Reflector Oven by Svante Fredén

Baking while backpacking was never an option until now. Quality product that works very well and brings a little comfort of home to the outdoors without breaking your back.

The oven packs small (slips easily down along the back of your pack) and is easy to assemble. I've successfully baked bannock, cinnamon rolls and banana bread and have plans for much more.

I especially like that it works with a campfire as opposed to using a lot of fuel from your camp stove.

Depending on your fire, you'll probably need to adjust your cook times to be shorter. It's easy to check baking progress as the top handle doesn't get hot.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift.

I used the Reflector Oven on a canoe trip and it was so amazing. I had no idea that it could get so hot. I made bannock, cookies and cinnamon rolls and nothing burned!!! I am looking forward to trying cake and bread and other things in the future. The only thing is that you have to make sure that the oven is sturdy in where you set it. Thank you so much for a great product.

Used my oven for two weeks camping in Kouchibouguac National Park. Cooked a number of different foods including cakes, muffins, tea biscuits, a small pork roast, a meat pie and a pizza. There is a learning curve on how hot a fire to build, how close to place the oven and how long to cook for but as long as you keep watch on the food you will likely be successful. I am constantly looking to try new recipes. You are only limited by your imagination and what ingredients you have with you. Worth the money

We have wanted a reflector oven for a while but most aren't worth the price. This one is affordable and works awesome.

I have enjoyed years of wilderness baking as a river guide. My reflector oven purchase was a tech experiment to compliment my confidence in aluminum dutch oven baking. I use my new reflector oven in front of a firebox (environmental fireplace) where I can monitor the heat from finger-sized wood in the firebox. It takes noticeably longer baking time, with less heat control, than aluminum dutch ovens with briquettes + tinfoil 'beehive'. But... it is low-tech, requires only a fire for heat, and produces excellent quality trip baking. Adjust your baking time to manage your expectations, and you will be pleased with this simple, well-built, lightweight oven.

My husband picked this up for his backcountry camping trips. We took it Family Camping in a Prov. Park to try out for the first time. We used it to bake "Birthday Cupcakes" in the campsite fire pit for our daughter's birthday. I was totally blown away by how effective it was!!! Temperature and cook times depend on your fire of course, but rotating and monitoring both the food item cooking and your fire will provide excellent results! I can't wait to use it again on a huge variety of items! And the cupcakes were excellent!
Of course, it's also ingeniously made and lightweight. I totally recommend it!
Thank you Svante Fredén for making such an brilliant product!

I love this oven! Everyone else has pretty much summed up my thoughts on it, but here's a quick tip. I use an 8 inch wide (measured from one flat side to the other), 2 inch deep aluminum hexagonal baking pan. It allows me to fit the maximum amount of dough into the reflector while baking bannock, cornbread...etc... A square pan or round pan of the same volume will not fit. If you can't get a hexagonal pan, a round shape is your next best bet.

I even use it on my charcoal BBQ at home. A ten inch pizza pan fits inside perfectly and it makes the best pizza you ever had.
