i saw this stove on Emergency Essentials .I wonder if the creator of this stove is the same person who invented the VESTA Self-Powered Indoor Space Heater & Stove by InstaFire with Canned Heat?
Hi, my name is Garold Williams. I watched your video and it is very well done! I just have to add a little to what Konel said, when you asked him who invented the Ember. In his excitement, he forgot to say that him and I are both the inventors. Konel and I have developed several products, the first being the Vest heater/stove.
Hey, since you're one of the inventors, perhaps you can answer a question. I'm super-interested in this to expand my camp-cooking options. If you are using sticks and twigs to start a fire and heat up the oven and then switch to charcoal for sustained heat, will the smoke from the sticks and twigs impart any unpleasant smoky flavors to the food in the oven? While I like that you can use canned heat, I would prefer to use charcoal for sustained heat since i've always got some Kingsford, but I don't always have canned heat and don't want to store another fuel source.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!! I have a Vesta- I can't tell you what a difference it's made!! I live in a 29 ft Fireball fiver that wasn't well taken care of before I got it. Electric heaters would only keep a section warm at a time. I took the chance and bought a Vesta because it would be cheaper than buying and installing a wood stove. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! In 20 degrees outside, 3 chafing fuels (6 hr fuels from Sams), the electric heater on med (it's all the wiring here can handle) and instead of wearing a coat inside and hoping for spring, It remained 70-74 inside and I was comfortable and warm. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!! I saw a listing for the instafire oven and I've been saving ever since . I live in NM and it's blazing hot in the summer, so I can take this outside and bake. Inside during our freezing winters, I can bake and heat at the same time without running up the electric bill. I can't say enough good about the Vesta. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!
That is a good solution. I kept my daughters Easy Bake oven for emergencies, as I can run that off my solar and solar generator in a grid down or SHTF situation.
I thought my wife was going to hyperventilate when she first saw this, lol. She loves prepping gadgets. I think her words were, "I've been waiting for something like this *forever*!" 😆
I wonder if you could put a couple of 12x12 tiles or stones in a large sheet metal baking pan under it? Just make sure it sits flat. The stones will heat as the oven works, and will radiate that heat back out for radiant warmth, when it's cold. It's an added layer of protection against the surface under the oven, as well.
In 1955 my mother had a indoor outdoor oven. I remember her baking bread outside. She had an open flame stove she used outside. She would set the oven over the burner it would heat to temperature very fast. The stove was similar to a large Coleman, it had 4 legs and was about the height of a regular stove. It had two or three burners. I haven’t been able to find an oven like she had. I remember the bread she baked in this oven. Two or three loaves at a time. Pies and Cake’s too.
@@pattiannepascual I wish I knew. It was years ago. I have looked, the closest one I seen was at Bass Pro about three years ago. It was in the camping section. They probably still sell them.
I've got an oven that sits on top of the 2 burner propane camp stove. Not a full size oven, more comparable to a toaster oven size. I bought it from Amazon.
Ordered mine this past Saturday. Should be here by tues. This is awesome got mine off patriot supply. Got 5 non interest payments which really helps. Have a blessed day🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
I love my Vesta heater, and this InstaFire Ember would be awesome to add to my preps. I could help warm my sunroom and bake. How COOL!!! I love this - gotta have it. Being able to use it outdoors with sticks - AMAZING!!! This video is much appreciated; thank you.
I just looked up the price of Canned Heat the cheapest I found was $2.97 and you need two of them so that's about $6 plus tax and they only run for approximately 2 hours so it's going to cost you $6 every time you want to bake something in that oven. And don't forget that's not all cooking time with those cans because you have to preheat this with that same can that you have to cook with with a 2-hour run time. And when the stores run out of that fuel there goes that option. I wish they would have spent more time on being able to use sticks and small kindling to run this so you don't have to purchase stuff at the store to be able to use it.
Thank you so much for bringing us all ways to survive during grid down. I have learned so much over the last 2 years. I will be able to cook and heat with the Ember oven and my 2 Vestas!
My budget is on life support, but I've just left the InstaFire site after ordering this gem! I had seen this in an email only a few days ago, but couldn't see how things (primarily bread, etc.) would be able to brown on the bottom. Konel explained that well, so I'll be receiving the oven soon :) Order total was $10 less than MPS using the discount code. THANKS!
Good review, and I like Jonathan and Kylene emphasizing safety with fire, especially indoors. The Ember looks like a good indoor option, especially for small families that store gel alcohol fuel. I wish Kylene had shown how her small baked item turned out, evenly cooked or not, and how it compared to full size oven results with more controlled heating, and how long it took. Like bake 2 loaves of bread, one in the conventional oven and one in the Ember and show them side by side. It would have been truly awesome to compare the Ember to the Omnia Oven which also works indoors on any kind of burner, including liquid alcohol, or to a Dutch oven, or to a traditional outdoor camping oven like the Coleman, or golly, all of them.. It also looks small, like a toaster oven, so what is the largest pan that fits? Can you bake a round 2 pan cake? Roast a whole chicken? It doesn't look like it.
The inside of the oven is right at 8 x 11 - so you will only get one loaf at a time - we had to decide how big to make it being portable like it is. You will love it.
I totally should have done that. It sounds like I need to make another video. It bakes surprisingly evenly. I was shocked. I have the propane Coleman oven and that always is dark on one side. Konel did a great job with this design.
It's great that you think about the safety aspect and potential for fire getting out of control ... This being said, may I suggest that you look into a couple of "fire blankets" that can quickly extinguish any fire (including a grease fire on the stove eg) because simply placing the blanket over the fire will cut off the oxygen .. better than a fire extinguisher, because you won't ruin your kitchen with chemicals, and no worries about being outdated and insufficient to take care of the fire !!! Fire blankets are inexpensive and I would bet that your local fire department would be happy to give a demonstration etc !!!
@@herbhoffmannbeck7584 Those fire blankets can shed fiberglass though which is less than ideal. I picked up an Element Fire Extinguisher for in the kitchen. It won't ruin your kitchen and is safe to breathe. They're just a bit pricey.
I love this! I am all set for outdoor cooking, but nothing for inside. I have been thinking about getting a butane stove for indoors, i may be saving for this as well. Thanks for the excellent information you provided. I agreed with another poster, would love to see something baked, with the final product shown!
Received my stove a week or so ago. We have tried it twice. Both times with underwhelming results. The first time, we couldn't get it up to 200 degrees. Today, I made some adjustments, and I was able to reach 340 I am using a combination of twigs, bark, and charcoal. It took 40 minutes to cook the biscuits. I haven't tried the cans yet. To be honest, after the first attempt, I was ready to throw this in the dumpster. After today's success and watching this video. I am willing to give it more time. Cans will be next. Patience is a MUST!
Oh my. This is just excellent!!!! Love it! So far I have a mini grill that uses charcoal; a small grate to put over a camp fire with a sm pot; some bricks, wire rack and a bunch of tea lights to warm up some water or food (low tech); all the makings for a rocket stove; a mini butane burner (outside); some can heat but really no way to use them in controlled fashion indoors. This will be a great item to round out the handful of items I have for alternate cooking. Love it! Thx for sharing! ❤❤❤. Ps and I have a new carbon monoxide detector to use for any of the above items for safety. Will cook outdoors for everything and the ember will give me an inside choice. Yay!
As an added note, I would suggest that if you are using charcoal, that you use natural charcoal ONLY, and not the pressed briquettes that have petroleum binders to help them burn quickly ... You probably don't want to be eating a meal that tastes like licking the gas pump !!!
Thank you so much for this video! I bought one and haven't used it yet- I need a day off to try it- You always give such great tips and instructions! So glad you Bless and share with others! Your videos are a Blessing to me!❤
We just got our, The bundle from MYP, with the carrying case and 24 cans of canned heat, and 12 bags fire starter and matches. On Labor day special. Love it! So great to have something to use indoors.
Learning from my grandmother who grew up during WW1/2 and the Depression she always tried to prepare, and that seems to have rubbed off on me. My current camping/emergency biomass prep gear list: 2 Solo Fire Pits, Solo Stove Campfire, Kelly Kettle and now the Ember. Next is a compact pvc well pump and water filtration.
So excited to get one of these. Waiting for SSCheck to come. Off the subject, do you know where I can purchase a Comfrey plant. I live in West Jordan Utah? I really enjoy your channel I watch it everyday. Thanks so much for all you do to help us prepare for what may be coming.🙏
Bocking 14 or Russian Comfrey (sterile variety so that the seeds don't make your yard into one giant comfrey patch), I recommend getting it from Seeds for Generations bit.ly/3lQXXlG Reach out to me on the contact us page of our website theprovidentprepper.org/contact-us/
Fantastic..Just have to reset your mind on cooking preps/ times .. Just think back when cooking with fire was all our Ancestors had, they started dinners in th AM, they'd loved this oven....😉♥️🥀
In winter, using canned heat, you can bake and add heat to a room. You would be using that fuel for cooking and getting a little extra heating at the same time.
We have a large gas grill with a cover. It does have to stay outside, but we do believe we can adjust the temperature a little better than we can this little oven. Seeing your demonstration I am not sure I want to bake anything like a casserole that would take an hour, or two and sit there constantly adjusting it. We can put our gas grill right outside the sliding glass door. From there we can see the temperature on the temperature gage and quickly turn the knob up or down if it needs adjustment. We also have large umbrellas and can put the grill under a balcony onto the patio under it for protection from snow or rain. Soooo, before I buy the Ember I am going to experiment with the gas grill. We have multiple freezers so if I do lots of small single or double serving meals in aluminum pans then we can heat what we need if it needs high heat. I also have two smaller round Crome chaffers, and one large professional sized one that holds 2 9 x 13 pans, or one ginormous pan in that space. With two sterno cans I can easily have the water in the bottom pan boiling and it would heat freezer meals quite nicely, although it definitely would take longer than our ovens….although I am thinking better than trying to heat up and maintain the Ember at 350-400 degrees for any amount of time. Soooo, I am going to gamble and go for 2-3 extra 20 lb butane tanks. I can let a freezer meal thaw, then heat it in the chaffers. I will practice baking biscuits and smaller yeast rolls, and even loaves of bread and see just what it takes to do that in the grill. We also have two solar power sources and might be able to power our little electric skillets and make pan bread and tortillas. You have me thinking, and I already have all of that equipment. By the way, I did make breakfast and a boxed macaroni and cheese dinner by pulling an oven rack out of my electric stove and putting a 27 oz can of food from the pantry under each corner. I cooked the macaroni under 2 cans of sterno to get it boiling in a reasonable way; I used one can of sterno under my omelette pan and fried eggs and, bacon, and sausage (and I have stocked up some brown and serve sausages just for when our power might go out. We can toast bread in the omelette pan…slow process for 6 people but it worked…..and might be able to toast in my square grill pan that came with my cookware…I did not try it because we ate in shifts. And, of course if I bake biscuits, then I only need to make the sausage gravy on my oven rack stove while the biscuits bake in the gas grill. Long, but I will let you know how my tests come out. By the way, we live at 8,600’ altitude on the front Range of the Rocky Mountains…about 30 min up out of Colorado Springs. We definitely can give that gas grill a good test. I may be out there in my fur coat cooking! And, I am 77.5 years old, birthday in March. LOL. My husband is 82 yrs will be 83 in June. Thankfully we are both strong and healthy compared to most people our ages which is a blessing.
It was mentioned several times that the units metal areas heat up. Have you tried to boil a small pot of water on top of the oven while you're cooking in it? As always thank you for the review.
It gets very warm to the touch but not hot enough to boil water on the top of the oven itself. The heat from the exhaust heat would do that though. You would have to have something to elevate the pot a little over the exhaust vent but - yes that would do it
@@konelbanner4976so are you saying that my stainless steel kettle could get the heat on the exhaust (is that the flat section you’re using twig additions?) but would need to be raised? How would we accomplish that? Any recommendations? On the other part (over the oven) would some water in a couple of stainless cups get hot enough for instant coffee or tea? Thanks Konel.
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both. The Ember uses fuel more efficiently but does not generally have the capacity of a Dutch oven. I love how it can be used indoors.
I converted my 27 year old charbroil grill into a wood oven. I can cook on it with cast iron cookware on the top. I use a dutch oven to bake chicken etc and it works great...you dont even have to watch it closely.😮
I want this!! I do have the Vesta….and we have Coleman stoves, butane burners, but an oven….what a perk! Have you tried to bake freshly made rolls and/or bread? If so, what were those results?
rolls, breads, pies, cinnamon rolls, rhubarb crisp, burritos, chicken - done it all - learn how to regulate the heat and you will be walking in tall cotton
Wonder how hot the top gets.. Might be able to boil water on it too which would be a great option too.. Bake and boil at the same time.. Maybe fry some eggs as well

Thanks fur this video, I've been thinking about buying one of these. I've already followed Rose Red Homestead's video on cooking bread outside. So I'll see how it goes first.
First I want to say I really enjoy watching your videos. Any advice on what I can get in order to filter water for storage? Also for dirty water or lake water in an emergency?
Thanks for asking. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/C1Jg8QQWf4k/v-deo.html and post theprovidentprepper.org/emergency-water-filters-guiding-you-through-the-maze/
Yes you can use pellets. The grate is small enough that they will work. However, you need to add them a few at a time. If you add a cup then it gets smoky and takes a minute to catch ... don't ask me how I know :)
I have a solar oven.Green egg With experience for making biochar to feed it. My old civil war replica fire box with chimney for heating Tents. A Bio?? that uses sticks for heating a pot .
The manufacturer couldn’t paint the oven with wood stove, heat resistant paint? True, it’s for emergency and aesthetics should be the focal point, but you don’t want to have to also deal with peeling paint near food.
If you use this link bit.ly/3py16J2 the code will autofill at check out. It should be $169.96 with free shipping. Taxes are probably added at checkout.
This looks so complicated!! ...I recommend the All American Sun Oven...Soo very simple to use. Inside or outside All solar. No flame. No danger.. as seen on UA-cam- Off Grid with Doug & Stacy
I love the Sun Oven! The problem is that if you don't have sun, you can't use it. That means poor weather and anytime except between 10 am and 4 pm you can't bake. I would always go to my Sun Oven first if that is an option. It is really easy. It just isn't always an option. I LOVE both the Ember and the VESTA. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/8u-LOtcYQ5I/v-deo.html
@@TheProvidentPrepper We get full sun probably 360 days/year. The. AASunOven allows stacking several foods at one time. It Sounded like Ember needs different paint. The Sun Oven does work on cloudy days, just needs more cooking time.
Remember to keep a window cracked a little whenever using this much flame indoors. I mean the canned heat, obviously the alternate biomass method should be outdoors only.
Is the Safe heat from Sam’s club still considered alright to use in this oven? I do not see the previous video where Konnel said it was ok to use it along with the alcohol burner. Was that video taken down?
Coleman outdoor camping company has had a oven of their own for years though. So idk how the Ember is the first.... More like the 3rd or 4th. Coleman has a nice metal one, few people copied Coleman after that. Ember seems like the 3rd or 4th oven to the market not first.
The difference is that it can be used both indoors and outdoors. I have the Coleman. It is nice and runs off propane but it isn't good for indoor use. That's what makes this one unique :)
@@TheProvidentPrepper I guess where I live it's not uncommon to have your house oven also use propane. You can use propane inside your house despite what some may say. USA has lot of natural gas but not everywhere still. People are using propane ovens and fireplaces inside without issue for dozens of years.
Can you ask Connel to work on a "Rocket **MASS** Stove that acts like the Ember Oven and Vesta Stove/Heater combined?? Three in one unit that resolves use of twigs/sticks indoors with miniscule smoke/smell from fuel?? I'd love a 3-in-1 product that uses Mass technology. See Rocket Mass Stove design/builds from Wheaton Labs. Thank you!!!! I (Pat Melchor in NC) am a beginner Prepper with little money (disability income) to spend and the need of multi-use easy and safe (not scary like Butane or propane) products that are also relatively portable. Thank you!!
@@kam2162 Yes they should work fine however the Instafire canned heat has been refined one more time and there isn't a chemical smell like you get with the sterno from Sams. The temperature regulating will be slightly different as well but that is easily overcome.

The Hobby Farm Guys were talking about a dexter cow that is high milk, meat and labor and is a dwarf cow breed suitable for smaller paddocks. They have wholesome tips on barn yard animals like chicken varieties and diseases. Great for live preppers. Do you have any tips on high yield low maintenance barn yard animals suitable for prepping?
A goat might be one. They eat just about anything and you can get goat’s milk and cheese from them. Chickens for sure. My friend has backyard chickens in the city.😆
So…I bought one of these and quickly found out that my bread pan fit in it, but not much else. I do have a glass baking pan that fit, so I decided to try making brownies in it (I was using canned heat.) Not only did they take a LONG time, but only the top really got done-they were quite gooey underneath. The temperature remained between 300 and 350, so I’m not sure what went wrong. Are there some metal pans (other than bread pans) that will fit in this? I’m thinking that a metal pan might bake better in it.
I found a few from reviews and videos. Haven’t tried them personally. Instafire has a 3 pack of pans for the Ember Oven Instant Pot Official Non-Stick Fluted Cake Pan Instant Pot Round Cake pan (7x7), Nordic Ware 2pc Broiler set (8.4" x 6.3") Deedro Stainless Steel Cookie Half Sheets Baking Pan Oven Tray with Rack, 9.33 x 7 x 1 Inch
Should this oven be stored in a Faraday bag, just in case of an EMP? I know it is not electrical, but not sure if it had other parts that would be damaged. Thank you.
Efficient or sustainable? I love indoors because the canned heat is super easy to work with and doesn't take much tending. However, there is pretty much an endless supply of sticks and twigs so in a tough situation you will always have outdoor cooking fuel. It worked really nicely with charcoal.
I'm still on the Sun Oven and the bushcraft version of an oven. I like that dude. Not sure why it's so expensive ... $169.95 is more than I could pay for that at this time. Note: The Sun Oven was a gift. kek
I bought my VESTA through My Patriot Supply on sale for $100. I did the payment plan option. I paid it off over three months. It came in three days from the day I ordered it.

This made me laugh! I felt the same when I saw it.
I’m seriously thinking of getting one of these.. I never know when we might lose power here .. I need something I can use indoors..
I wonder if you could put a couple of 12x12 tiles or stones in a large sheet metal baking pan under it? Just make sure it sits flat. The stones will heat as the oven works, and will radiate that heat back out for radiant warmth, when it's cold. It's an added layer of protection against the surface under the oven, as well.

I wish Kylene had shown how her small baked item turned out, evenly cooked or not, and how it compared to full size oven results with more controlled heating, and how long it took. Like bake 2 loaves of bread, one in the conventional oven and one in the Ember and show them side by side.
It would have been truly awesome to compare the Ember to the Omnia Oven which also works indoors on any kind of burner, including liquid alcohol, or to a Dutch oven, or to a traditional outdoor camping oven like the Coleman, or golly, all of them..
It also looks small, like a toaster oven, so what is the largest pan that fits? Can you bake a round 2 pan cake? Roast a whole chicken? It doesn't look like it.
The inside of the oven is right at 8 x 11 - so you will only get one loaf at a time - we had to decide how big to make it being portable like it is. You will love it.
I totally should have done that. It sounds like I need to make another video. It bakes surprisingly evenly. I was shocked. I have the propane Coleman oven and that always is dark on one side. Konel did a great job with this design.
It's great that you think about the safety aspect and potential for fire getting out of control ... This being said, may I suggest that you look into a couple of "fire blankets" that can quickly extinguish any fire (including a grease fire on the stove eg) because simply placing the blanket over the fire will cut off the oxygen .. better than a fire extinguisher, because you won't ruin your kitchen with chemicals, and no worries about being outdated and insufficient to take care of the fire !!! Fire blankets are inexpensive and I would bet that your local fire department would be happy to give a demonstration etc !!!
I ordered one of these gizmos, so that’s how I’ll bake. I also have a cast iron wood burning stove for stove top cooking.
@@herbhoffmannbeck7584 Those fire blankets can shed fiberglass though which is less than ideal. I picked up an Element Fire Extinguisher for in the kitchen. It won't ruin your kitchen and is safe to breathe. They're just a bit pricey.
I love this! I am all set for outdoor cooking, but nothing for inside. I have been thinking about getting a butane stove for indoors, i may be saving for this as well. Thanks for the excellent information you provided. I agreed with another poster, would love to see something baked, with the final product shown!
Received my stove a week or so ago. We have tried it twice. Both times with underwhelming results. The first time, we couldn't get it up to 200 degrees. Today, I made some adjustments, and I was able to reach 340
I am using a combination of twigs, bark, and charcoal. It took 40 minutes to cook the biscuits. I haven't tried the cans yet. To be honest, after the first attempt, I was ready to throw this in the dumpster. After today's success and watching this video. I am willing to give it more time. Cans will be next. Patience is a MUST!
You got this! There is a learning curve. Are you opening the vents to let air feed the fire?
Oh my. This is just excellent!!!! Love it! So far I have a mini grill that uses charcoal; a small grate to put over a camp fire with a sm pot; some bricks, wire rack and a bunch of tea lights to warm up some water or food (low tech); all the makings for a rocket stove; a mini butane burner (outside); some can heat but really no way to use them in controlled fashion indoors. This will be a great item to round out the handful of items I have for alternate cooking. Love it! Thx for sharing! ❤❤❤. Ps and I have a new carbon monoxide detector to use for any of the above items for safety. Will cook outdoors for everything and the ember will give me an inside choice. Yay!
It's people like you that we made this for - only tip is use it so you can get used to how to regulate the heat - then it will be so natural and fun
@@konelbanner4976 Thanks Konel! It is a wonderful solution! Appreciate your efforts making this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you used your outside cooking with the tea light candles? How did that go? How many candles did it take to boil a small pan of water?
On my "to buy when I find work" list!
I'm still praying for you!
@@TheProvidentPrepper thank you!!! You and half my ward it sounds like!
As an added note, I would suggest that if you are using charcoal, that you use natural charcoal ONLY, and not the pressed briquettes that have petroleum binders to help them burn quickly ... You probably don't want to be eating a meal that tastes like licking the gas pump !!!
I appreciate your information with the good and the bad issues.
GOD Bless you and your family
Thank you for all your videos. I like this oven so much I order one. I’ll been looking for a biomass oven for the longest. God bless
Ordered my oven and canned 😊 fuel yesterday feel so much better
Thank you so much for this video! I bought one and haven't used it yet- I need a day off to try it- You always give such great tips and instructions! So glad you Bless and share with others! Your videos are a Blessing to me!❤
I am ordering the wood stove fan that runs with heat (like the Vesta) and put it on the oven and this will help heat the room while baking.
We just got our, The bundle from MYP, with the carrying case and 24 cans of canned heat, and 12 bags fire starter and matches. On Labor day special. Love it! So great to have something to use indoors.
Lonely is VERY clever! What a useful tool for cooking! 👍🏻 That price is reasonable as well!
This looks great! Ordering mine now. I love how it can switch to biomass when the canned heat runs out.
Learning from my grandmother who grew up during WW1/2 and the Depression she always tried to prepare, and that seems to have rubbed off on me. My current camping/emergency biomass prep gear list: 2 Solo Fire Pits, Solo Stove Campfire, Kelly Kettle and now the Ember. Next is a compact pvc well pump and water filtration.
So excited to get one of these. Waiting for SSCheck to come. Off the subject, do you know where I can purchase a Comfrey plant. I live in West Jordan Utah? I really enjoy your channel I watch it everyday. Thanks so much for all you do to help us prepare for what may be coming.🙏
Bocking 14 or Russian Comfrey (sterile variety so that the seeds don't make your yard into one giant comfrey patch), I recommend getting it from Seeds for Generations bit.ly/3lQXXlG Reach out to me on the contact us page of our website theprovidentprepper.org/contact-us/
Fantastic..Just have to reset your mind on cooking preps/ times ..
Just think back when cooking with fire was all our Ancestors had, they started dinners in th AM, they'd loved this oven....😉♥️🥀
Ya - love the ancestor thought -
Great option when the power is out. Thank you for all your great videos!
In winter, using canned heat, you can bake and add heat to a room. You would be using that fuel for cooking and getting a little extra heating at the same time.
So true - you will love cooking with it as well
Terrific Konel, thank you for sharing this video Jonathan and Kylene. Something else to save for. Happy trails!
You will love it - and so much more to come -
Thanks for the video. This has been sitting in my shopping cart for a while, I'm about to complete the order now.
We have a large gas grill with a cover. It does have to stay outside, but we do believe we can adjust the temperature a little better than we can this little oven. Seeing your demonstration I am not sure I want to bake anything like a casserole that would take an hour, or two and sit there constantly adjusting it. We can put our gas grill right outside the sliding glass door. From there we can see the temperature on the temperature gage and quickly turn the knob up or down if it needs adjustment. We also have large umbrellas and can put the grill under a balcony onto the patio under it for protection from snow or rain. Soooo, before I buy the Ember I am going to experiment with the gas grill. We have multiple freezers so if I do lots of small single or double serving meals in aluminum pans then we can heat what we need if it needs high heat. I also have two smaller round Crome chaffers, and one large professional sized one that holds 2 9 x 13 pans, or one ginormous pan in that space. With two sterno cans I can easily have the water in the bottom pan boiling and it would heat freezer meals quite nicely, although it definitely would take longer than our ovens….although I am thinking better than trying to heat up and maintain the Ember at 350-400 degrees for any amount of time. Soooo, I am going to gamble and go for 2-3 extra 20 lb butane tanks. I can let a freezer meal thaw, then heat it in the chaffers. I will practice baking biscuits and smaller yeast rolls, and even loaves of bread and see just what it takes to do that in the grill. We also have two solar power sources and might be able to power our little electric skillets and make pan bread and tortillas. You have me thinking, and I already have all of that equipment. By the way, I did make breakfast and a boxed macaroni and cheese dinner by pulling an oven rack out of my electric stove and putting a 27 oz can of food from the pantry under each corner. I cooked the macaroni under 2 cans of sterno to get it boiling in a reasonable way; I used one can of sterno under my omelette pan and fried eggs and, bacon, and sausage (and I have stocked up some brown and serve sausages just for when our power might go out. We can toast bread in the omelette pan…slow process for 6 people but it worked…..and might be able to toast in my square grill pan that came with my cookware…I did not try it because we ate in shifts. And, of course if I bake biscuits, then I only need to make the sausage gravy on my oven rack stove while the biscuits bake in the gas grill. Long, but I will let you know how my tests come out. By the way, we live at 8,600’ altitude on the front Range of the Rocky Mountains…about 30 min up out of Colorado Springs. We definitely can give that gas grill a good test. I may be out there in my fur coat cooking! And, I am 77.5 years old, birthday in March. LOL. My husband is 82 yrs will be 83 in June. Thankfully we are both strong and healthy compared to most people our ages which is a blessing.
You are awesome!
I’m getting one of these. Better safe than sorry in these uncertain times
Great emergency oven...it is just so cool!
so kind - you will love it
Loved your demo watching from Australia
OMG SOLD. I have a sketchy put together for baking on the top of my parents' woodstove, but this is far safer and nicer.
Love it - just takes a time or two to learn how to regulate the heat and after that - bingo - totally fun
Watched your video and decided to purchase this stove. Looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks so much for the video!! I'm appreciative for learning more about this heater/stove.
Just received mine today, can't wait to use it 👍 Thank you soo much for your great explanations ❤ I also bought the carrier bag 😊
It was mentioned several times that the units metal areas heat up. Have you tried to boil a small pot of water on top of the oven while you're cooking in it? As always thank you for the review.
It gets very warm to the touch but not hot enough to boil water on the top of the oven itself. The heat from the exhaust heat would do that though. You would have to have something to elevate the pot a little over the exhaust vent but - yes that would do it
@@konelbanner4976so are you saying that my stainless steel kettle could get the heat on the exhaust (is that the flat section you’re using twig additions?) but would need to be raised? How would we accomplish that? Any recommendations? On the other part (over the oven) would some water in a couple of stainless cups get hot enough for instant coffee or tea? Thanks Konel.
What's the outdoor benefit over the simple as a rock 3 legged cast iron camp dutch oven?
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both. The Ember uses fuel more efficiently but does not generally have the capacity of a Dutch oven. I love how it can be used indoors.
I converted my 27 year old charbroil grill into a wood oven. I can cook on it with cast iron cookware on the top. I use a dutch oven to bake chicken etc and it works great...you dont even have to watch it closely.😮
I would love to see that! Reach out to me at theprovidentprepper.org/contact-us/
This is an awesome product! Can't wait to get one. Appreciate the safety tips. Could you please tell us the size baking dish you used?
the inside of the oven is right at 11" x 8" deep x 5" tall - you will love it
I want this!! I do have the Vesta….and we have Coleman stoves, butane burners, but an oven….what a perk! Have you tried to bake freshly made rolls and/or bread? If so, what were those results?
My bread turned out great. Baked evenly with no dark spots. It fits a full size loaf of bread. It does cook a bit slower but it was awesome.
rolls, breads, pies, cinnamon rolls, rhubarb crisp, burritos, chicken - done it all - learn how to regulate the heat and you will be walking in tall cotton
Love this! Would you also share the link to the glass pan you cooked your meal in? Thanks for sharing.
This channel's content is awesome!
Looks like a really great product!
You will love it - takes a minute to learn to regulate the heat but not bad at all -
Thanks so very much for the information and tips. I ordered one - seems very useful for inside use. :)
Use it so you can get used to how to regulate the temp and you will love it like I do
I bought the COBB BBQ. Before I saw this. I’m experimenting with it. Some say it can bake as well. I’m going to try it.
Ingenious design!
Wonder how hot the top gets.. Might be able to boil water on it too which would be a great option too.. Bake and boil at the same time.. Maybe fry some eggs as well
it gets very warm to the touch but not hot enough to boil water on the top of the oven itself. The heat from the exhaust heat would do that though. You would have to have something to elevate the pot a little over the exhaust vent but - yes that would do it
Thanks fur this video, I've been thinking about buying one of these. I've already followed Rose Red Homestead's video on cooking bread outside. So I'll see how it goes first.
This seems a little small for a big family. We have 12 kids and 34 grandkids. Do you know if they are going to come out with a larger version?
Does the top get hot enough to cook or heat up water for say coffee?
this is a great idea though for emergency needs
You will love it
First I want to say I really enjoy watching your videos. Any advice on what I can get in order to filter water for storage? Also for dirty water or lake water in an emergency?
Thanks for asking. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/C1Jg8QQWf4k/v-deo.html and post theprovidentprepper.org/emergency-water-filters-guiding-you-through-the-maze/
can you use wood pellets in it? if so, is there a pellet insert that's needed for it or no?
Yes you can use pellets. The grate is small enough that they will work. However, you need to add them a few at a time. If you add a cup then it gets smoky and takes a minute to catch ... don't ask me how I know :)
Very informative video - thank you so much for it. Without it I probably would have had poor results from using my stove wrong. 🥰
What is the largest size dish that can go in the oven?
I have a solar oven.Green egg With experience for making biochar to feed it. My old civil war replica fire box with chimney for heating Tents. A Bio?? that uses sticks for heating a pot .
Will regular sterno work instead of canned heat with wick?
The manufacturer couldn’t paint the oven with wood stove, heat resistant paint? True, it’s for emergency and aesthetics should be the focal point, but you don’t want to have to also deal with peeling paint near food.
I wasn’t able to get the promo code to work. Is $182 the price after your promo code? Thanks.
If you use this link bit.ly/3py16J2 the code will autofill at check out. It should be $169.96 with free shipping. Taxes are probably added at checkout.
This looks so complicated!!
...I recommend the All American Sun Oven...Soo very simple to use. Inside or outside
All solar. No flame. No danger.. as seen on UA-cam- Off Grid with Doug & Stacy
Yes they are fantastic but they’re $499 and the Ember is only $199 or $169 with discount.
I love the Sun Oven! The problem is that if you don't have sun, you can't use it. That means poor weather and anytime except between 10 am and 4 pm you can't bake. I would always go to my Sun Oven first if that is an option. It is really easy. It just isn't always an option. I LOVE both the Ember and the VESTA. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/8u-LOtcYQ5I/v-deo.html
Too true. Yes the Ember takes more effort but the fact you can use it anytime is fantastic. Do they ship to Australia?
@@TheProvidentPrepper We get full sun probably 360 days/year. The. AASunOven allows stacking several foods at one time. It
Sounded like Ember needs different paint. The Sun Oven does work on cloudy days, just needs more cooking time.
Oh I wish we got that much sun. The size and ability to stack in the Sun Oven is fantastic especially for our large family.
This is a fantastic idea
Thanks - enjoy - 5 years in the making
Looks like a very cool idea. I can’t find an answer on their website. Do you know if they ship to Australia?
Remember to keep a window cracked a little whenever using this much flame indoors. I mean the canned heat, obviously the alternate biomass method should be outdoors only.
Thank you for the review & link.
you will love it
Wow, cool I love it
Thanks - I’ve ordered one.
Thanks so much - you will love it
Is the Safe heat from Sam’s club still considered alright to use in this oven?
I do not see the previous video where Konnel said it was ok to use it along with the alcohol burner. Was that video taken down?
Konel has never encouraged it to be used with an alcohol burner .... however, you can use it with stick and twigs outside.
Where can I find the canned heat heat shield and snuffer?
Can't wait for mine to get here
You will love it - just use it and have fun with it
What size of aluminum trays will it fit?
2:36 anything I buy like this, I always do a burn outside with no cooking. I do the same with Mr Heater Buddy as well
Coleman outdoor camping company has had a oven of their own for years though. So idk how the Ember is the first.... More like the 3rd or 4th. Coleman has a nice metal one, few people copied Coleman after that. Ember seems like the 3rd or 4th oven to the market not first.
The difference is that it can be used both indoors and outdoors. I have the Coleman. It is nice and runs off propane but it isn't good for indoor use. That's what makes this one unique :)
@@TheProvidentPrepper I guess where I live it's not uncommon to have your house oven also use propane. You can use propane inside your house despite what some may say.
USA has lot of natural gas but not everywhere still. People are using propane ovens and fireplaces inside without issue for dozens of years.
Can you ask Connel to work on a "Rocket **MASS** Stove that acts like the Ember Oven and Vesta Stove/Heater combined?? Three in one unit that resolves use of twigs/sticks indoors with miniscule smoke/smell from fuel?? I'd love a 3-in-1 product that uses Mass technology. See Rocket Mass Stove design/builds from Wheaton Labs. Thank you!!!! I (Pat Melchor in NC) am a beginner Prepper with little money (disability income) to spend and the need of multi-use easy and safe (not scary like Butane or propane) products that are also relatively portable. Thank you!!
I am curious if I could use the indoor safe heat from sams club with this item. It’s so much cheaper than the insta fire
I was wondering the same. I already have some cans from Sam's and Costco.
@@kam2162 Yes they should work fine however the Instafire canned heat has been refined one more time and there isn't a chemical smell like you get with the sterno from Sams. The temperature regulating will be slightly different as well but that is easily overcome.

Ours Arrived today
The Hobby Farm Guys were talking about a dexter cow that is high milk, meat and labor and is a dwarf cow breed suitable for smaller paddocks. They have wholesome tips on barn yard animals like chicken varieties and diseases. Great for live preppers. Do you have any tips on high yield low maintenance barn yard animals suitable for prepping?
I'm a huge fan of chickens but I don't have a lot of experience with other animals.
"Live" peppers? Lol😅
@@bluegrassgal yes, as in livestock prepping.
A goat might be one. They eat just about anything and you can get goat’s milk and cheese from them. Chickens for sure. My friend has backyard chickens in the city.😆
So…I bought one of these and quickly found out that my bread pan fit in it, but not much else. I do have a glass baking pan that fit, so I decided to try making brownies in it (I was using canned heat.) Not only did they take a LONG time, but only the top really got done-they were quite gooey underneath. The temperature remained between 300 and 350, so I’m not sure what went wrong. Are there some metal pans (other than bread pans) that will fit in this? I’m thinking that a metal pan might bake better in it.
I would appreciate any responses to this posting.
Thanks for sharing this. I see they didn't respond. That's disappointing...
I’d like to know as well Provident Preppers…
I found a few from reviews and videos. Haven’t tried them personally.
Instafire has a 3 pack of pans for the Ember Oven
Instant Pot Official Non-Stick Fluted Cake Pan
Instant Pot Round Cake pan (7x7),
Nordic Ware 2pc Broiler set (8.4" x 6.3")
Deedro Stainless Steel Cookie Half Sheets Baking Pan Oven Tray with Rack, 9.33 x 7 x 1 Inch
No warranty? Temperature goes down quickly when one canned heat is extinguished. Not accurate temperature.
Just added one with Our Solar oven
This one has a heat shield for the stereo but the stove heater one does not? Uggg
Should this oven be stored in a Faraday bag, just in case of an EMP? I know it is not electrical, but not sure if it had other parts that would be damaged. Thank you.
no need - you will be good
@@konelbanner4976 Thank you. This oven will make things so much easier since I don't have a fireplace. :)
Could I use liquid stero cans in this?
Dutch oven on fire pit or charcoal bbq
Which way do you think it's more efficient, indoor or outdoor? Thanks!
Indoor with canned heat will give you a more even heat - but as you learn to regulate with sticks and twigs and charcoal - you will love that as well
Efficient or sustainable? I love indoors because the canned heat is super easy to work with and doesn't take much tending. However, there is pretty much an endless supply of sticks and twigs so in a tough situation you will always have outdoor cooking fuel. It worked really nicely with charcoal.
Can you use Sterno?
I would like an Oven to cook in that I can sit over a campfire.
I have a Cast Iron Lodge Camp Dutch Oven that I use to accomplish this. I hope this helps.
I'm still on the Sun Oven and the bushcraft version of an oven. I like that dude. Not sure why it's so expensive ... $169.95 is more than I could pay for that at this time. Note: The Sun Oven was a gift. kek
I bought my VESTA through My Patriot Supply on sale for $100. I did the payment plan option. I paid it off over three months. It came in three days from the day I ordered it.
I had some canned heat that I bought 40+ years ago and when I found them where I had packed them away, the cans were empty.
Interesting. It sounds like the alcohol evaporated. Were they tightly sealed? I'd love to have seen them.
Nice option , thanks for sharing , God bless !
You will love it - enjoy
Love this. It is awesome
Yep - and it works great
