    As above, use the oven, peanut oil is best, but DO NOT use olive oil.
    Unless you crave Cancer.

    Ah ha, you confirmed my thought...but wasn't quite sure as I also thought peanut oil was the best, but didnt want to lead anyone astray,

    I assume from the advice given so far that you bought a cast iron oven and not one of the spun steel ones - if so, the advice has been good and all I'd add is that the more you use it the better it will become.

    I've used Bedourie and Hillbilly spun steel ovens but prefer the cast iron by a long shot. The Bedourie is the best for transporting - no sharp projections like the Hillbilly - and you won't break the spun steel ones.
    However, I bought my ovens to cook in and with a little bit of care in packing and transporting, I haven't broken one in the 25 years that I've been using them.

    Following are a few thumbnails from a recent Rover's Restaurant. The 4kg Rump and veges are in the cast iron ovens and the Osso Bucco is in the Hillbilly oven.
    I'm sure you'll enjoy your meals from your camp oven and don't be afraid to experiment.

    No no Joel, don't make that leap!
    Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils to consume!
    It is by far my favourite oil to use, and I bloody love the taste!

    The question here is about curing a camp oven, and rubbing oil over it and bringing it to extreme temperatures.
    In this case, olive oil releases very powerful carcinogens.(read this study 8 months ago)
    It would be a very very deadly thing to do to a cooking utensil.
    Olive oil is completely safe till it reaches high temperatures, gentle frying of a fish or something is fine.
    Deep fry, or cook in olive oil that has reached a 'smoking' point and you will have to watch over your shoulder for the rest of your days.
    Peanut oil, and grapeseed oil are capable of reaching extreme temperatures without a problem, or taste change
    -----------------------------------------------.
    As a disclaimer, I am passing on what I know from studies to date that I've come across, and as all intelligent people know, todays facts are disproven tomorrow.
    Seek to update always. HTH
