Petromax Camping Oven – for baking over a fire, at camp, and at the barbecue area
Fresh bread, a fragrant casserole, or a small cake – even when camping, no one has to miss out on oven-baked dishes. The Petromax Camping Oven was developed precisely for this purpose: It transforms a hob, camping stove, or even a campfire into a mobile oven.
The combination of a stainless steel construction, integrated ring form, and ventilation openings creates even air circulation inside. This distributes the heat similar to a classic oven, enabling consistent baking even on the go.
The camping oven consists of three parts: base, ring form, and lid. The base absorbs the heat, while the ring form provides distance from the bottom, thereby generating indirect heat. This allows bread, casseroles, or small cakes to be reliably baked even while camping.
Why this product?
Baking outdoors only works with controlled, even heat. This is where appropriate baking accessories make the difference between improvised and enjoyable.
- more possibilities than just grilling
- bread, cake, or casserole directly at camp
- more predictable heat for dough and baked dishes
Practical tip: Baking requires patience
When baking outdoors, don't start too hot. Consistent medium heat usually delivers better results than full flame or too aggressive embers.

Our assessment (practical added value)
A baking oven is often missing when camping – this system addresses precisely that. The distance between the base and the ring form creates indirect heat, similar to an oven at home.
Many campers use the oven for fresh bread, small casseroles, or even cakes. Especially on longer trips, this brings significantly more variety to outdoor cooking.
Thanks to the ventilation openings, heat can circulate inside, ensuring food cooks evenly. This works on both a hob and over a camping stove.
Tips from outdoor practice
Preheating improves baking results
Many campers preheat the oven for a few minutes before putting the dough in. This creates a more even baking temperature.
Use medium heat
Too much heat can cause the bottom to brown faster than the dough on top. Medium heat ensures even baking.
Baking paper makes removal easier
A layer of baking paper in the ring mold makes it easier to remove bread or cake and reduces sticking.
Keep the lid as closed as possible
Every opening allows heat to escape. Many outdoor cooks therefore only check the doneness towards the end of the baking time.
