Easy to use
I live off grid in a one room cabin and I use this inside my cabin. The first time I used it, it gave off a smell, but it was because it was new. After that, no smell, no propane smell, burns clean. Gives off no heavy heat. The oven is small, but easy to buy pans that will fit perfectly in it and have used the oven and boy does it cook well. When you preheat to the desired temperature, you put it then to low and it stays at the desired temperature. Does not overcook or spatter food. Very happy with it, good investment and my propane tank lasts forever, and I cook all the time. Great oven. Perfect size for me.

Great little oven and wonderful burners on top, for camping or anywhere!
Why I bought it: I needed a small oven that is portable, one to a house porch, then for my Casita camper, which has only burners inside. I do a lot of weekend car/tent camping also, and use little Coleman cannisters for my Buddy heater, and thought I could use them on this oven as well. Its a great thing to be able to fry chicken outside, not stink up the house too.What else did I get: Ordered the handy carry bag, which has well places handles on each side, is black nylon, and well padded to protect the oven This is a good idea, and makes it so easy to transport.Did it work well?I really like the burners. The knobs light the stove and burners, so no matches needed.I tried cooking water for coffee in a teakettle, first, to learn how everything worked, then a batch of eggs on top, and noted how even and fine the flames are, and adjust easily, and cleans up easily too. Much easier not to burn pancakes etc, when one can adjust the flames so finely. Beats many camping stoves any day.The burner lid is a wind screen, and is very effective, and stands up with the little metal clips easilyNext, lit the oven, which has a pilot light that comes on the bottom, which the glass door makes it easy to spot, once lit, adjust the temp knob. I made orange sweet rolls from the can for my camping crew, which turned out just right. It looks like smaller roasting pans or brownie pans, will fit better in this unit. This little oven should bake a smallish chicken, or two game hens, etc no problem.. There are two removable wire shelves inside, nice and sturdy. I believe with some adjustment, I can cook a duck in it.The thermometer is outside the oven on the control panel. I have not tested, but if you need exact oven temp control, just get your own for inside the oven.Although it takes several minutes longer to heat up than a indoor oven, once heated seemed to maintain the temperature well. No odors, etc.A handy grabber handle is attached is on the ovens handle, lest one's forgets, and gets burned. With this one, not a chance.If one is needing it, a simple egg timer would help. I kept an eye on it, because I had it under a large screen room to keep it out of the rain. It did not overheat my LL bean screen shelter ceiling however, and I kept it under the center peak, on the picnic table, away from the sides.Would I purchase this again: Yes! All in all, sturdy, good burners and stove, and great for many applications, like brownies, breads, smaller pizzas, cornbreads, muffins, and will greatly increase what I usually can cook while camping, especially on wet days. where fire cooking is too difficult. Happy I bought it.Keep the bubble rap around the regulator, you can re-wrap it so it doesn't bang around inside the stove while travelling.:)
M**!
Updated review after 5 years - If you want to cook outside, you WANT this product
UPDATE-After about 5 years the oven no longer stays lit. I don't blame the oven, there is probably an easy enough remedy but after 5 years of use it was starting to get nasty from neglect. We decided to replace it with a new one. They made some enhancements, it's just a higher quality product that seems to have addressed the shortcomings that made this originally a 4 star review. I have bumped it up to 5 stars.Unfortunately the second unit came missing the regulator. It's not a huge deal because the old one fit, but I did contact the company and request the missing regulator because I might want to refurbish the old oven in which case I will need the missing regulator. Hopefully they agree because otherwise I have to ship the entire unit back for replacement.Original review:We live in Hawaii and do most of our cooking outside. We bought this oven so that we could bake things without heating up the house. Here's the good, the bad and the ugly on this oven:The Good: It bakes things well. It delivers a fairly even heat and uses very little propane. I was really surprised at how energy efficient this unit is. Contrary to other reviews I have read, I find that the range burners deliver a lot of heat. And it is the perfect size and heat distribution to use the two range burners (set on lowest setting) with a cast iron griddle to make the perfect pancakes. The range burners have self ignited every time I have needed to use them. We have cooked two Cornish game hens in the oven with plenty of room to spare. You can cook a large chicken in this thing. No, it won't fit a turkey, but that's not the point of this oven. The meat comes out moist, tender, and juicy. More so than if we cook using our electric oven.The bad: They fixed all the things that was in this paragraph, so I deleted it.The ugly: There isn't anything ugly about this oven. After it arrived from Amazon I slid it out of the box and my wife said "Wow, it's beautiful." We love the look of stainless steel appliances and this oven has a sleek look using black on stainless. I would have preferred a brushed stainless that matches all our other appliances but the shiny chrome look is almost as good.To summarize, although self described by the manufacturer as a "camp" or "emergency" oven, we find it works well and looks great for everyday use. I wish it came with a hose adapter to use it on a regular propane tank, but I understand that they try to keep the cost down for people that may not want to use it.
