Coleman Cabin Tent: Coleman InstaStart Portable Oven Review

Average Reviews:
3.5 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Needing a small oven to use on camping trips, our family selected the Coleman Instantstart oven.How can one go wrong with the Coleman name afterall.Oven arrived, and looks great, but closer inspection caused us to notice that the right hand side of the oven door had about a .375" gap along the top that tapered to very close on the left hand side.

Looking at the oven skin, we noticed that one of the little bent tangs that holds the oven together had broken off at the bend.To fix oven, I purchased to small stainless steel screws, drilled both sides of the oven and used the screws to hold the oven together.Fixed the gap, and made the oven usable.

We are having a bit of problem hooking up the gas regulator due to the inaccuracy of the hole versus the inlet which is off centered.Other than those two items, oven does work pretty well.Thermometer seems to be accurate.Lights easily with igniter.One bottle has been enough for 4 uses of the oven totaling about 2 hours of use.

One thing that could greatly improve the oven would be a bit finer adjustment of the control valve, when one adjusts the flame down for less heat, just touching the knob will cause it to change.

I would be reluctant to purchase another oven through coleman at this time.
