BUTTERFLY #2421
OVEN FOR KEROSENE STOVES
|
Bread is the staff
of life. And that means baking in an oven. Many dishes
like casseroles require an oven. Yes, you could survive
without being able to cook in an oven, but please note
that our grandmothers felt horribly deprived if they didn'
t have a proper stove with an oven...everyday cooking
virtually mandates it. |
 |
The Butterfly #2421 oven is
not the same as the Coleman folding camp
ovens. The #2421 does not fold up, it is insulated with
internal panels, and it has two adjustable racks for
baking, all radically different from the Coleman. The
#2421 oven does require a high flame height to achieve
baking temperatures, but baking temperatures are
uniform throughout the oven. The Coleman, being
uninsulated, requires an extremely hot flame and the
temperature is not uniform, so bread can burn on
the bottom before the inside is properly done.
[This oven is available from
St. Paul Mercantile.]
The Butterfly #2421 is a relatively
large oven at 14 inches square and has an bottom
opening of approximately 9" x 10," with a flame plate
below the bottom oven rack. It must sit on a large,
flat cooking surface. It will not fit on the small
#2412 pressure stove or even an Alpaca cook stove, as
the Alpaca has four tapered "wings" to support cooking
pots only. Of course the oven can be placed on a
cooking
stand and be supported by the stand over a small
stove.
The useable size of the
Butterfly #2421 oven is established by the size of the
door and by normal thermodynamic principles - ovens
work because hot air can flow around the object being
baked. The door opening is 11" wide by 9"
high. The inside depth is 11". Baking pans
of approximately 10" square are about maximum for
proper heated airflow on all sides of the pan, and the
height of 9" is more than adequate for bread and
casseroles, for example.

Many Butterfly stoves have a
top rack specifically designed to hold the
#2421 oven, including all the gravity-flow
models such as the #2413, #2416, #2417, #2418,
and many of the multi-strand will also work
under the oven, such as the #2457. I have
kept a #2457 oven for many years specifically
to use with the oven. Years ago I gave a
#2413 as shown at right to my mother.
Note the top rack which holds the oven
securely. The best stove for use with the
oven, however, is the #2487. (My mother passed away June
1, 2012, at age 90.)
