G'day Willy

Have a look at the Cabelas Website, I know its new gear but the price of their dutch ovens (Camp Chef with their own design on the lid)+ shipping is outstanding. A fair few of us on here have dealt with them and the service is top of the line.

Willy, have you tried google.uk?

I checked that more than a year ago, when I was trying to find out what older ovens looked like.

I also signed into a couple of rving forums and asked where to look. What I got in reply was a url for Lodge UK. I'd bet someone representing Camp Chef is over there now too.

& they said, no old ovens there because they were melted down for WWI and didn't come back into use much.

So, you may be stuck with new. Still, if they're either Camp Chef or Lodge they are good quality.

Cool

Willy my first CO and only one for many years was a cheap chinese one from a "Disposal Store". I suppose due to your climate you might not have as many camping stores as we do. You will read in a lot of the threads they work fine even though not as desirable as some of the antique and special ones a lot in here have collected. Good luck with your searches.

Carolyn, the Gulf Stream makes England warmer than Newfoundland. You have to get up to Scotland before you begin to get temperatures as cool as those in Newfoundland.

Having many more people, the UK will have many more camping stores. I can give you urls to 3 UK rving forums. What you call 'free camping' I've been told they call 'wild camping'.

UK is one the places I'm planning on visiting with an rv.

Lattitude London, England 51 32 N 0 5 W
Edinburgh, Scotland 55 55 N 3 10 W 5:00 p.m.
St John's AP (S) 47° 37' N 52° 45' W

Of course, the Labrador Current, a cold one, comes down by St. John's.

Not to cold here,just gets a bit wet at times,plenty of camping shops / stores about but no good ones near me..

Anyway...

Whilst looking on the internet for Dutch Ovens Cast Iron i came across a South African site called Biltong2u Ltd.
So i had a look and theres some nice cast iron pots ''Potjie Pot'' 2 styles 1 with a flat bottom and 1 that looks like a couldron with 3 legs.
They also sell a lot of other stuff,check it out...cheers......Willy http://www.biltong2u.co.uk
