And you can't close your own threads 260+ people have read it, just because they haven't replied doesn't mean anything other than they didn't have anything to add at the time.

Re: Camp Ovens
Bleeding hell ! Mate.. more people who took the time to go into this thread would have found the topic interresting than those that didnt. You cant please everyone and those that were interested are happy to see something more indepth come along
I personally am very interested in Camp Ovens as for me it's something to look forwards to in my retirement.
Plus putting it as nicely as I can, It's not the way to act when someone has a little and probably achohol enhanced erm comment. There would be no posters left if everyone took this stance.

Re: Camp Ovens
Getting tired of the same ol' canned beans? These slow simmered ham hock and beef beans are good eating anytime, anyplace -especially on a cold winters day at the lodge, camp or backyard pit! And they're real easy to do, as shown by the BBQ Pit Boys:

Re: Camp Ovens
Firstly welcome David, secondly my apologies for failing to respond earlier.
We use a mixture of camp ovens & cast skillets. We tend to cook a roast with veggies in one & usually a dessert in the other. I've found that the BBQ biscuits/heat beads give a far more consistent heat than the coals from the fire. I know it's cheating but my camping usually includes a 12 hr day out fishing so no time to get hot coals via the campfire. The skillet does breckie over the fire or drop scones etc.
Have you seen this neat backyard trick:

Re: Camp Ovens
Many thanks for your kind words cresta57.
Mostly Heat Beads user myself, it is not cheating!
That is a neat trick with the chainsaw.
How is the fishing today?

I recently discovered the South African Potjie Pot (pronounced Poikie) and bought a few.
They also fit nicely on my Ozpig.

Re: Camp Ovens
Without turning this into a U.K V Australia debate. I've been disappointed with the Lamb Shanks we've had over here. They were one of my favourites in the U.K cooked all day in a crock pot they were a delight to come home to on a cold Winters evening. We've had them quite a few times here, done exactly the same way, for some reason they're very bland, mainly just gristle & fat with very little actual taste. We've stopped buying them all together.

Re: Camp Ovens
We use Beef Ribs instead... half the price. This fad didn't half push the price of lamb shanks up.
