Have you ever gone to use your camp oven only to find it’s covered in rust? In today’s article, we talk about how to store your camp oven properly. Storing your camp oven correctly ensures your camp oven is clean and rust-free ready for your next camping trip, and it’s easy to do!
Make sure your oven is clean and dry and use some cooking oil and some quality paper towel to add a light film of oil to prevent any surface rust.
If you have just bought your camp oven, make sure you follow this guide to prepare it for first use.
Next you want to get yourself a camp oven bag, from your local camping store or even online at places like Snowys or tent world.
Like this one I have here from campfire, it’s made of heavy-duty canvas has padded walls and reinforced handles to ensure your oven is protected.
Now place your camp oven inside the bag and zip it up and store it in a dry place until your next cook.
As an added bonus I like to use a strap to secure the lid to stop it from bouncing around the bag.
