Boat Ovens

I vote for the cast iron dutch oven. You can even take it the beach and use it on an open fire - throw hot coal under it and a few hot coals on the lid (lid has a lip designed to hold hot coal and PRESTO, you have a great oven.
Also works on a stove, but you have to deal with the feet. The one I have has the feet cut down to just small nubs (so on the beach i have to dig a small pit)

never said i wanted it for inside cabin would be just fine on deck or on the beach doesn't require any outside plumbing uses disposable tanks and the thread was originally about making a BBQ grill into an oven so on deck not in cabin. it looks like Good replacement for my gasoline Coleman beach/camp stove. in cabin requires attentiveness while cooking and ventilation for the cooking appliance. you look at a propane stove made for boats or RVs you will see almost identical warnings about ventilation and not safe for comfort heating. as far as the dutch oven its a great idea just asking how many people have dealt extensively with cast iron in a marine saltwater environment i find that i have to wash the rust out before each use regardless of oiling and seasoning. also many places i go there are no camp fires allowed.

I recall a discussion on this topic a couple of years ago in a thread about cookware for boats. I have a cast iron skillet & griddle aboard and have no issues with it rusting after a light oiling. Using it more often than not helps.

There is a site (spiritburner.com) for stove buffs that discusses stovetop baking at length. Here are some of their threads on the subject, describing a stove from the middle east sold by one of their members for $25 plus shipping:

I know this is an old thread, but I actually just talked to the manufacturer and they told me the reason they say it's not for boat use is that it could tip over. If the unit is mounted in some way she said it would be fine. She couldn't "officially" recommend I do this, but said it would be fine.
