I finally ran the Marine Oven after it sitting on the shelf in the garage for 3 yrs. I included the installation pics in the Optimiser 6500 thread, but decided to add the specifics of the oven in the cooking section.
I was base camped for 3 days at 1500m in minus 5 deg ambient temps , blizzard conditions at least by Aussie conditions, and used the oven 3 times to heat to perfection party pies, sausage rolls and full size pies and pasties. The oven was loaded up with food at maybe 2 degC temp and after 1.5 hrs ready to eat at hot as shit temps. I set the terminal temp at 180 degC , didnt monitor the actual amps draw, but can attest this oven is a winner.
I understand there are comparable ovens on the market that are Aust Made - unsure if this one is made in Aus or not, but the specs on the alternate seem comparable/better perhaps to the unit I have, but what I guess is the message is if the oven is a really good compliment to the camping experience and adds a next level to enjoyment and convenience. I found the outer skin of the oven was not hot or even warn to touch, so close quarter installation and mounting should not be a concern. I have upgraded the front door with additional insulation, as a precaution.
