I m with MtnCamper,

Or bisquits and gravy for breakfast. We use one, on the inside low pressure stove, without foil. Seems to work pretty good for us.

We do biscuits and gravy a lot when we camp. I use ours inside without any foil on the outside and use a hanging thermometer. I like the idea that it folds up really small.
 I live just outside of Wichita, Ks. Coleman s home. We have a factory outlet here and they give away 10% discounts all over town. I watched for the stove to go on sale there and I paid less than $10.00 for mine.

We got one last fall, but only had a chance to use it once before the snow flew!  DH made a cheesecake in it, though, that was good!

All this talk about cinnamon buns is making me hungry.  I m going to post a recipe I got from King Arthur flour on the recipe page.  Its a lot of work but well worth it.
 
 When you camp, do you make cinnamon buns from scratch or bake the prepared Pillsbury buns?

 Get a 12"  Dutch Oven... you can bake, roast, simmer, broil, boil and fry all in one utensil!
 

 
 DO are great and very versitle.  The only problem is it takes time to get the coals just right.  By the time you have the DO ready to bake something, we are eating what we baked. []

We love our cinnamon rolls, too, but use Rhodes frozen ones. They re great!
 
 No Coleman oven for us, though. We make ours in our dutch oven over (and mostly under) charcoal. We take them from the cooler at night and put them into the greased dutch oven. We stash those somewhere overnight and put on the fire in the morning.

I would love to cook in a DO. But I think this will be the 4th year of no campfires for us. We need snow or rain BAD! High country is about half of normal, but here we haven t had snow since Halloween. So if you can send it here!
 
 Doubt if lawn watering will be allowed this summer either. Bright side, mowing.[: (]

I bought one of the Coleman ovens at WalMart last spring and used it about 4 times last camping season mostly to bake chocolate chip cookies. It works great and like others have said the thermometer in the door is not accurate at all. I just kept an  eye on them as they were baking to make sure they didn t overbake and had no trouble at all. I hope to try baking many other things this next camping season in it to see how it works for other things. I bought a couple of 8 inch pizza pans from a local dollar store that I covered with foil when I made the cookies and they worked good that way because after baking all I had to do was remove the foil and throw it away so clean up was a snap.
