Hi again all
An old tip on how to check how hot your camp oven is

Just before starting your cooking drop a small piece of white paper into your camp oven and note the colour change

Yellowish - moderate about 180 c
Light Brown - Hot 200 c
Dark Brown - Very Hot 315 c
Black & on Fire - To bloody hot

Really works
Cheers Furphy

Heres one when using heat beads.

Hey Furphy, how long do you leave the paper in the oven. Wink

Or use one of these. Grin

Notice the temperature. Just about 180 centigrade or 350 farenheit. Good baking temperature.

Told you it was an old one Derek usually leave the paper for a couple of minutes and the paper usually colours in that time
Like your chart and will use it as well (Not as a tester though)

Cheers mate

Use a noncontact laser thermometer. Instantly measure temperatures in fahrenheit of celsius. Just point and pull the trigger.

More info please Bobkat, I don't think I've ever seen one. Where to buy and how much ? Rob.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Could one of you find an online link/url for that thermometer please, with picture? Some of your lingo over is different, ie. heat beads and briquettes.
