Off Grid Cabin 1 Year Update - Baking Bread in Coleman Camp Oven on the Wood Stove

In this video we are spending an afternoon at the cabin, baking some bread in our Coleman Camp Oven on the log wood Vogelzang stove. We haven't changed much with the cabin in the last year, except recently switching out the wood stove to try another simpler, older style. We are always "practicing" simpler ways of doing things with the hopes that we never have to use them.

Here is the Recipe for the bread:
1 packet yeast
1/4 cup water, then additional 3/4 cup
1.5 T honey
2T melted butter
2 tsp salt
3 cups flour
1. Sprinkle yeast over 1/4 c water. Add a little honey, let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix all remaining ingredients.
2. Knead dough on floured surface about 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl to rise 1 hour.
3. Shape into rectangle and place in buttered bread pan. Let rise 1 hour.
4. Bake at 400'F for 30-40 minutes ideally. Oven temperatures may vary and will increase or decrease baking time. Internal temperature should be 190'-200'F when done.

Good video. U are the first one I’ve seen use it this way, and this is actually what I wanted to see

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Glad you liked it

[@mt7427]

Cover with felt welding blanket

[@ianpotts4935]

loved the cabin/shed/getaway playlist. Stay safe and well to all of you from Scotland.

[@joelm2692]

Honestly amazing Old school way of living is amazing

[@AppalachianManCave]

I would suggest the box stove. Put an additional dampner in the stack to get better control of the oxygen/combustion. The dampner is easy to instal. Thanks for sharing. your adventure.

[@heathhill7802]

Harbor freight, welding blacket .it folds up and lays over the oven nice .I had the same problems with my oven not getting up to temp . After I put the blanket over it. Works flawless . Plus keep the top on your stove .

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Thanks for sharing

[@thomastommy1192]

When I was a very young kid I remember my parents having a wood stove like that. They use to cook bread roast potatoes in it some how. Awesome video thanks for sharing. Nice cabin.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Thank you

[@robbinra8842]

Awesome my mom just gave me a Coleman oven for my Vintage Shasta. She got on clearance. Happy to see how well they work.

[@KE4YAL]

Kinda reminds me of the place me an my wife built back in the early 90’s Even the wood stove with the Coleman oven Only thing different we had block foundation with crawlspace but it is still in use today with added space n full time living

[@jorgequinones991]

Awesome video

[@genoschellenberger6656]

Amazing!

[@KeepItSimpleSurvival]

So cute....

[@doramather4729]

There is a you tube video where they made a cover out of welding blanket to control the temp and also added a tile .

[@scottfornaciari537]

Just watched this show last night and thought, why didn't you remove one of the burner plates on the wood stove. That would replicate the Coleman propane burner with a lot more direct heat.

[@ProlificInvention]

Great video. Just wanted to throw it out there that a Chinese Diesel air Heater would be a good addition to your Off Grid cabin in a survival/long term living situation. For one it would be very convenient when you didn't feel like firing up the woodstove, or if you were injured/incapacitated/ill. It also would be great if you left for a period of many hours/days to keep the cabin at a certain temperature as well as the contents. Those heaters are like a mini home furnace with a thermostat. They use about 10-20ah a day (12v) and a liter or 2 of diesel fuel. 100ah battery, a way to recharge it like solar or other off grid solutions, and say a 25-55gallon barrel would keep you set for a very long time.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Thanks for the comment. I have been interested in the small diesel heaters and have just started looking into them a little bit

[@ProlificInvention]

@@JackofAllMasterofNone I made a video about an experiment I'm conducting with one over this winter. It is a great success, I know for a fact it can heat my buddies large 2 stall garage and also my Chevy Tahoe all winter. I think it would be great for a cabin. The 8kw version puts out about 30,000 BTUs when getting up to temp on the thermostat. I'm making a new video tonight if it keeps snowing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3rOq6qAa7ZkgsU

[@gregslair4278]

Getcha some coal to burn. We used it in our kitchen stove before we had central heat/air put in. Worked great and easier to regulate than wood. Just a thought.

[@robine916]

How about cooking bread in a cast iron dutch oven? Love the log splitter! :D

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

We do that as well. Just trying something new

[@dper1112]

The Coleman doesn't need fire bricks on the bottom, because the bottom is sitting on the wood stove. The sides and top are where your heat loss is.

[@jackfrosty79ify]

I got a 12x12 built it cheap to .

[@jacklabloom635]

That oven loses heat due to the large amount of surface area on the five sides not directly exposed to heat. The Coleman propane cooktop produces much more heat than 400 degrees. Enough more heat that the heat lost by the oven is much less than the heat being applied. In your case at the cabin. Your heat source was about 400 degrees applied directly to the bottom of the oven. The inside temperature of the oven got to about 250 degrees. That means the five sides not directly in contact with the oven were losing heat faster than it was being supplied. 150/400 = 37.5. That oven loses 38 percent of heat applied to the base. Or retains 62 percent of the heat applied. To achieve an inside temperature of 350 degrees you can calculate the applied temperature needed. The formula is 0.62 times X = 350. Solve for X. X = 350/0.62 or 565 degrees. A propane cooktop easily exceeds 565 degrees. You can reduce that temperature requirement significantly by applying insulation around the outside of the oven except for the door. Applying some form of insulation to the top of the oven would help.

Thanks for the excellent comment.

[@benkanobe7500]

I'm a subscriber and may have missed this. Apology if I did. What Kerosine lanterns are you using and are they the very nice China made American design or were you able to get American manufacture? I know there are two fundamental designs for the "fresh" air and/or recirculated air? Which is yours as they appear to burn very clean. Do you have a lamp oil/Kerosine you guys recommend? Thank you! (we just purchased the Coleman and are looking for ideas)!

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

These are the lanterns. But they don't seem to be available right now amzn.to/3KC5dJ6

[@rocketsurgery8337]

The vents on the side of the oven are drawing in air to feed the fire, you can see this when you first opened the door. Seal off the top of the woodstove and this won't happen.

[@elderrider9298]

Did you make that wood splitter?? or where can a guy buy one?

[@stoltzk]

Where's more cabin videos? Lol any changes or updates?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

No changes or updates yet. Just been enjoying it as is. I will try and do an update soon. Thanks for watching!

[@EdwardVanNatta]

I am looking for about your product place leave me a message . When I post this , I am looking for more information no this . About your little kitten you built on some property how'd you get your property and how much did it cost for all of this and get your caving for together

[@HJKelley47]

No, it is not an issue with the Coleman.

It is narrow, and does not properly cover the entire bottom of the Coleman oven.
