Buy Camp Ovens - 4 Things You Should Look For
May 29, 2009 Uncategorized
A good camp oven can be a big factor between a great meal when camping, or having to eat somehting that is burnt, undercooked or takes forever to be ready to eat. Here at buycampinggearonline.com.au we sell Hillbilly Camping Gear camp ovens because they are Australian made, Australian designed and are ideally suited for the aussie bush.
We have used Hillbilly camp ovens for years when camping with out family, as well as catering for friends in our backyard and are surprised time and time again by the results that these spun steel camp ovens produce.
They are light weight, easy to clean and need little heat to cook a roast, damper or casserole.
When buying a new camp oven there are a number of things that you should look out for
1. Weight - The weight of a camp oven effects how easy it is to cart around, as well as how big a campfire you need to make in order to cook with it. There are advantages to the older, heavy weight ovens, as well as the more modern designs like the BushKing and the BusRanger
2. Ease Of Cleaning - Old cast iron camp ovens or dutch ovens are hard to clean due to the rough surface created during the casting process. The newer spun steel surfaces are naturally non stick once they are seasoned in, and easy to wipe out. This makes the hygiene of these ovens far superior to the old designs.
3. Versatility - With new design features, there are now ovens out there that can be easily hung from a cooking stand, or have a lid that can be used as a frypan. Look closely at all of the features available before making your decision.
4. Gas Convertable ? - While you can place a cast iron pot over the heat from a gas burner, it generally takes a while to get hot, and heating from the top (a better way to cook roasts and damper, like in your convection oven at home) is impossible with the lid design of a traditional oven. A Hillbilly oven has a custom made gas attachment, allowing you to cook where a campfire is not possible.
Buy keeping the above factors in mind, you will make the right decision when buying your next oven, and be looking forward to a nice hot roast in the great outdoors before you know it !
