Title: Bigger than 12 Inches
Post by Michaelb on Feb 13^th, 2009 at 8:55pm

Folks a question for the Victorian members, all I seem to be able to buy is a 12 inch CIO, where in Vic does one get bigger than a 12. :D

Excuse the pun but I have a 12 inch :oand I want bigger.
;D(I know you folks will have a field day with this query) ;D

Bigger isnt always better ......its what you do with it that counts......or so Im told.
Having said that Billmans Foundry in Vic have big ones for sale.....Im not to sure if any of the cheaper chinese ovens come bigger than 12 inch.

There is a Camping shop in Echuca(main street) that carry a large range of CO try them. Billmans in Castlemaine have the best and Aussie made also. I brought two 15" Chinese made CO's with legs last year and both are good ovens.
Muzz
Here is a 18" with a 8kg leg of ham in it. (Billmans)

Hi Michael

That really surprises me. Just about every camping store that sells camp ovens up here has the 15" camp ovens. Both the round and the oval ones.

Not sure if you are near an Anaconda Store but they have a Camp Chef in 14". Photo below. We had several of these at the Hedlow COG

Check here for their store locations http://www.anaconda.com.au/StoreLocations.aspx

Billmans. (Aussie Made is hard to beat.) I love my two. I think they will post anything upto a 15", The 18" are huge and far too heavy for Aust. post. $35 extra Gets you a custom lid. Ya can't beat em.

Thats what I would be doing.

BTW - Nothin wrong with the Camp Chef ovens either. I have the full set and use them the most. (Probably cause I can replace em cheap)

JMHO

Wow, that is a nice little line up of CI, Isaak's with the name and curved date is the one that takes my fancy.
jono, I agree with your advice to Michaelb, spend the extra $$ and get a custom 15 or 18 from Billmans, well worth it.

I've got the 12" & 14" from anaconda.
Great oven..comes pre-seasoned and is very easy to maintain.
clean it right after you finish cooking and a light lick of oil before you put it away,
Probably done 10 meals in it...including stews.
Look new still.

Mb,
I have a 15" chinese which I consider 2nd only to my Billmans 18", it is a very useful size & nowhere as heavy as the Bimmans, you can fit a 12" pizza tray in the bottom with a trivet,
I was in camping world this morning & saw a few similar, they are a Coleman brand & should be able to pick them up any where they stock Coleman gear, if not, ask if they will order one for you.

The 15" next to the 10"

& packed with the 10" inside it.

Cheers, Mick.
