Got a phone call today from a bloke wanting to sell a camp oven.
Asked what it was......"A 20 inch Carron he said" Shocked

How much is he gunna want for this was my first thought ...can I afford it Sad

Went to have a look at it and got a very pleasant supprise.....he was happy to sell for $250

Should be a good oven to cook in plenty of depth (almost 7 1/2 inches deep) and legs a bit over 3 inches.....plenty of room for coals / heatbeads
Photos below........more to come soon when I get the old girl cleaned up

Nelson I couldnt believe my ears when he said $250.....I was expecting much more than that. And your right ....I dont think there are many Carrons that size around.

Well that doesn't apply to me SBB, I see people leaving when I arrive as I only have one topic of conversation lol
Nice find, I am green.

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