I have wanted to make a folding camp oven cooking table for a while, but a little different to what I have seen.
It will fold up to go in the trailer and have the wind guards built on, also a cast grate for the beat beads to sit on and a ash tray under it. Folding legs to support the camp ovens on, as some of my ovens don’t have legs.
It was not finished when I first I tried it out the other night, but I was keen to see how well it will work.
Some photos of it first trial
14” oven on the bottom cooking the roast, the10”warming for the dessert.
Now the 12” with the vegies on the 14” and the 10” on top.
Everything cooking with the 8” having the green vegies on top.
I can only tell how good it was as I forgot to take a photo, Roast beef, roast spuds, pumpkin, onions, sweet potato and mixed greens, with a sticky date pudding for dessert.
As I have now finished the camp oven stand, and I am happy with the result. I ended up making a heat bead chimney stand onto the side of it as well. This is removable and with a tray to hold any ash as well.
The finished stand with the ashtray.
It is quite compact when folded up. I will use a strap to keep it closed when travelling.
I used it again tonight but with only one 12” oven, the heat bead burn on the bottom was excellent, this is what I was hoping for by using the cast iron grill, and with at ash tray under it there was very little heat loss downward. I could actually hold my hand on the lower part of the stand frame without it being to hot at all.
