It works well, be careful with the sharp edges setting it up. It is pretty easy to let the temperature get away from you, so you need to watch it until it stabilizes. Also, we have found that it travels best stored it its original box. We have made cookies, tamale pie, cobbler and some other stuff and really like it. It will hold a 6 pack of muffins!
Excellent! Does it pack pretty compactly? And am I seeing that you're running it over the white gas burner?
It folds to about 3"x13"x13" and weighs probably 5 lbs, or so. We set ours up over two burners on our three burner propane camp stove.
Tips: just put it on top of the burner and watch the temperature rise!
For equally heating it up, put in center of the burner. Perfect!!

I have owned one for decades. I usually place it on top of a single burner stove and work the throttle to make the temp stabilize. This can take some time and a whole lot of finesse. I often use it to make biscuits to go with camp sausage gravy, sometime biscuits from scratch, depending on my tired / energy / bloody Mary level. I have made bread in it before, as well as butter milk blueberry scones, which came out very well. For bread or anything that requires 30 minutes of baking, I believe the dutch oven works much better and easier.
I love mine, I made brownies at 2 am while waiting for motorcycles at my pit during the Baja 1000. When a crashed rider stopped in and I offered him a hot brownie he was wondering exactly how bad his crash was. Just watch the heat initially things tend to get a little crispy on the bottom.

I think its a great addition to the camp kitchen. I done a few mod's to mine to help the efficiency. Purchasing a welding blanket & cutting (3 sides only) it to fit & helps keep more of the heat in the oven when baking or roasting . I also added a digital thermometer instead of trusting the factory one. I got the blanket idea off a feller from you tube who stated that his Coleman oven performs far more efficient now & the stove burner setting isn't is high which saves on fuel. The digital thermometer is far more accurate & is designed to be closed & used in over or offset BBQ pits & can withstand the cable shut in the door w\o damage. The welding blanket will not burn its good up to 1400 degrees. I kept mine off the stove about a inch on 3 of the sides.

I just used mine for the first time a few weeks ago. I was wanting to test it out and had some bagel bites in the freezer so I set my table and stove up on the porch. Even fired my 50's 228E up to provide some light as the sun went down.

We make everything in ours. Especially Biscuits and Cobbler. Many uses just keep an eye on even cooking. Keep most things in the middle section.

After seeing the Camp Oven that @TxRanger3006 has I started looking into them and stumbled across the Coleman Camp oven. I'll be purchasing one of these to use on the Grill side of my Coleman Grill Stove combo and will adopt the welding blanket hack too!
