Folks a question for the Victorian members, all I seem to be able to buy is a 12 inch CIO, where in Vic does one get bigger than a 12. Cheesy

Excuse the pun but I have a 12 inch Shocked

and I want bigger.

Bigger isnt always better ......its what you do with it that counts......or so Im told.

There is a Camping shop in Echuca(main street) that carry a large range of CO try them. Billmans in Castlemaine have the best and Aussie made also. I brought two 15" Chinese made CO's with legs last year and both are good ovens.

Hi Michael

That really surprises me. Just about every camping store that sells camp ovens up here has the 15" camp ovens. Both the round and the oval ones.

Not sure if you are near an Anaconda Store but they have a Camp Chef in 14". Photo below. We had several of these at the Hedlow COG

Check here for their store locations http://www.anaconda.com.au/StoreLocations.aspx

Billmans. (Aussie Made is hard to beat.) I love my two. I think they will post anything upto a 15", The 18" are huge and far too heavy for Aust. post. $35 extra Gets you a custom lid. Ya can't beat em.

Thats what I would be doing.

BTW - Nothin wrong with the Camp Chef ovens either. I have the full set and use them the most. (Probably cause I can replace em cheap)

JMHO

Wow, that is a nice little line up of CI, Isaak's with the name and curved date is the one that takes my fancy.
jono, I agree with your advice to Michaelb, spend the extra $$ and get a custom 15 or 18 from Billmans, well worth it.

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

I've got the 12" & 14" from anaconda.
Great oven..comes pre-seasoned and is very easy to maintain.
clean it right after you finish cooking and a light lick of oil before you put it away,
Probably done 10 meals in it...including stews.
Look new still.
