Hi Guy's
I have a "tool" that a worm farm farmer in gyimpe makes that will lift any lid off camp ovens-spun or cast and will not drop ash in your food.It has 3 legs and is spring loaded so you can hold the lid side ways to empty the ash off it.Will try and find his card he was at the camp oven festival and that is were i got it from, he sold heaps
Cheers Wizard
Wizard I bet he sold plenty as this is the main problem I have found with camp ovens and the Bedourie is the worst.
Neptune I don't think the sealing would make a lot of difference as whatever you are cooking will be composed of water and it will turn to steam and vent through the lid seal. I was just reading a book on Outdoor Cooking by Viv Moon and the tips in making bread is to put something in the lid seal to stop moisture buildup.
My first effort cooking bread turned into burnt offering so I put it away to throw it out and made a second one which turned out OK. The odd part of it was when the rest of the party came back from fishing they saw the burnt bread and instead of throwing it out they just cut off the burnt bits and smothered the rest with treacle and ate it. It just goes to show you even it it's burnt fresh bread sure goes down well.
Neptune I wasn't talking about the going to the extreme I was referring to tight sealing v's half mm gaps. Of course leaving the lid off will make a lot of difference but that wasn't what was implied.
I know what you meant Bros, just having a go at you, but if you read what I said again, I was really talking about the speed that you can cook things. I believe the better the seal the quicker things will cook, and after a long day fishing and being in the sun, I want to get stuck into my meal and then relax. I guarantee that I have reduced the cooking times for my roasts by at least half an hour and no burning at all.
What you are seeing in those pics is a part of the BQMAX Portable and Compact Barbecue currently manufactured by a mate of mine in New South Wales called Max. He has recently started advertising in Bush 'n Beach Fishing Magazine. His email address is bqmax@dodo.com.au.
I have been giving it the rounds of the park and it comes out as a bit of top gear. Watch out for a feature article in a future edition of BNB.
Hey Neptune, you sure that Camp Oven isn't a Westinghouse Fan Forced model. [smiley=oops.gif]
I think Neptune has a very good camp oven mainly due to the fact it was a one off and would be over designed. The "assembly line" models are designed to be just adequate.
Derek, Mon was asking about the gizmo but I am sure he will see your reply.
Hey Wizard have you found that worm farmer yet?
Thanks Wizard your memory must be as good as mine Gympie, Gin Gin bit of a difference but it is better for me as Gin Gin is closer and I will be down that way before the end of the year so I will look them up.
Derek, I know you jest, but one of my friends takes a gas oven out of a caravan when he goes camping, the thing is pretty big and takes up a lot of space, but he swears by it. We go to a few fishing comps and everybody else has their little camp stoves and we have a full oven with stove top burners and griller.
I often take a pressure cooker with me camping so I guess we all have our little differences. I think the key to it all is use what you are comfortable with. Speaking of pressure cookers I guess with the good seal on the camp oven you most likely would cook quicker.
Wizard I went to see the worm farmer in Gin Gin a couple of weeks ago and had a look at his lid lifter. It is designed for camp ovens with a hook in the middle of the lid and I didn't want to modify my Bedourie by putting a lifting hook in the middle of the lid. I have since modified my Bedourie to fix the instability with lifting the lid and oven as the original could be dangerous so I won't have any need for a lifter but it would be great for the ovens with a hook in the middle and also if you had a number of camp ovens on the go at once
Hi,
Anyone had a go at one of these. Bought one for my oldies last christmas and have to say, they are great. Great for lamb roast and full baked dinner whilst camping. Even cooked a roast at our house once, then just picked it up, held it in my lap in the car whilst it was still cooking and we drove around to another house and had dinner there. 7 heat beads are enough to do a full roast dinner, and then there is enough heat left to place some dough in it and have fresh bread cooked and ready to eat the next morning. http://www.cobbaustralia.com.au/welcome/page4.shtml
Cheers,
Jeff
