ou’ll find maintenance for the field oven, NSN 7310-01-388-6606, in TM 10-
7360-208-13&P. The TM makes several references to the oven’s door gasket. It’s
mentioned in the unit troubleshooting table, the unit maintenance chapter, the
RPSTL and the Illustrated List of Manufactured Items. But wherever the gasket’s
mentioned, you can disregard it.
The headshed says the oven doesn’t need a gasket. In fact, they say the oven
bakes better without it.
New Oven? Burn off Oil
And here’s another cooking tip: a
new field oven from the manufacturer
may contain oils left over from manu-
facturing. Burn them off before you do
any baking. In a well-ventilated area,
heat the oven to baking temperature
(at least 400°F). Continue to heat for
at least two hours or until the oils are
burned off. Leave the oven door
slightly open during heating.
{blargh!}
this stuff
tastes like
Oil!
mmm!
this stuff
tastes like
Oil!
that’s because I
don’t
have one—and
I don’t
need
one!
Goodbye, Gasket
the tm says
you have a
gasket… but
we
can’t
find it!!
Field Oven…
I
f you’re still running the old M-1941 or M-1950 space heaters,
turn them in now. These heaters are inefficient and unsafe to operate.
What’s more, the Army has no spare parts for them.

Space
Heaters…
Replace M-1941, M-1950
Space Heaters…NOW!
adios, old timers…
it’s time for your
retirement!
wait a minute!
you
guys don’t look much
different from us…
what’s
the
big
deal?
we may look
like you, but
we’re
new and
improved!
Replace the M-1950 with
the arctic space heater,
made for use in the 5-man
and 10-man arctic tents.
Replace the M-1941
with the H-45 space heater,
made for use in the general
purpose and TEMPER tents.
Both the H-45 and the
arctic heaters are members
of the family of space
heaters (FOSH). Although
there’s no Army-wide
policy letter ordering
replacement, several local
policy letters order it.
For more information on FOSH, go to the
Defense Supply Center Philadelphia website:
