bread looks absolutely scrumptious
Glad it was helpful!
This was great! I am teaching a class on off-grid cooking tomorrow and have been trying to decide what to bake to demonstrate the ease of this particular oven. I'll be baking on top of my StoveTec, though. Haven't tried a camp stove yet, looks like I need to give it a try! You have sold me on your beautiful loaves of bread! I think the class will love it! There is always something so comforting about freshly baked homemade bread.
+Natalie Brimhall By stove tec do you mean a rocket stove. I have one but have never tried the oven on it. I just put a Yotul stove in the cabin and tested to see if the oven will go up to temperature on it and it went to 350 no problem at all so I look forward to trying it this winter.
Looks delicious! Another trick is to sprinkle some uncooked rice in the muffin pan before you put your liners in to create a little air pocket between the metal and your muffin 👍🏻
That sounds like a great idea.
The Pizza stone makes sense as it as you said absorbs heat and would also give a even heat to the food.
Well done mate
Thank you yes it made all the difference.
I found your channel by searching Coleman collapsible oven recipes. Glad I found your channel, your content is awesome!
Awesome! Thank you!
Your loaves were beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The bread is gorgeous! I got hungry just watching it...:)
I found this video so relaxing somehow. I came for an oven review, but really enjoyed seeing the bread and muffins come out of the oven and sit on your sun soaked cutting board while you talked about your small cabin. Feels peaceful there. Thank you Dale!
Awesome! Thank you!
For those looking for the stone used in this video,they have been discontinued under that name on Amazon. The new name is Honey Can Do and Wayfair is the only place I found them. The other alternative I have found,but pricey is Pampered Chefs Small Bar Pans that is made of stone and will fit the bottom for even heat distribution. The models numbers are #100256,#1448 and #1102 being the oldest. Hope this helps anyone trying to track down stones that will fit this camping oven.
Thank you
I like the idea of putting parchment paper down under your bread
Here at my home in the Ozark hills of Missouri, It is cold and raining and going on 11pm. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you bake the fresh bread and muffins. I will have to bake bread tomorrow. I have a small home with a small stove/oven. I found it frustratingly impossible to bake cookies, cakes, anything without burning the bottoms. First on my shopping list is a big pizza stone. I think that will do the job just fine. Thank you and your subscriber for the tip.
Minus 7C here this morning but nice and sunny. The pizza stone was a great suggestion, I hope it works as well for you.
I love review vids that show me the quirks and problems resolved. Thanks for taking us through the process.
Nice Vid. The stone was the key it seems. Your bread and muffins looked perfect. Thanx.
Thank you . Yes the stone made all the difference.
Thanks Lois I'm glad someone suggested the baking stone.
Thank you for sharing . I have ordered the Coleman oven at Walmart.com ($30 ). I am ready for any emergency and can bake bread and cakes for my family . GOD BLESS
mary brandt Thank you glad you enjoyed it .
I saw someone had a small round pizza stone and they put it on the very bottom to control the heat, beautiful bread and muffins
Thanks for video Dale, looking to get one of these ovens for camping and think the pizza stone idea is the way to go
Yes the stone makes it much easier to regulate the heat.
I am very impressed at the 'crumb' you got on that loaf. Wonderful. Wish we got to hear about how the muffins were. So love the Cabin. Hope to hear more about how you get to use it, especially in the winter!
Thank you Gordon I hope to do some Cabin videos this winter.
Nothing smells as good as bread baking. Thanks for letting me know about the pronunciation of Lame, I've always wondered if I had it right.
Finally someone knows how to use it 👍
LOL It took me a while to figure it out.
Thanks so much for the tip. We now LOVE our Coleman camp oven. We have a Coleman hyperflame stove. It has very poor flame control making it too hot for the oven most of the time. We decided to purchase a Gas One 15,000 BTU single burner. It is technically more BTU's than the hyperflame but it has excellent heat control. I can regulate the oven temp down to 350 if needed. With the new burner and your suggestion of adding the stone this little oven is amazingly efficient. We can bake bread and muffins and also excellent results roasting meats. Thanks for the wonderful video!
Thank you Maria. I Agree the flame control on this thing is very sensitive and hard to control I wish I had know about the stove that Coleman sells that is a combination oven and cook top when I bought this stuff, not sure if it works any better though.
Wow, the bread looks fantastic!! I can just imagine how that cabin must have smelled with all that baking!
Funny I just ordered a rectangular pizza stone from Amazon yesterday (I dropped my round one and broke it a couple months ago). I also got myself a peel over the weekend. Great minds I guess. Although I think I will be dong most of my baking in the house. :)
Now you can make naan & pita bread too!
We enjoyed this episode very much. It is great the way that you are patient and keep experimenting.
I was thinking, put some butter on something and eat it. Yummm!! Glad it worked out. I was looking at those ovens when I bought my son and husband each one of those double burner stoves for Christmas. Glad your figuring everything out for us. Good video.
Good job! The bread and muffins look delicious. The ending shots of the sun shining on the goods was really attractive.
well Mr. Dale at least you didn't throw the instructions away love your vidos 73 years from OK city OK
LOL Thank you Norma.
That bread 🥖 came out beautiful👍🏽 🏕
Thank you 😋
Nice video. You got the baking in the oven figured out. Everything looks great and I bet it smelled great too.
Thank you David it does smell very good.
Hey Dale, Thank you so much for producing this video. It was very informative.
My wife and I just bought a Four Wheel pop-up camper for my truck. It doesn't come with a oven, so I was wondering what I was going to do in order to make baked goods. I wanted a simple way to do just that.
Then I discovered the Coleman oven on Amazon. It was , I thought, the perfect solution. With further research, I discovered your UA-cam video. I then ordered the pizza stone as well.
I'm really looking forward to trying this combination out. Thank you again for the tip about the pizza stone.
You should consider being a customer link for Amazon. I would mean some extra money for referrals to their company.
Thank you Paul I hope it works out well for you .
Always a delight to watch your channel.
Thank you .
This was a very well presented video. The bread looked great, all you needed now was some butter and a big bowl of soup or pasta to go with it. You can buy oven pans for 'toaster ovens' that are smaller than what you would buy for a large normal sized oven. They sell some very nice non-stick pans, mini muffin pans, cookie sheets, etc. that should fit nicely in a camper oven.
Glad you enjoyed it
I think the right hand burner keeps the door from swinging back toward the other burner while fiddling around inside, only to burn yourself on a melted button handle or touching a super heated door and hinge when needing to close it again. It will always be hot, but not fired-hot on the right hand burner.
Thank you for the information .
GingerRootable The propane cylinder isn't in the room it is outside the cabin. But that wouldn't effect the amount of carbon monoxide given off by the flame. The instructions with the coleman camp stove say not to use it in an enclosed area, which is why i have the co detector in the cabin, but it has never gone off. Personally I don't see how it could be anymore dangerous than a propane stove. I have one in my kitchen and use all the burners and oven frequently which of course produces co gas but not enough to be harmful.
GingerRootable Just read your comment about prepping ......I don't get it either but there are thousands doing it.
+Dale Calder you can use the propane stove inside, along with you propane heater buddy. You however CANNOT use a liquid fuel stove inside or a liquid fuel lantern. Fumes are very noticeable. The oven will get hotter with a liquid fuel stove, done outside or on your patio
+MrLmm001 Thank you for the info.
Thanks for this video Dale. I just got one of these ovens today. I LOVE it! Planning on using it in house on my gas stove for small items like corn muffins, biscuits etc. I made corn muffins today, first time out but had the opposite experience as you. Mine didn't brown but, they were delicious and moist after only 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Maybe a little higher on the temp next time. Anyhow, I'm still learning so, it was great to see the oven at work and, especially to see you bake a loaf of bread which, I was wondering about. Thanks. I also have a pizza stone that would fit inside it so, this video was a great example of that. And also, using an inside thermometer is a good idea since, you can see the 2 different temperature read outs in your video. (outside 375 but inside: 450).
You have a better gas stove than I do. Mine is propane and I can't get the oven hot enough to use on it.
Oops. I should have said "gas range"...a much better term that you used in one of your other videos describing your kitchen stove. I do have a Coleman 2 burner propane stove but, it's packed away. I plan to use this little oven in my kitchen to bake small thing, rather than turning on the big gas guzzling oven. Oh yeah, I saw that you were baking your muffins on a lower shelf. I baked mine on the top shelf so, maybe that's why mine didn't brown. Back to the "drawing board." I love to see others who experiment in order to see what the limits are. I'm like that too. All the best and thanks for these videos.
yah! Success! can almost smell the bread from here
Using the high temperature to bake bread is how bakers get what they call "Oven spring" that is the quick rise that the bread does in the oven the cuts also help with that process,they are not just there for decoration LOL. It's amazing the things they put in those instructions, quite helpful sometimes LOL. Chickens are doing fine a short chicken video in a couple of days.
Beautiful outcome, nice job. Oven tip: a little non-stick spray in the paper muffin liners before pouring the batter seems to help me. Maybe it'll help you....
Thank you I will try that sounds like a good idea.
The stone is a good idea. I have used an upside down, oven safe plate on the bottom of the stove. It worked, but I like what you did better. I think my oven door thermostat was off a good bit from the one I put inside, but I don't recall the difference, is been awhile. The last time I used mine was several years ago in a power outage. I used it on my gas stove in my house. I have a gas stove but electric oven.
I don't know why they even put that thermometer on the door it is a joke.
One new use for a Coleman oven I recently discovered is that it can be sat on an electric buffet warmer on low setting, for use proofing {rising} yeast rolls and bread. Mine just happens to give that perfect 85 to 90 degrees f. I am unaware if all buffet warmers will give similar results temperature wise.
Thank you Mark that is very interesting.
cant wait to see you cook a pizza lol looks good i could almost smell it and the stone was a real good idea thanks again for vid
The first time I tried that thermometer in the camp oven there was 100 degrees difference between it and the useless thing on the door. I haven't tried it at the house but I think that oven runs a little cool things always take longer to cook than the recipes say they should.
Thanks Steve if this hadn't worked there would have been a camp oven in a yard sale this summer. LOL
Somehow I missed this one. Excellent job with the baking.
LubecPFA Thanks Gayle. I was glad to finally figure out how to use the little camp oven.
You sir, are the David Attenborough of camp ovens 👍
LOL Thank you Michelle
Hey, frozen store bread is really good, if you get the right one.
The really good part of this video is that the STONE WORKED! Hooo Raaaa love that. I'm finally getting ready to get that oven too, and I was really interested in how the stone worked. I hope to work on getting that oven high in heat, with less fuel. maybe a nice wind shield around my burer, and a 2nd metal "insulator" around the oven. No idea really, but I do like to play with gadgets. Congrats and thank you so much for the info.
LOL... You are persistent... I must say... Cheers and happy muffin cooking!
Well darn it now you have me wanting muffins.
The man of many talents. Another very interesting and informative video. Thanks
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the video demonstration and for the pizza stone idea.
Erin Owl Thank you Erin I'm glad you found it useful.
💐💐Thank you Mr. Calder...helped me make a decision in 2019! 💐💐
Thank you LOL.
Such a wonderful video and very informative. I am wanting to get numerous bread recipes and bake bread as well. Thank you Dale!!
Tony Rutherford Thank you Tony I love to bake bread, problem is I love to eat it too LOL.
You know that is the little things in life that makes it all worth it.. Happy baking my friend!!
Thank you, I was just glad to find a way to use the little oven. Problem solved.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Someone beat me to it with the temperature conversion when I said it was 21 degrees at the end of the video that is around your room temperature of 72 degrees.
Great information, and a good video suitable for the whole family. Many thanks for your hard work getting this clip to us. Hal
Thank you .
Great solution, and great results. I heard that you could achieve similar effect by placing a solid brick on the bottom of the stove. Its suppose to absorb the heat and radiate it out more evenly. I like your pizza stone solution better. Thanks for sharing.
MrRayMac1963 Thank you .I never thought of that but it might work. As soon as we have some cooler weather I want to try the oven on my new Yotul Stove. It has a cooking surface I'm wondering if it gets hot enough to use the oven on it.
Nice to have bread and muffins
Thank you .
Good looking baked goods!
Thank you, I had fun figuring out how to make it work and now I enjoy using it.
I have already confessed to someone else it was just store boughten frozen bread dough. It was very light too light for my taste I like more texture.
Thank you. I have several bread recipes that I can share my favourite is the no knead bread, I will send you a link to my video on making it. This unfortunately was just frozen bread dough that you buy at the supermarket.
Sharing a link to this video. Thank you for the pizza stone idea.
Thank you .
Thank you. Naan and Pita now there's an idea......
Cool looks good enjoy thanks for sharing
Thank you Denise.
Thank you so much for sharing! :)
I was cringing at the temp when you put bread in but it turned out so well. Whoot whoot!!! I love it when a man finally reads the instructions, its like a woman kicked them in the butt and said do it right. 8-) Love your vids Dale. Thank you for them. How are the chickens doing?
Another option is to put a couple paver bricks in the bottom section to keep it from getting so hot and better convection.
Yes that might work.
If you decide to upgrade look at the Camp Chef Stove/Oven combo. Would work great in your cabin. Love the cabin and the videos!!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great job
Thank you .
The right hand burner instruction is for the white gas stove only. The right (main) burner has higher output than the left. On propane stoves, the output is identical side to side... Is that a Pampered chef stone? I am trying to figure out bakeware for my coleman oven...
I'm not sure what the brand name might be I got it on Amazon.
@@DaleCalderCampobello Just caught the sizes you guessed at, and found one on Amazon. 10.25 x 8". Should do the trick. I grabbed an 8x8 baking pan, already have muffin tins so I should be able to do biscuits and gravy in camp for the family! Thanks!
Very well done sir.I'm gonna get one
Thank you Alex.
Thanks Brendan.
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Loved watching this 👍😎
Thanks for the visit
Look what appeared in my feed this evening. Not sure that giving a thumbs up after 9 years will impact the algorithm, but I will anyway. Nice looking baked goods. Are you enjoying using your Breville Oven?
Yes I use it almost everyday.
Bread looks awesome. Good job
Bread recipe. Can you share its recipe???
Not really a recipe I just mixed together the basic ingredients and made a small loaf.
What a great success!
The stone is 8X11. I think the one I ordered was supposed to be 10X7 but this is what they sent and it fits the over just fine.
Dale Calder Where did you buy your stone?
Thank you for posting.
You're welcome
Wrong video to watch as I just started a low-carb diet. It all looks awesome... pure torture! : )
LOL Thank you.
Exactly.
Oh Wow! I gotta have your bread recipe, it looks outstanding. Was it light? how did it carve up? I'm so happy the stone worked. I was sure it would, but you never know until you try it. Now I know to use one too. Thank you!
I have also done that when trial and error failed I finally broke down and read the instructions. The stone idea was good and the outcome was great. I did notice that the temperature on the outside (door) thermometer was not the same as the one inside. Have you checked the inside thermometer in your oven in the house?
No I have a co monitor in the cabin so it isn't a problem.
Thank you LOL a very small bake shop.
I wish that I could smell that bread through the screen!
LOL Smell-a-vision would be a big improvement.
I just picked up one of these on sale because we love to cook when we camp, but I was attempting to cut down on the time we spend on our creations. Ha ha ha. Your video did not help that one bit.
Great videos!! Where did you buy the pizza stone? I am looking for one for my oven? Thanks
I got it on Amazon you look for a toaster oven size stone. www.amazon.ca/Kitchen-Supply-Toaster-7-Inch-10-Inch/dp/B000QJBNHY/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1492962093&sr=8-11&keywords=pizza+stone
ohhh my, that bread is amazing. you truly made that yourself from flour???!
Yes 😊
It was.
Perhaps the best demo I've seen yet using the Coleman Oven. Great video! Where by chance did you get that peel?
Thank you Stevie. I'm not sure but likely on Amazon. I think this is the same one: www.amazon.ca/Winco-App-20-Pizza-20-Inch-Aluminum/dp/B00C0NADMK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1508104636&sr=8-10&keywords=pizza+peel+aluminum
Many thanks, Dale!
I want your bread recipe! Lol
I don't have one for the bread that I make in the Cabin.
Great video! where did you get the stone? was it 8x11? I can't find one that size. Dying to try making some muffins and bread, I have just been using mine to warm stuff up. THANKS
I got it on Amazon but they aren't easy to find.
you cook very well. was you a chef once.
Thank you no just have always liked cooking.
At 6:30in the video, the Coleman stove thermometer reads just under 300 degrees. However, as you open the oven door, your thermometer inside the oven reads 400 degrees. Which temperature reading was more accurate? Thanks for sharing your video!
The one inside the oven is accurate the one on the door is a joke LOL.
I don't think it matters which burner on the propane stoves as both burners are at the same btu. On the Coleman dual fuel white gas stoves the main burner is like 13000 btu and auxillary burner is 11000 and on the liquid stove the auxillary burner doesn't have a fine control, just a butterfly side valve. On propane I doubt seriously it matters much and besides that on your model I would rather have oven away from the plastic adjustment knobs to prevent damage by heat reflection down on the knobs.
Thank you Daniel.
Where did you get the pizza stone that fit so perfectly in the Coleman Oven? I've been searching, but can't find one that small. Great video, very informative. Thank You
Thank you . I know I bought it online but not sure if it was Amazon or not but I see they carry small stones. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=small+pizza+stone measure your oven before you order one.
