Camping Ovens

Camping Ovens Expand Your Outdoor Cooking Options

Taking the family out camping is a great way to spend a sunny summer weekend, but sausages on sticks and a pot of pasta on the camping stove can grow old after a while. If you purchase one of the many kinds of camping ovens from eBay, you’ll have an easier time feeding your family, whether you're reheating a meal you prepped at home or cooking a hearty roast. From basic fireside solutions to fancy propane-powered rigs, there’s something to fit every budget at eBay.

Camping ovens for every cook

There are a variety of ways to cook an oven-style meal when you’re camping. Here are a few methods:

• Propane Oven: A fully self-sufficient, portable oven for your caravan.
• Cast Iron Dutch Oven: Placing this thick-walled pot directly into the fire creates an even, 360-degree heat.
• Oven Rack: A metal grate placed just above the fire, or a tri-pod that hangs a pot in the heat but out of the flames.
• Propane Stove Rack: This metal box fits on top of your stove and folds flat when not in use.
• Wood-fired Pizza Oven: Build a wood fire inside this metal container, then push the coals to the back and cook pizzas and other meals to perfection.

Which oven is right for you?

If you’re planning to cook most of your meals in the oven, a portable propane oven and grill might work best. If you already own a propane grill, then a stainless-steel or aluminium box that temporarily turns your grill into an oven is a cost-effective solution. If you don’t want to over-complicate your camping gear, then a Dutch oven can satisfy your camping oven needs in many situations.

An easy oven for pizza lovers

The secret to great pizza might be a rotating oven. The stone base distributes heat evenly for a crispy crust, and the rotational cooking ensures your toppings are perfectly golden brown. Rotating ovens can be electric-powered, which isn’t easy for all kinds of camping, so be sure to check before purchasing. If you’re bringing the rotating oven into your caravan you may have electricity, but for a more portable option look for something gas-fired.

Can a camping oven serve as outdoor heating?

Some ovens will radiate a pleasant heat nearby, but their primary goal is to keep heat in. If you’re looking for an outdoor heating solution that’s safe and contained, some camping stoves use wood or pellets as fuel, which create an attractive heating solution.
