Hello All, I am wondering what people use to stop
camp ovens and jaffle irons from rusting?

I agree with the above.....although as far as the jaffle iron goes, we simply don't bother cleaning it at all. It just goes back in the camper's boot ready for next time.
The
camp oven....if it's been used for a stew or similar, I generally put a small amount of water in the bottom, place it back on the side of the fire and let it heat up until the water is warm, swill it around and wipe out with paper towel or even newspaper, continue to warm it up until it is totally dry....then cool it and wipe the inside with a small amount of cooking oil. Don't wash the outside at all.

If it's rusting after use it sounds like it needs to be seasoned again. When you do try and get a bit more heat and oil into the
camp oven and jaffle iron than you did last time.
The method I use is to scrub any rust off with with steel wool and NO detergent. Then heat them on the stove, BBQ or in the oven at a low heat (low flame or 120 degrees). I then pour a shallow amount of canola oil into the oven and upturned lid and put back on the bbq or in the oven and leave for a good while (45mins - 1 hr). I use paper towels to wipe as much oil as I can onto the other parts and put them on the low heat also. When cool the surface should be dry and non stick. After the next use it goes the great black colour.
As everyone else has said I just wipe any food off with a wet paper towel. A bit of hot water helps shift anything stubborn or steel wool if you're really stuck.
good luck
cheers
