A large sturdy cast-iron pot used for cooking in a camp fire.

Examples

“Our bread was baked for us by one of the Government cooks, and the scones and cakes which we consumed so ravenously were baked by my mother in a camp oven. This primitive but useful oven requires very little description. It is a round iron vessel, standing on three legs and covered with a dome-shaped tightly-fitting lid. Fire is placed above and below, and I know no more satisfactory mode of baking bread or cake.”
