Coleman Ovens
The Coleman Oven is produced by a company called – Coleman Company, Inc. The company was founded in 1900, and their headquarters are in Wichita, Kan. They are a subsidiary of a corporation called – Jarden. What this company does is inspire people to get outside more often. They are the leading international company with innovation of outdoor products. Their product line includes the following: their legendary lateens, stoves, tents, sleeping bags, backpack, coolers, furniture, and also grills. Those products can be seen being used by people all over the world.
Even though Coleman does make several different products for outdoors people, this article will only be discussing the Coleman Oven.
When you think of cooking in the outdoors, what do you mostly think of? A person, or the whole camping group getting wood, setting up the fire, and then using grill racks to set up against the fire. Or you might even get your food from nature. But what if you could make the cooking process much easier on yourself. And that is what the Coleman oven is doing, it is taking modern cooking equipment and giving the average outdoors men a brand new option.
So why does the Coleman Oven make the cooking easier? First of all the oven is compact enough by folding up (not all of them do this) for you to carry it with you on a hiking trip, or if you are a hunter and go long distances, then this is a must. They are lightweight, which means when you are caring the oven you will not be adding more weight than you need too. You may have a difficult time with leaving the camp because of all the good food that you will be cooking.
Even if you are not a hunter, you can use this type of oven inside a pontoon, or if you have a powerout at your house you will able to cook food, and keep warm if your heating is dependent on electricity.
So what can a Coleman oven cook? Do you like biscuits, baked bread, grouse, chicken, turkey, rolls, entrees, or even pizza? Well, the oven can bake all of those and more. It can basically bake anything that a bigger oven can. The only thing that is holding you back from cooking with this simple, lightweight unit is the size of the food, and your imagination.
There is one issue that you will find out soon or later, so you might as well find out now. Getting used to regulating the oven internal temperature will take some time getting used too. This means that you might burn some food when you first get this, but I would recommend that you stick with it, because once you get used to the adjustments you will be a cooking star with your camping party.
So what kind of Coleman Ovens can you get? Below are some of the ovens that you can purchase.
Coleman 5010D700T Camp Oven
The Coleman Camp Oven has opened the door for campers to make certain foods like – muffins, biscuits, and also rolls, that were not possible with just using an open flame. The oven is made of a smooth aluminized steel that weighs only 7 pounds and takes up less space than your camp fire — measurements are 12 x 12 x 12 inches (W x H x D). It can fold up for easy storage, this will also help with using the oven on hiking trips. It has an adjustable steel baking rack that will allow you to cook foods in various sizes. The thermometer is very easy to read. The oven does not require any electricity or gas to function. All you have to do is set this up over the fire (not in) and it will start to cook your food.

Camp Chef Camping Outdoor Oven with 2 Burner Camping Stove
The Camp Chef Stove has two 7,500 BUT range burners and a 3,000 internal oven, for a total of 18,000 BTU of power to do cooking. The maximum temperature that it can reach is 400 degrees Fahrenheit with a built in thermometer. This stove has two different oven racks that have a nonstick enamel surface. The stove can cook up to 5 hours with high heat, but longer if you are cooking on low heat, it only uses a 1 pound disposable propane can for the cooking. It has a matchless igniter, the construction is stainless steel. The stove itself is pretty silent, the burners heat up quick. What you will also notice is that the top burners are better than what you will find with other standard double burners. The stove weighs 35 pounds, so it is very easy to move around, the measurements are – range 21 x 12 inches; oven interior 10 x 16 x 10 inches (LxWxH).
There are some problems that people have had. The handles that are on the sides don’t go in very far, which means they might take up more room than necessary, but this means that you will have more control of the stove when you are moving it around. You cannot connect the stove to a bigger tank because it does not come with a bulk tank adapter, but I don’t think this is a problem, if you want something bigger and to last longer this stove might not be what you are looking for, and you can also purchase one at your local hardware store. The temperature gauge might get in the way with your cooking sometimes. This product can be bought from Amazon.com for as low as $169 dollars, by clicking here.
Coleman 425F499G 2 Burner Compact Gas Stove
The Coleman Compact Gas Stove uses a 2.5 pint liquid fuel to power both the primary burner that has 7,500 BTU, and the auxiliary burner that has 6,500 BTU. The stove also has an adjustable wind blocking system for protecting the flames and keeping the maximum heat on the food. The stove rarely needs any repair if at all. The cooking time for this stove is 7.5 hours, the measurements are 17.75 x 4.875 x 11.5 inches (W x H x D).

The gas tanks can be bought online or at Walmart for around 10 dollars. The construction of the unit is very simple and sturdy.
There are just two problems that people have had – pumping and priming the stove might be a little more complicated that what you find on a propane stove, but once you done it a number of times it get easier, and easier. If you are pouring in the white gas, make sure that you use a small funnel because the gas tank hole is very small which could make a big mess if you don’t make it all into the hole. This compact gas stove can be bought from Amazon.com for as low as $59 dollars by clicking here.
