Right i'm after my 1st Dutch Oven,a secondhand 10 inch would be good,can't find any over here in England.

Any ideas anyone..cheers.......Willy

G'day Willy

Have a look at the Cabelas Website, I know its new gear but the price of their dutch ovens (Camp Chef with their own design on the lid)+ shipping is outstanding. A fair few of us on here have dealt with them and the service is top of the line.

I have seen the odd one or two on UK eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/

Willy, have you tried google.uk?

I checked that more than a year ago, when I was trying to find out what older ovens looked like.  

I also signed into a couple of rving forums and asked where to look.  What I got in reply was a url for Lodge UK.  I'd bet someone representing Camp Chef is over there now too.

& they said, no old ovens there because they were melted down for WWI and didn't come back into use much.  

So, you may be stuck with new.  Still, if they're either Camp Chef or Lodge they are good quality.

Amazon in the UK has new Lodge Camp Ovens.  Have a look here http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_kh/203-5677396-7876730?url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords=lodge+dutch+camp+oven&x=0&y=0

derek..tryed ebay,my middle name is now google..lol..ok cheers all,

Willy my first CO and only one for many years was a cheap chinese one from a "Disposal Store".  I suppose due to your climate you might not have as many camping stores as we do.  You will read in a lot of the threads they work fine even though not as desirable as some of the antique and special ones a lot in here have collected.  Good luck with your searches.

Carolyn, the Gulf Stream makes England warmer than Newfoundland.  You have to get up to Scotland before you begin to get temperatures as cool as those in Newfoundland.

Having many more people, the UK will have many more camping stores.  I can give you urls to 3 UK rving forums.  What you call 'free camping' I've been told they call 'wild camping'.

UK is one the places I'm planning on visiting with an rv.

Lattitude London, England 51      32 N      0      5 W
Edinburgh, Scotland      55      55 N      3      10 W      5:00 p.m.
St John's AP (S)          47° 37' N     52° 45' W

Of course, the Labrador Current, a cold one, comes down by St. John's.

Still zero plus stuff all equals bloody cold LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mick.

Not to cold here,just gets a bit wet at times,plenty of camping shops / stores about but no good ones near me..

Anyway...

Whilst looking on the internet for Dutch Ovens Cast Iron i came across a South African site called Biltong2u Ltd.
So i had a look and theres some nice cast iron pots ''Potjie Pot'' 2 styles 1 with a flat bottom and 1 that looks like a couldron with 3 legs.
They also sell a lot of other stuff,check it out...cheers......Willy http://www.biltong2u.co.uk

Y'all don't dress right.

Y'all don't insulate your houses.  You should.  It would make summer's nicer.  & cost less in 'winter' - not that most of you have one, a winter, I mean.

A person I know who went to Tassie for late winter, early spring said that she found it cold there and it was because of the lack of insulation and the lack of attention to heating systems.  

I've been told countless times, 'we don't have to insulate, since we have a warm country.'  Mick, if you go check out insulation even to the tune of two online Canadian articles, you're engineering knowledge will make you start to think otherwise.

There are Canucks who don't go camping the warm months.  They go when it's -37' outside because they like seeing the world at that time  and going when fewer people are out there.

So, to say that the UK is cold, nonsense.  The Uk is warm compared to Canada and a lot of northern US.    

To say that people can't go camping in those temperatures is nonsense.  People go!!!

;D ;D ;D ;D the fish'n is good today  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry LK,
no malice intended, I just felt like a stir this morning.

By the way "to dress right" means shorts, thongs & a hat!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Mick.

LK
Insulation isn't that why the Stubby holder was invented or the Esk and the long neck over coat...Aussie most important things..these things are packed before a snake bite kit. Go to a Aussie BBQ or COG and they will stand around in the sun 40+ C but the beer will be cold.

I ain't gonna be there when it's 40.  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!.

You sure need insulation in your houses as protection from that.

But don't call anything that requires real clothes cold unless its a Force 10 storm @ 6'C or below 0.

Thats probably why most of our modern houses are brick with insulation in the cieling LK, & if you shade the west wall it will stop the bricks heating up & keep the house cool!

35 - 40C ........time to go fish'n!!!!

Mick.

Sorry Willy, it appears we have gotten of the subject on this thread, I would recomend Cabellas for international service, had no problem with delivery of my 20"er,

Mick.

I think I'll still plan to bring N. American equivalent of the Turban & the long flowing poncho.

But Willy, if I found Lodge advertised in the UK a couple of years ago, they must still be selling there today.

& I have a Dutch friend who found a Dutch source for 'new' ovens.  Both are one heck of a lot closer and fewer freight $.

:P

They are a bit pricey '' new ones '' in England,i'm not bothered what make or nationality it is...Willy

Willy,
we have a lot of cheap plain Chinese ovens in camping stores over here that are sold under the "Primus" brand, might be worth a look????

Mick.

ok thank you

How much freight do you pay over there?

How about from US, wicked.

& from Australia, more wicked.

I meant he might find the Primus brand over there LK,
have you heard of Primus over there? they are a major manufacturer of camping equipment I thought,

Mick.

Well, I know that the pages Cornelius found were for Taiwanese made oven, for all they said 'Dutch' in the Netherlands and in the Dutch language.  But I didn't keep the pages.  I just know he found them.

:)

Cornelius found this.  http://www.qvist.nl/OC%20SHOP%20Dutch%20Ovens.htm , as he had before.

Well, checking 1 Euro = 1.69 AU$.  a 10" pot or 25 cm pot is 29.5 Euro, or  $49.86 AU$
 
Not as good as in the US, but better than some other places.

How does this compare with what you found Willy?

Thanks heaps LK

That link is interesting.
I speak the language and will be going to the Netherlands again next year.
It appears that have COGs..
My wife will not be happy when she finds this out.
Guess what I will be doing next year.. ;D

Who would have thought that the Dutchies would be Camp Oven cooking.

Send Cornelius a pm.

He is a member here.  & he's been alerted that I'm going to post this.

He belongs to some camping/rving forums in that NL.  He could give you their urls and you could bone up on stuff you want to know.

& check out his profile.  He probably has his photo albums listed.  They've done some very interesting trips, including one this past June.
