Derek, the reason some US residents speak so strongly in favour of Lodge is that they still make most their products in the United States. They also have a very strong world wide marketing outfit. Just you go to google UK and do a search for either Dutch oven or camp oven!!!!

I'm sure if you've been reading many sources carefully, you would see that those who look for the pot quality like the Camp Chef as well as the Lodge. How's about, you just do a bit of cooking comparison - the new Furphy, the new Lodge and the Camp Chef. OK!!!!

After all we have multinational markets these days. The cost of labour is higher in Oz, US, CA, UK...... than China, Taiwan, India...... Who can blame any company for watching the margins.

Cool

I actually think that they are all good. Cast iron is cast iron Grin

Might even swallow my pride and buy one of them new fandangled Furphys

Information from Camp Chef is that Anaconda will be stocking the deluxe range. This will be the ovens with this lid in the pic below. They come in 14,12,10 and 5" models so we will have to see what ones they bring out.

This is what I like about the lid. Has legs on it and makes a good deep frying pan. Great for pikelets and pancakes.

How deep are the Camp chef 12" Deep camp ovens. I reckon most camp ovens could be deeper. Don`t want the lid sitting on top of a roast.

Like scones (which you might call biscuits) they come with various recipes.
Almost the consistancy of ..... dare I say it..... McDonalds Hotcakes.

Served with Whipped Cream and Strawberry Jam usually for morning or afternoon tea.

My grandkids have something halfway between a pancake and a pikelet with
honey or maple syrup for breakfast.

In the "Mine's bigger than your's Category", I have a proper camp oven (with legs and dished lid) that is 12" wide and 10" deep, no makers name or markings. I call it my camp oven on steroids, I need steroids to help me carry it around.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd
