I was wondering if anyone actually has tried to use the Coleman oven on top of a woodstove that has a firebox that is thermostaticly controled?

I would say this works unless the fire is focussed underneath the oven as it is on a gas oven.

I've used it only on a gas stove, either propane or butane. You may need to have a flame right below the oven. If the heat source is too far away, the distance and lack of insulation in the oven may prevent it heating as high as 350 F.

I used one for years on top of the flat spot on the wood stove that heated my house. works awesome... also used it for smaller things on top of the wood cookstove instead of using the big oven.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

I would not burn wood/biomass indoors. Once the stove gets going it is less smokey, but will generate lots of smoke during startup or while adding fuel. I have not used the alcohol burner attachment, but that would definitely be better for a low ventilation area. I love this stove, but it is basically a mini campfire (I did use it in a 3 sided AT shelter, but depending on wind the smoke was annoying)

Has anyone used this grill with a separate skillet or grill on top of the grates. For instance, to cook bacon and eggs outside when camping?

Jason, I've had a hard time getting it up to the desired smoking temp when it's cool & windy or just cool. I think one of the problems is that they only recommending using 12 or so starter coals. Yesterday I increased this number to 20 or so and that seemed to work better. I'll keep fooling with it and could see using up to half the coals in the chimney starter. And I've found that I need to have the top holes open more than the 5/16 they recommend. I'd say open them all the way up and then throttle them down. I also think it makes a big difference and significantly slows down the process if the meat isn't close to room temp to start. But I'll tell you, the more I use the device the more comfortable I feel with it. I'm having a retirement get together this coming Sat so started preparing for that this weekend. Using a rib rack I smoked 6 full racks of ribs on Sat and 6 more on Sun. I'd never have dreamed that 6 racks of ribs would fit on the Weber but they did. I baby sat the Sat batch pretty closely but once the Sunday batch was up to speed I only looked at about once/hour to stir the coals, add water & wood. We ate one last evening and it was good but will put the rest in the oven for 2 or 3 hours to get them more tender before serving. I hope that this (long) answer is of some help and encouragement.

Yes. I have used it with great success on a two burner propane stove as well as on a two burner propane stove in a popup camper. Although the stove inside the trailer has three burners, the stove just sits on one of them. We just got back from a camping trip, and I used the oven almost daily for biscuits and sweet rolls. The oven is a bit fussy in setting it up, but it works quite well.

I have seen it used on a rocket stove but not wood,you would have try that. I figure though, that as long as there is a consistent flame source, it might just very well work.

Yes, so long as what you set it on is well insulated and not flammable. The trestle has always felt a little flimsy to me, although the oven itself is very solid. I use the trestle to hold up the oven and do not move it around, as it is VERY heavy.

NO I don't. I only know that it worked on my stove when the coleman regulator would not. Sorry I could not be of more help.

We've never tried a BBQ grill, but I wouldn't think it wise. The surface is Formica-like. I wouldn't hesitate to use a Coleman stove, although we've never used it for that, either.

I have only had luck with that when there is nothing between the grill and the fire. It takes no time at all and you have to be very careful not to over cook the meat.Vince

I used the small fold down stove that you put on top of a propane tank and it was fine , I hope that helps. I normally use them on a normal Coleman stove, but the work on the small one too.

I used one of the Flame Tamers on each of the two burners of my Camp Chef stove. I was using the stove and flame tamers to heat a two burner grill. Within several minutes on high the burner control knobs were so hot you could not touch them. I am sure if I would not have turned the stove off they the knobs would have melted or broke. I have not tried them since. I research the Flame Tamer and did not find any warnings on them causing the front of your stove to get hot. No warnings in the packaging either. Hope this helps.

I just bought one on 11/11/13, and would like to also convert it to propane fire ring. Did you complete yours yet and how did it go? any tips ?Thanks. John

If you want to put charcoal on the top get the lodge camp oven instead. It's designed for that purpose.

Why not heat from a Coleman stove burns propane so does your rv so you still have toControl the flame
