So what is this Snow Peak Field Oven and why should you own one? Here is some information that might convince you it is an appliance you need!

Field Oven Test: Snow Peak
Made from stainless and chromed steel, the oven weighs in at 14.5 lbs. It measures 18″ x 18.5″ x 6″ and comes with a ceramic baking sheet. We tested it on a mild winter day.
The first thing we noticed: This oven gets hot. I poured in coals on a windy afternoon expecting to need a lot of heat. The result was a completely charred underside of the first pizza (don’t worry, the cheese was salvaged and oh-so yummy).
We took out some coals, let the oven cool a bit, and tried another pizza. The second result was much more successful, baking the pizza in roughly six minutes. We tested the oven with both raw and cooked dough, and it worked adequately with both.
For a broiler-like setting, the top of the oven is slightly concave to hold coals on top. It provides even heat from all sides and would work well for browning the top of oven bakes, or forming crusts on the top of your meals.

While the oven is a bit more expensive than what many of us can afford it really is ideal for those who are counting on it for the long haul, the outdoorsman who is thinking about the end of days and a really good oven that will last a while. Remember, you get what you pay for!
