14in BSR CAMPING OVEN

[Daniel T.]

Found this at a shop they are asking $95 for. This would be the most I’ve spent on a piece. What do you thing is it worth it ?

I personally wouldn't pay too much more than a new 14 in oven (10-12% more). Do you collect BS&R?

[Daniel T.]

No, just wanted a vintage camping oven.

It has a couple of things going for It, especially if it’s a shallow #14 camp oven. First BSR has been out of business for quite a while now, so they aren’t making them any longer. Second Lodge doesn’t make a #14 shallow oven anymore. I’ve been reading in camp oven cookbooks and recipes online and the shallow camp ovens are preferred for bread, and deep camp ovens are preferred for stews. Although you can get by with either it’s just the recommendations. So in my opinion seeing it’s a BSR that hasn’t been in production for quite some time and if it’s a shallow oven, then to me I’d be carrying it home. No meat for profit, but you would be getting an American oven that’s out of production and paying about what a new Lodge #14 Deep would cost you.

If you like the piece and can afford the price then go for it, really it comes down to what you feel comfortable with. If this is a vendor mall you might ask if they will do a 10% discount. People will always reference places other items have sold (for more or less) but when you stop to think about it, that was just a price they felt something was worth to them.
