Don't know of anyone who still does this, but Jaguar restorers still manage to get their exhaust manifolds recoated so there must still be someone out there.

Favourite camp oven recipie? that would definatly be goanna roast with beer damper on the side

played with my camp oven over easter, made some scones (date, pumpkin and pain), damper and off course a couple of roasts and breakfast using the lid

pumpkin scones


date scones


i forgot to take a frying pan to use on the fire, i was right until the other two groups left. i thought i would try using thelid of the camp oven

Quite the chef aint we Kelvin

The scones and brekky look great, you got some great results.

good on ya, it was still there when i drove off so i'm guessing the birds would have grabbed it

What about a camel curry cook? I don't have any camel at the moment but will substitute venison instead.

Does any one take a smoker away on trips nothing like smoked fish for breaky with a couple of eggs and toast
