Hi Dusty,
The coleman oven works great, our family has had one in our camping-
gear inventory for over 20 years.
You have to be patient with it, but it will get the job done. There
are two people in our local club who use theirs regularly to make
pizzas and cinnamon buns on the campsite.
Happy trails,
Greg Potts
