Have had this gadget in the shed for nigh on 30yrs., just now and then stuff a few twigs in and cook ourselves a rough meal.
Because we have quite a few good cuts of venison at the moment thought a bit of a slow cook on a haunch could be the go.
Marinated the venison in red wine for a few days, bit of garlic'n'rosemary where the cracks were appearing then without further ado into the CO for a nice slow cooking treatment.
Hope the pics turnout, the eating was in one word  "bloody good"   Sorry, thats two!

Never seen one of those before mikel. I use a "Camp Oven Mate" on the patio which does basically the same job as it encloses a camp oven and stops heat loss, use a quarter the amount of heat beads too.
Aaaahh it's all good fun.

As PD said can't say I have seen one of those.
Must cook cool being next to a timber fence, does it have a ceramic insert?
The venison and the veges look spot on.

PD & Muzz.
It is actually terracotta, about 3cm. thick so once up to heat is not that different to coals directly on top of a CO. It does radiate quite a lot of heat so works best out of the breeze.
They are a tradition Japanese form of cooking. I use a fuel mix of chunks of gidgea and heat beads to get the heat up, then as the cooking progresses the heat tapers off somewhat giving the result most delectable!
It also works very well as a Tandoori oven, marinated and tandoori spice coated chicken, lamb, etc. straight on the metal rack. A hand full of sawdust thrown over the coals give a great smokey addition.

Hey mikel, when are you having a garage sale and getting rid of all this stuff you've accumulated ? I'll bring my tandem axle trailer..... oh, and cash.

I use a Big Green Egg for smoking meat.  It is a komado style cooker.

Do you live in the U.S. or is there an Aussie distributor?

I live in America.

I don't know if there is an Aussie distributor or not.

RE: Biggreenegg
We do have a Aussie distributor....... BBQ"s Galore.

Ok, camp_cookie, I've changed my 'notes section' so that you can see that I too live in the Americas, North America, that is, Canada, way out east.  

So, do I assume that you live in the U.S?  What part?  

The Big Green Egg looks like it would be horrendously costozo to send to Newfounland, never mind Australia.

Hi Guys,
I discovered your chat and notes about cooking in ye'ol Kamado, 30 yrs young not bad!
Thought you might like to see where Kamado's are at these days, they have come a long way and even more durable and robust than past designs. We have sold our 'baby' size to many campers to make their cooking life easier and tastier.
To learn more visit www.kamadocookersaustralia.com or 'google 'kamado cookers' in the australian search.
Happy cooking
Michael
