They are brilliant. Love mine. I think I may have been the first KZfaqr to review one. We have cooked 1.5kg of pork roast (which i slow cooked while we fished on the beach and then pulled with BBQ sauce). Also have baked beer bread, banana muffins, no boil pasta bakes, etc... Change plug over to an Anderson plug, the merrit plugs get quite warm and some people have had theirs melt. If you plan to use oven bags for roasts, double bag your meat and sit it on a tray (I use an aldi/kmart brownie tray). Be aware that the door may come flying open on corrugations and your roast will end up outside of the oven. Ive put a self tapping screw in to the side of the oven, and wrap a hair lacky between the screw and the handle on the door to keep the door shut. Enjoy mate. See you on the tracks some day!

I have 2 of the marine ovens permanently setup in my camper trailer, used them nearly every day on a 6 week trip from Victoria to Cape York and back, nothing like being in the middle of nowhere and stopping for a nice hot pie or sausage roll for lunch. We just stopped at around 11.00am each day, chucked a few pies in frozen and by 12-12.30 they were perfect, just like they were straight from the bakery. Things like small roll roasts were great too, just asked our butcher to make sure that their diameter was no bigger than 100mm which was no problem. We could easily get two roll roasts in one oven and enough vegetables in the other to feed 4 adults. Also great for reheating leftovers the next day which were stored in those little aluminium foil containers. They are a bit pricey, but for the quality of the unit and possibilities with them they an awesome edition to either your camper or 4x4.

Great review Andrew, I do have to tell you though, those are sausage rolls... A few of good things to go in it are chicken strips (add some salad and sauce and drop in a wrap), gourmet pies from a butcher (not the supermarket ones), make your own very quick nachos, even mini pizzas work well. Enjoy it mate. PS: I don't have one but I bloody everyone I know does!

I've had mine for about 6 months and love it, use it to heat up meals all the time. long gone are the days of wrapping something in foil and putting it on the engine or leaving it on the dash in the sun to heat up.

I have one in my Suzuki and it's great! Oven bags for the roasts. Hardwire it if it's a permanent thing.

The good old days of making a meal on your engine are long gone. I'd definitely recommend having a semi-permanent mount for it so you can heat stuff up on the move ready for a nice lunch 👍

Just ordered one this morning!

Agreed... going to have to buy one.

I just used mine for the first time last night! The smaller version. Cooks bloody great! The smaller one doesn't have variable temperature. It's fixed. Only cooking time varies. Great review mate!

Great review Andrew , i haven't watched a vid of yours for a month or 2 because you tend to rabbit on a bit , this was great , short , sharp and to the point ......

Nice, I've been thinking out getting one of these.

Love mine. You have to do a bit of experimenting with it though (time wise). A handy tip for cooking meat.... oven bags. Very few videos about these on KZfaq, hopefully this will inspire people to make some.

Hi Andrew, I have the smaller unit that draws 6amps. They are brilliant oven, and Aussie made to boot.

Hi Andrew, I goth same oven for over three years now and works brilliant for my family of four. Fantastic for road trips. We used for our three or four weeks long road trips. Cooked a lamb roast once . Took around 2 hours and came up fantastic. But will not cook again roasts due to whole car got really smelly. If you have a Ute setup surely going for roast every day. People make sure to fit a decent Anderson plug to the end ( cut and throw out the cig plug) it’s sucking 10 amps. Another great gadget from Aussie Don.M

I would have loved your thought of this versus a propane stove, battery draw vs propane usage etc...

I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO.

What a fantastic review

haha, I've never seen you do such a short video Andrew, but must admit, you got your point across and told us all the facts, so all good :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Good stuff. Didnt realise they were so small so that's awesome, I was concerned they would be huge and take up too much space. They have just recently been made available for sale in the UK too by Fourby UK. Anyone interested can google their website or visit the facebook page, if I post a link it might not make it past the filter.

Hi Andrew. Im looking to organise trip to Mana Pools and surrounds. First time. Wondering if you have any recommendations as to where to stay/go. Many Thanks

No bullsh*t. The best review ever :P

Awesome product, we love ours 👍👍

Dear Mr. White. Is it possible to use the exhaust manifolds heat by redirecting it through the back of an oven? And how about the hot liquid in the radiator, to redirect it via long pipes to heat up water for a shower by cooling down the radiator coolant going through a reservoir? Is this method counter-productive? I mean, does it drain more energy from the engine or is it the same? Is it more energy efficient to just run it off electricity?

I don't have one of these ovens - thought about it a few times, but the idea of smelling the gradually heating deliciousness of the pies and sausage rolls while negotiating high country trails leads me to believe I could be driven over the edge and drive over the edge as a result....... Probably will stick with a 5 minute fry-up of bacon and eggs on the butane stovette to be washed down with an Aeropress coffee made with fresh ground beans. Only problem is as soon as the others smell that lot they come running for a coffee themselves, leaving me exhausted from the grinding...

I was tempted to get one of these but I ended up getting a gas powered oven instead and I can have it up to temp in less than 5 mins. Bit bigger bit heavier bit more cumbersome but I can cook a full sized roast and frozen pizzas etc.

If anyone is interested in all the appliances and whatnot made for vehicles utilising the 12v power port look up the various truck-stops in the USA. T/A, Loves, Flying J, Pilot-Stations etc. There are hundreds of devices made primarily for the American trucking industry that do just as well in your 4x4 and/or camp trailer. Almost all of which run on 12v power, some run on 120v power which requires a converter or inverter (I forget which is which lol). If you are in the USA you can do a search (Bing) and simply pop in and have a look around. Another great place to look is any of the shops that customise big rigs or wherever they are sourcing their items from. Cheers mate and happy trails

This nifty piece of kit will be perfect for me. Right now I heat up prepacked meals in a small 900W microwave plugged into a hard wired 2kW inverter in the back of the Troopy. I'd love to be able to have something baked rather than nuked.

As I mentioned, 10 a/h, 190°C . Time to cook? How long is string?

Leave it to the Aussies to design a really cool but unneeded piece of kit that I must have!

Where did you get the exterior shelf for the troopy?

Have you tried a Bromic? The Travel Buddy looks nice and the dimensions are workable in a small space.

Its one of the few products that I have never heard a bad review of.

Slow cooked roast on a big day trip. Get back to camp to a cooked meal after setting up 😍

Does the outside surface get hot? How hot? What is the minimum distance clearance you need around the oven when operating? How well are the Pastry items cooked? Would it cook a pizza? Would it brown a Roast? Does it rattle when underway? Is there any Low Voltage protection? 10Amps for 1 Hour, that is a lot of power... Did you log the power consumption for 1 hour including thermostat cycles?

What's the name of the gas cooker you use? I know you talk about it in one of your videos but I can't find it

We do pork ribs in our 👍 they are just terrific

Andrew do you carry one of those tiny Honda inverter generators with you for power like those huge tug axle camper busses have in their nose?

We need an importer for North America.

I want these for the States!!

Hi Andrew, if you permanently mount it, does it get hot on the sides/top/front? How much gap do you need to leave around it?

An internal combustion engine is essentially a big oven. Theoretically then I should be able to cram a sandwich into the gas hole and a toastie should emerge from the exhaust. Jury is out.

I use an omnia oven on travels and i'm very satisfied with it, the range of meals this little thing can do is superb

I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while but I have never actually seen a real world test where owners do anything other than warm things up. What I really want to know is, can it cook a small roast with a few spuds and carrots from scratch and how long does that actually take. Running it at 10 amps while driving doesn't seem like a problem but what about when you are camped up for a few days and aren't running the engine?

Where is the refrigerator video

Are they very well insulated or do they need a substantial air gap around them?

"The shortest review in history" :D

Did you ever before do you tour in the namib or tour in Dammeraland ? If not I whoul suggest to make n plan 🇳🇦 it’s amazing here

u guys eat a lot of pies in Australia. what do u eat for dinner

My Oven has turned itself on twice and killed my batteries! I do not know how the dial is turning to run!

😁

Only thing i found annoying for a ute, is it is not waterproof.

I got stuck on the two different spare tyres on the back.

Cant get them or anything similar in South Africa I believe.....if only!!!! Then i would have cooked breakfast every day b4 work.

What happened to wrapping your Cornish Pasty in Tin foil, and sticking it in your engine block? Hah the glorious smells of cooking whilst driving along....

Don't forget the lunchbox oven or be put off by its cheap look. I wanted to hate it but it heats pies brilliantly and the casing doesn't get hot and they are cheap

Typo in the video name!

Andrew has had introductions to videos that ran longer than this. Maybe he's reverting back to his days editing commercials.

So takes 40 minutes to heat up a pie? I'll stick with my firebox or butane stove.

Since when is a sausage roll a pie🤣😂🤣

loved mine, used it daily until someone broke into my vehicle and stole it. Will be replacing it with another.

All you need is a ridgemonkey

In the USA we just wrap what ever in tinfoil and put it under the hood.

Dislikes from 42 RoadChef suppliers :( a like from me :)

I watched twice.

10 amps? Yikes!

Really lol.

Not sure I can trust one of your reviews when you can't tell a pie from a sausage roll FFS...

Pretty sure those are sausage rolls dawg
