About camping ovens...?
Is there any sort of portable oven, grill, or whatever, that you could use that is simply like buy it once & use it forever without paying another cent? Something where you don't need electricity, or have to refill the gas, or replace anything, or pay for anything else. I just want a no hassle, easy, long lasting, portable camping oven. Does such a thing exist or am I doomed!?
PS I know fire would be one solution, but anything beside that.

Yes their are a few differnt types, Coleman makes a couple of styles that work in conjuction with their stoves or stand alone using propane. There are also solar ovens but these of course rely on the sun and then there are large cast iron pots that are called dutch ovens and you use these with charcoal or put them right in the fire.

Coleman has a portable grill that works well. It uses propane tanks, is quick and easy to set up, and has a very hard-enamel grill. I would caution you to use aluminum foil and Pam spray on it, as it causes food to stick a lot. I have this and it works wonders for camping.
Also, have you considered learning how to use a camping Dutch Oven? Lodge makes seasoned Dutch ovens from 2 quarts to 16 quarts. You can pretty much bake or stew anything you can in a conventional oven in them. They take some learning, but they also come with a manual and a cook book.

There are ovens out there however the running costs come from the fuel. So without paying another cent then you are looking for a free source of heat on demand when you need it - solar power would be out (no late meal and early breakfasts). A fire is the only practical way to go.
I haven't looked for a while but you can buy camp ovens to sit on a fire, or you can use a small clean oil drum with a wire rack in as well. Temperature control can be tricky but it is possible to cook virtually anything in one with a little practice and experience.

I have a Coleman stove oven, it works great, but is a little limited in size. Ok for a couple of people, but for a bigger crowd you need something else. I also have 3 cast iron dutch ovens, which are probably the best solution. There are many books on Dutch oven cooking and baking, but they are not suited for backpacking because of the weight. There are also Tin reflector ovens that are light weight and are used in front of a fire.
