Hi all

Mrs Bear purchased a camp oven 6 weeks ago and it is seasoned ready to go!

Mr and Mrs Bear have not actually tasted anything cooked in a camp oven yet, but I have been drooling over the pictures on this forum!!! Smiley

Never heard of using heat beads before but this could certainly be an option.

Planning to have a back up just in case we can't eat the 1st meal! Smiley

Great forum!

Barb and Brian

Greetings from way uphere, almost completely opposite you all on the planet. At the moment you are 12 1/2 hours ahead of us on the calendar.

Now, I'm going to stick in a picture of Poddy Dodger's set up before he had the Camp Oven Mate.

As you can see he used old license plates for a wind guard and charcoal briquettes* with a metal plate between the charcoal and the patio bricks. It certainly is very much in the Keep It Simple mode.

Of course, it's pretty clear PD doesn't have arthritis to notice too. Me, I do, and I spent a whopping $20.00 on a BBQ table at our Canadian Tire store. I don't have to bend over.

What to do first. Yes, any kind of meat and veggies are good.

Re. other cast iron. Well, my favourite is a 10' frying pan. I use a lid with that and cook with it almost every day.

Just go cook.

* When you all call them heat beads, it's like calling a camera a Kodak.

Welcome Two Bears. I guess most of us seem to cook in the CO as much at home as away.

When the MOTH is not in a co-operative mood about which gas connec tions to use I find the beads easy to manage. If you can find yourself a bead chimney this helps to heat them up quicker. Not essential though.

I still feel I have my L's on and using trivets seems to help me not burn stuff.

Great to have more females posting, although we have a long way to go to challenge the males in here, they do some amazing stuff.

If you can get to see them in action it would take you a giant step along the way. I have learnt something at the couple of shows I have seen.
