Re: Camp Ovens
Of course we were, that was all the chef could find during his daily shop in Fortnum & Masons.

Bizarrely, lamb shanks that aren't miniscule are hard to come by here in NZ and can cost the earth.
What does the OP think about Hangi's as a way to cook

Re: Camp Ovens
Never experienced a Hangi in person.
Sounds like a Pacific Islander thing too.
How do you know when the food is cooked - by experience one would think.
Gas fired stainless steel Hangis are available, but the real thing would be more interesting.
As an ex Chef I am always interested in the basic principles, is a Hangi cooking by steaming?

Main thing I have against camping is the Ablution side of things.

Re: Camp Ovens
Absolute Crap.... The point of the Hangi is to have the food traditonaly cooked with banana or other big leaves in coals in the Ground. I wouldn't even call that a Hangi. There is no way food is going to taste the same in that.
How do you find the time to do this camp oven cooking ? I'm genuinely curious about that one. ?
I think we are shell shocked from the time restraints of 29 years plus of child rearing... still got at least another 4-5 years to go as well. Although it's far far easier now with the youngest being 14. Only the Teenage tantrums to get through now.. and thats solved with humour for the most part.

Re: Camp Ovens
Have you got or seen one of those Big green Egg BBQ's ?
They are supposed to be the best around .... I'd say it's similar to your big steel Kamado.

Re: Camp Ovens
No but I would love one, they are highly regarded with almost a "cult following". One day................
Big Green Egg is ceramic and heavy with silly wheels, Big Steel Keg is light weight steel high tech with big wheels for ease of movement.
In the meantime I find my Big Steel Keg works well with Pickled Pork cooked for 5 hours over lump charcoal with Hickory, low & slow and comes out as the best HAM you will ever taste.
See:

Big Steel Keg is marketed in Australia by Gasmate and can be found in Barbeques Galore and similar.

I was getting me hopes up until I saw the price. I'll see if one of my mates can make one.
