I rather fancy a 6" Lodge.  I have just spent three days of hassle with my computer making 25 DVDs from photographs of a friends trip and will get enough to buy one.  I went to the Lodge site but it didnt appear to take overseas orders on line.  Whats the best way to go about getting one?

Yep they do send overseas.

I was going to get two of them a while back and sent them an email but they wanted $79.00 postage so I have let it go for a while.

Send them an email to the address on their site.

Ta, thats a lot of postage  [smiley=cry.gif] I usually find if I double the cost that works out roughly the final payment for me but I guess I havent bought anything as heavy as a CO from Overseas.  I will email and check it out.  Might rethink my options I do have a small chinese one  [smiley=redface.gif].

Skip mentioned a place similar to Cabelas today where you can get stuff from the States.

What was it Skip ?????

That would be Basspro. www.basspro.com another great place to spend money. Have a look.

Regards Skip :)

They don't have the 6" Lodge.  Bugger

Heck whats a few dollars here or there when you want something!!! LOL.

I emailed Lodge for costing on 1, 2 or 3 L6C03 posted to Sydney.  I realise its still Sunday there or is it Saturday LOL but I am sure they will email me back eventually.

Got a quick response from Lodge:

L6C03-             $39.95

Shipping PP      $48.00

                       ______

TOTAL              $87.95

No reduction for quantity LOL - it should be on its way

Wow, you bought it.  Good on you Carolyn.

The guy who is helping me get the 5" over from the States is going to pack a 6" in with it as well so looks like I am going to get me one to.  ::) :P

My credit card hates me.  :-[ :-/ :'(

Good on you Carolyn, you won't be sorry with a Lodge they are beautiful to cook in and as I have said before they are my favourites to cook in.


All the best

Far more practical to buy a big one Skip locally but just for the novelty (and to show off) I decided as I had (or am about to have) a little loose $ from the DVDs I made, why not spend it on something solid.

I am having my monies worth with the visions of what I might cook in it by itself and on top of the larger ones and seeing Derek's caramel sauce ^^ set my taste buds going  ;D

Derek I have another parcel coming from a red hatter net friend and I am having a fit in case it doesnt arrive, regarding payment.  She has graciously had it sent to her and is reposting it on to me.  I am then to send a cheque.  I would much rather have taken full responsiblity for it but again it was something I wanted and this is the only way for me to get it.  The shop is now out of stock of this particular item.

Maybe in the cooking section we should have a section "Small Serves" or similar for cooking for 1-2.  I know you can reduce the quantities but some dont have the confidence or worry about waist (or should that be waste).  I will have two small ones and plan to use both at the same time but probably separate.

The little ones I can find a sheltered spot for where I wouldn't be concerned about burning the house down  :D.  Almost gale winds here and more expected.  They are early its usually more windy in August.

Well my new baby arrived today, its just a bit smaller than I envisaged but will be put to work just the same.  I will have to rethink my plans.

The postage was $50.45, choke, choke so I desposed of that sticker very hastly before it was seen  :D.

Its very nicely made and only the smallest chip to the seasoning.

Just a question there is no hole in the top of the lid for taking it off the CO - Sparky says he could drill a hole in it!!!   Any tips on whether this should or should not be done?

Actually none of the 5 and 6 inch ovens have a ring for lifting.  You could drill a hole but that may weaken it.  Alternately lift it off with a pair of pliers or multi-grips.
