Yes yes the trivet has no flavour unless you Ironman LOL . Jokes aside this is a great post and thank you for sharing. Simplicity at its best for the food of kings. Take care and God Bless.
If I’m out camping I do my veggies in a camp oven as well. With potatoes done wrapped in foil and put in the coals 👍 and for gravy I use some of juices and Maggi rich gravy mix it’s the bomb a bit hard to find I get it from Campbells👍
Scoot, you’ve outdone yaself here and I can never resist a slice while slicing...!! I’ve never cooked in a camp 🏕 oven above ground like these with the beads as usually like fire ‘n coals on/ underground ... nothing better than these slow cooked meals while camping innit?!
Scooterfox next time we go camping I will be lugging a backpack full of lamb legs up any mountain we may come across whilst towing the camp oven behind me . . . .my mouth was totally watering !
This is what makes it like the oven in your kitchen. The lid heats through contact and acts like a heating element so that the heat radiates from the lid down. You can bake anything in it, bread, cakes or whatever and adapt any recipe. You can find a formula online (Lodge has one) for number of beads below vs beads above to get the right temperature if you know the diameter of your camp oven. If you have the right amount of liquid then you can treat it like a pot roast on the stove (so don't need coals on the lid) but for baking you need the heat on top or you will put too many on the bottom and burn your food
