g'day everyone. have always wondered how good it would be to have a knowledge  of cooking in the great outdoors. Bought a camper trailer and 4wd this year and my wife and I are looking to getting out there and start enjoying the great country we live in ;D

Hi and welcome.  Just remember though, not every meal turns out right.  I know I have messed a few of mine up over the years.  ::)

Welcome aboard.  [smiley=chef.gif]

Just enjoy it all. 8-)

G'day valleygxl

Sounds like you're about to enjoy the good times.
Hope ya got a Nissan mate.
Cos there's a lot of Toyotas out there that'll need your assistance.
This is the place to learn about cast iron and cooking.

Gday and welcome mate.
Dont worry too much, camp oven cooking is like sex and pizza....even when its bad its still pretty good.

Hey TBF, you was pretty quiet at Broke about yer Nissan, was it because it was the only one there among all them Toyotas ??
LOL


PD

Old TOYOTA's nevva die - they turn the old ones into NISSANs I am told...

Grrr!!! ;D

:)Thanks for the welcome everyone. hey TBF without getting to far off the track with the 4wd jokes just want you to know, there is a recovery hook on most Toyotas and a note! "attatch buggered Nissans here". (only Joking)
Only came across this site last night and need to spend some time to see what its all about. I bought a camp oven a couple of weeks ago and need to clean the wax off it and season it. All looks like fun from there on. Looking forward to getting my wife [smiley=chef.gif] involved as she loves cooking and has some great recipes ;)

Astroboy had his Nissan there.  

They are both great 4Bs..
They both have their problems.
They both have their admirers.

I'm just glad we got one of them.

valleygxl120, I gather from that you own a Prado?
The latest 3litre TD is better than the patrol..now there is a concession. ;)
cheers
Aart

Welcome to the cast iron asylum  :D
cheers George ;)

Cheers TBF your right, its a 2003 Prado but mines the 3 litre T/D before the new D4D diesel. Good old reliable tech. They all pretty good these days as long as their maintained. Certainly looking forward to getting out there and using it.  [smiley=tank.gif]

I'm with you Aart,  Go the Nissan, have just rebuilt a 2.5 diesel motor for a  1986 Navara that I paid $500 for. Not a fan of the modern plastic Prado, Hilux, Navara poser units.
Older is better both in vehicles and ladies   ;D
Kev

 [smiley=cool.gif]you won't get an argument about older tech with me, I ride older dirt bikes and have a great time, it cheap as well. I guess its like camp oven cooking, a tried and proven method and still plenty to learn.
(just not sure about the nissan though - go Toyota :P)

Welcome valleygxl.  I think what they are trying to say is there's a fine line between "hobby" and "obsession" and that may apply here.   ;)  From a died in the wool Jeep person (flame suit on).

Cast iron stuff can really getya sucked in.... insert eBay warning here.... :D

g,day billybushcook
Ive got a 1978 YZ250E, 1980 YZ 125G and a Bultaco 1975 Matador all good fun. I guess its getting a bit off track seeing as this is a camp oven cooking forum, but what the heck this is set a side for introductions. surely everone doesn't stand around looking at cast iron pots all day. Variey is the spice of life. [smiley=gunsmilie.gif]
