Easy to use
I live off grid in a one room cabin and I use this inside my cabin. The first time I used it, it gave off a smell, but it was because it was new. After that, no smell, no propane smell, burns clean. Gives off no heavy heat. The oven is small, but easy to buy pans that will fit perfectly in it and have used the oven and boy does it cook well. When you preheat to the desired temperature, you put it then to low and it stays at the desired temperature. Does not overcook or spatter food. Very happy with it, good investment and my propane tank lasts forever, and I cook all the time. Great oven. Perfect size for me.

LIFE SAVER!
I ordered this on August 29 a day after Hurrican Irene hit NY because I knew it would be several days before we got power back. Amazon's 2-day delivery came through despite UPS having to take an alternate route through downed power lines.I unpacked it, attached the adapter hose and tank and started cooking...after I figured out how to stabilize that wind screen. That is the only part that made me a little cranky. It took me several minutes to notice that there are holes on the side of the oven that the wind-screen clips fit into. The instructions don't explain that part...or much elseI had looked at this unit and its review a couple of months ago and I am happy to say that I didn't have any of the problems mentioned in earlier reviews. This may be a later, updated model than the one received by the earlier reviewers.First of all, it works like a charm. For whatever reason, I thought that I would have to use a lighter for the burners. Instead, they have built-in igniters that worked instantly. The flame/heat control is much better than that on my big gas grill and rivals that on my kitchen range. You can actually cook on this unit.This unit has fixed handles that are solid and do not fold in. There is a built-in thermometer for the oven (but the instructions refer to a "remote" thermometer) I may buy a thermometer since I never trust oven thermometers.I ordered the adapter hose/regulator for a bulk tank. The one I received was the correct item and attached without a hitch.Pros: Inexpensive for what it is. (It went up $40 after I ordered it, probably due to the demand after Hurricane Irene.) It really works..WELL. It is well designed, attractive, and not some butt-ugly contraption that I would be embarrassed to have the neighbors see. It's substantially built, but not too heavy for a 65-year-old woman to easily pick up a move around.Cons: The instructions are deficient, but most of the features/functions are pretty obvious...other than the wind-screen clips. You can't fit 2 really large pans on top of the stove...but this IS a portable unit.Regrets: I should have ordered the bag/case that is offered as part of the package. It is easy enough to move around, but that nice, shiny, stainless steel is going to develop scratches and dings when my beloved decides that it's in the way and tosses it into the back of the storage shed...until the next "weather event".

Updated review after 5 years - If you want to cook outside, you WANT this product
UPDATE-After about 5 years the oven no longer stays lit. I don't blame the oven, there is probably an easy enough remedy but after 5 years of use it was starting to get nasty from neglect. We decided to replace it with a new one. They made some enhancements, it's just a higher quality product that seems to have addressed the shortcomings that made this originally a 4 star review. I have bumped it up to 5 stars.Unfortunately the second unit came missing the regulator. It's not a huge deal because the old one fit, but I did contact the company and request the missing regulator because I might want to refurbish the old oven in which case I will need the missing regulator. Hopefully they agree because otherwise I have to ship the entire unit back for replacement.Original review:We live in Hawaii and do most of our cooking outside. We bought this oven so that we could bake things without heating up the house. Here's the good, the bad and the ugly on this oven:The Good: It bakes things well. It delivers a fairly even heat and uses very little propane. I was really surprised at how energy efficient this unit is. Contrary to other reviews I have read, I find that the range burners deliver a lot of heat. And it is the perfect size and heat distribution to use the two range burners (set on lowest setting) with a cast iron griddle to make the perfect pancakes. The range burners have self ignited every time I have needed to use them. We have cooked two Cornish game hens in the oven with plenty of room to spare. You can cook a large chicken in this thing. No, it won't fit a turkey, but that's not the point of this oven. The meat comes out moist, tender, and juicy. More so than if we cook using our electric oven.The bad: They fixed all the things that was in this paragraph, so I deleted it.The ugly: There isn't anything ugly about this oven. After it arrived from Amazon I slid it out of the box and my wife said "Wow, it's beautiful." We love the look of stainless steel appliances and this oven has a sleek look using black on stainless. I would have preferred a brushed stainless that matches all our other appliances but the shiny chrome look is almost as good.To summarize, although self described by the manufacturer as a "camp" or "emergency" oven, we find it works well and looks great for everyday use. I wish it came with a hose adapter to use it on a regular propane tank, but I understand that they try to keep the cost down for people that may not want to use it.
