Lisa, what about a table top convection oven?

https://www.orderinfrawave.com/?cid=582720

There are lots of them out there now. One, would you believe, even includes
a built in breadmaker and jam-maker. @@

I have one that I bought back in the 70s and I wouldn't trade it for all the
new stuff in the world. They also make great dehydrators, which is what I
use mine for most of the time.

I own a BakePacker which is a small lightweight convection
oven that works on top of a backpacking cookstove. I have
been able to make cakes and breads on the trail with it,
and it comes in different sizes. It would probably work on
top of a wood cookstove. I highly recommend it as a
product, it has served me well for over a decade.

I checked out the site. Seems like it would work and it's inexpensive,
both
a plus. The problem for me is that I dislike the idea of cooking food
inside
plastic.

I want to avoid--as best I can--turning on my propane oven this fall and
winter making a big exception for holiday meals, cookie baking and the
like.
This is an experiment, I desire to find a half-way decent alternative to
using our oven that is more sustainable than propane, and to cook a whole
range of foods in this new way.

I can't afford a cookstove (unless I get a freebie like James did, or a
very
cheap one someone is almost giving away), we bought eye exams for four and
glasses for three people with our (first) stimulus check. We were all long
overdue and had prescription changes, so it was necessary.
