Very creative weeds.

i try to do something different each time i.e. rack of lamb, whole pumkin etc

everybody does the standard lump of meat

Since we are posting camp oven pics...

I recall this was in victoria and we were cooking goat. I just love the colour of the fire in this pic.

Nice pics weeds - What is the pumpkin stuffed with?

I must admit, I usually just do the standard lump of meat and veggies, because at the end of a long day I don't feel like doing anything too fancy. That said, the meat is often goat, venison, goose etc, and is at least stuffed with garlic and herbs.

broccoli, cauliflower and white sauce........it does look weird carry a campoven into the fruit and veg store to make sure the pumkin fits

We love our Hillbilly, cook roast extremely well and the lid can be used as a frypan, also the lid lifting with coals on it is the best on the market, no way you can spill coals into your oven.

Roast for 2

We have also kept our small cast iron oven for dampers.

I notice most of you use wire/mesh racks at the bottom when roasting?

I prefer to slice up a sacrificial onion and line the bottom with that. I find it makes the flavour even nicer.

Oui Oui! Eet is like.. 'ow you say... mirepoix (chef's blend of chopped onion, carrots and celery).

Doesn't stick?

Bit of oil, chunks of carrot, celery and quartered onions. Then post roast, pour in a bottle of red, a cup of water and reduce for gravy. Well you might want some more water.

Mirepoix if I remember back to tafe is more generuically roast veg done with bones for stocks
