Mate of mine returned from South Africa with a gift.
He is aware of my camp oven cooking addiction.

Suitable for over a bed of coals where no contact is required. Radiant heat. Easier to bring fresh coals or remove as the case may be?

The other thingamajig..used firstly as a lid lifer/remover.
Very stable in its action.

Then doubles as a CO lid stand. No need to look for somewhere clean to put the lid down.

Muzz

I'll use her on Sunday Muzz.
You can get a good look at her and get some design ideas going.

TBF

A nifty stand and lid holder. Will be interested to see it at COG.

Barb

Thanks Muzz, lol, as soon as I saw it I thought, "I can make one (or two) of those". Now lemme see, yes, I have some s/s rod.......

Its a good unit.
Folds flat and sits nicely in the top of CO carry bag.
Took a while for the penny to drop on how the lifter/rest had to be used.

Hi Aaaaaaartyy

I didnt take photos of your lifter for nothing at the COG. There just happened to be a bit of stainless bar laying around at work so I knocked this one up. Im still working on a bit different design for the 20"er, a lot larger of course and two handholds for a bit of leverage.

Sorry there are no photos of it in action but my COs are still packed in the trailer from my trip. Mmmmmm, may do a roast or something tonight, standby.

Robbo

Well she works a treat Big RT.

Got myself a little pork roast and I remembered your request about the beadlighter and someone also mentioned beads going out.

Here is the little stand I made for my 12" so the beads can breathe.

http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1p-sSJwDygcQgAAPwOoUjCOiaokHCCjTxKwscGQVXB8Wbps425NFq59BgBL4HEBvPE

The beads are just right all grey, bottom ones red as. Have been using the little technique someone mentioned giving the chimney a little flip to move the top beads to the bottom to get burning betterer.

The little Albion already has his legs and the stack is complete.

If only I could post a sample of the smell eminating from this thing.
Will update a bit later if I can hold off eating long enough to get a photo. I know its a boring old roast but the piccies are relevant to a few questions raised lately.

Robbo

I am full as a goog. Finding it hard to type but here goes.

The finished roast.

The roast onion, jacket taties and a big wad of pumpkin (bloody horse tucker) for the missus.

And ready to eat with the trimmings.

"Sighhhhh", I think I need a poppy sleep now.

Robbo

Verrrrrry interesting Robbo, I also copied the lid lifter/stand, found it a bit unstable so like you I  modified it using only rod but mine is different again. Also did a trivett to sit a pot on but used old horse shoes of which I have plenty. Will post pics as soon as I can, off on a trip for several days tomorrow.

Looks spot on Robbo- nice to see someone still roasts a few onions with their meal. I love that.

Good job
Skip [smiley=batman.gif]

Great shots Robbo and its looks a handy gadget, I would love to get my hands on one  ;).

I always bake onions at least one for me anyway.  Even if you dont eat it the smell is lovely.  Some cook whole garlic corms but Sparky would leave home if I did that.

Well there's a bit of inginuity at it's best - & the old KISS method, well demonstrated.
It's amazing isn't, someone was more than likely sitt'in back enjoying their favourite beverage, pondering about - beverage - & how they could improve on - beverage-  with a simple - beverage- & whoops, I seem to be stuck on something here! Well tick tock's hit double figures so I guess there's no harm done.........................
Hooroo for now,
