A couple of good pics there dave.
Don't tell me you have given the choofer the flick? See the home-made sauce is out again [smiley=drool5.gif] [smiley=drool5.gif] |

Title: Re: Our trip Limestone Coast SA Post by brianp on Nov 12th, 2013 at 10:43pm
I see you as eating well Dave.
Why is it us South Aussies get a craving for Pasties as soon as we leave this great state? Dave do you make your own Home Made sauce ? What size camp oven is that you are using in the Smoky Joe? |

Title: Re: Our trip Limestone Coast SA Post by Derek on Nov 13th, 2013 at 10:50am Smokeydk wrote on Nov 12th, 2013 at 8:46pm:
Dave, next time try just a ring of beads (close together) around the rim of the oven. You will find you will get a better even browning all over them ;) You sure are visiting some nice spots down there. |
|
Title: Re: Our trip Limestone Coast SA Post by Smokeydk on Nov 13th, 2013 at 8:12pm
Brian we make our own home made sauce.....we gave Rick some....he likes it too
Our campoven is a 10" 4. 1/2 qt The Smokey Joe is 14" wide..... I'm looking at getting a 8" wide collar to fit on top to cook a whole chicken..shouldnt be to hard to get made kinda like this Weber-Jumbo-Joe-Extension.jpg (112 KB | ) |

Title: Re: Our trip Limestone Coast SA Post by Smokeydk on Nov 13th, 2013 at 8:13pm

Geez Dave, you are really getting back to the basics now.
No power, isolated campsites, cooking with coals, mixing with the native animals. I'd bet London to a brick that you are doing those famous campfire leaps :D :D |

Title: Re: Our trip Limestone Coast SA Post by Chally on Nov 22nd, 2013 at 9:42pm
I like those Shingleback lizards. I have a quite a few photos of them from my trips out in Western Queensland.

That looks very relaxing under the shady trees.
Are you going to loosen the purse strings and venture over to Black Cockatoo? |

If your having trouble getting the pasties to brown try cracking the lid of the oven a little, only a guess but it should work.
