Doesn't stick?

Sometimes it sticks a bit - but you know how to clean a camp oven properly don't you???















(place it upside down on the fire and leave it until cherry red...)

If you like to have your cast iron pots clean, free of rust and no stick follow THIS instructions.

I always used to clean mine like in chucaro's link above (and usually still do). However an old bushie showed me the campfire trick for those times when you have something stuck to the bottom - which happens occasionally to the best seasoned camp over - especially if you cook curries, etc in it.

In the morning when the camp oven is cool you dust the ash out of it, re-oil and put it away.

I can't see any down sides...? Don't knock it until you have tried it.

Got an Amazon sale catalogue in the mail today and the have some for $39- I think it was, downside is they have a lip around the lid so the plus is they'll hold the coals on the lid but the downside is that the coals may fall inside when removing. They have some lid removers that look the foods though, only $5-95. Jaffle irons on sale too.

That is not a down side at all. It doesn't take much practice not to get coals in your food (or - you only do it once ).

I have always bought my camp ovens from local camping shops (e.g. capalaba, salisbury) and never paid more than $50 each.

Hi
Have a look at the Cobb Cookers, we just got one and they are fantastic, cook roasts, cakes, pizza, damper, BBQ and a lot more. Light weight and easy to use. Comes in a neat bag and uses about 8 heat beads to do a roast.

Heaps of stuff on the net just google it.

Can also be used as the heat source for a cast iron camp oven!
