If your search for knowledge surrounds the secrets of the holy camp oven, you'll have to attend one of Ricks weekenders for a complete tutorial and spiritual awakening.

This weekend workshop concludes with the great camp oven cook-off, where exponents of the art travel from miles around to compete in what can only be described as...........THE MEATFEST FROM MANTOWN!

I met a bloke travelling a couple of years ago who proudly showed me his choofer. a 9kg safely de-gassed gas bottle cut and drilled to make a cooker which holds a 10" camp oven perfectly.

at least 6 or more have been replicated since my camping buddies have seen it in action.

versatility, cooking over coals



there is plenty of info on camp oven cooking here.

so.... calling me a tight-arse shagging ????

guess what........ you are 100% correct

Smart man,beats trying to get the oven on the coals of a dirty big fire and getting your eyebrows singed off in the process,everyone wants to put more wood on when your cooking as well.
