I cant remember for sure but I think I posted when I bought a small coleman oven from CT, maybe back in late 2014.It was on sale at half price at the time, 50.00 bucks if I remember right (I bought two, one still in the box) I remember taking it apart and I found that I could put in pink fiberglass insulation between the inner and outer steel wall, anyway that was years back now. I have two proper gas stoves, one up stairs and one down, but I have used this little "camping" oven for 90 percent of my baking needs. I thought this thing would have fallen apart by now but it hasn't, not only that I just realized that I am still running on the same 30 pounder I hooked it up to 4 years ago! I bake pizzas in it, my bread,small roasts, everything but big things. Shortly after I got it I mentioned how surpisingly well this oven worked, to a couple others I know and they bought one. I have only heard back anecdotally but they like the things. I mention this, just because I am a cheap guy and love the economy of this thing. I have dissed Coelman Solar products, so I thought I should give them a recommendation when they do something well! Or I should say well enough.
I can do two loaves of bread at once in it. I just set half a loaf in the picture for scale.(I already had eaten the other half)
I do not consider these safe for indoor use unless you put in the insulation like I did otherwise the outside case gets hot enough to burn yourself, though the others who bought these do use them indoors without adding insulation....each to their own....I don't recommend it myself.

Gotta love simple and cheap
I have their standard folding oven. I find its a great piece of kit to own. Looks different then yours mine is this type

Coleman stoves are da bomb, I love 'em. I have two, one I bought myself, the other I inherited when my father passed away. My father bought his stove new in 1966, so it's 52 years old. Tonight I passed by Canadian Tire on the way home and picked up new seal kit for its pump. I don't know if the old pump seal shot or not, but I figured I'd put a new one in just to make sure the stove will be ready for use in case it's needed. I also inherited my father's old Coleman lamp (same age as the stove) and I see online that Coleman still sells parts for that, too.
Any company that can provide spare parts for a product they made 52 years ago is going to get my business and endorsement.

I assume it’s naphtha? My dad had one as well from that era, will have to see if hecstill has it. Thx for reminder. Yes, its good to give your hard won money to a company who respects their clients

Yeah, it's Coleman fuel, I believe that's naphtha. They're pretty handy stoves to have around. When the ice storm hit Montreal my father set up his stove in the driveway to cook meals and make coffee. He also used it to boil water for some hot water bottles he and my mother kept in their bed at night. They were eventually forced out to a relatives house when the temperature dropped below -10C for a few days straight, but the stove helped them put up a good fight until then.

I don't even know if CT still sells this one. I imagine there are multiple models of this style, they all must work mostly the same? It pretty much replaced my electric toaster oven, and all my small baking is done in it. Something like 12 or 13 inches deep by 16 inches wide, maybe 7 inches high (from memory). In fact looking back at using my big gas stove to do a loaf or two of bread seems crazy now. Before I must have used 20 maybe 30 times the propane to bake a loaf.

I hear you, energy efficiency is definitely improved on this by giving it a outer thermal blanket on these models
