Title: "Arro" Camp Oven
Post by Mackerel Whisperer on Apr 2^nd, 2008 at 9:34pm

Hi all

I have an ad in the local trader "Wanted-Camp Ovens" Got a reply tonight, A bloke has an "Arro" Camp oven, He said it's old and ridgy-dige but I have never heard of them. I was on my mobile phone and conversation/details where sketchy. I have to wait until Sunday to inspect...... and no doubt buy. He wants $70 for it. I was wondering if any one else has heard of these ovens?

Regards

Jono

Jono, I had a thought about that camp oven, it is possibly a "Carron" camp oven. I have a couple of lids and the markings are quite hard to make out, so I could see how someone could think it says arro.

G'day Astro,

Say that it is a Carron CO and in OK condition, is $70 a fair price?
Are they any good?

Cheers

Jono

I think that any old cast iron oven in good condition under $100 today is a steal.

Here's a photo of the 10" Carron lid I reckon that yours is definitely a Carron the marking and lettering appear to be the same, What do you think?

Yep, with you on that Astro, Definitely a Carron. Have you only got lids? I think the bits where the bail connect would be a dead give away if some one has a full oven to compare. Thanks Astro

Astro, Their very simalar, the ears on yours seem to be tappered alot more and the pot looks very strait up and down (same dia. top and bottom) Has your base got pretty thin walls like a Metters, Mine does? I'll have a better look at the legs on mine when I get home.

Yeah Jono thin cast, but the taper is the same as any oven it's just the angle of the photo.
