Are you looking to take your camp oven recipes to the next level? Bedourie Camp Ovens, the Australian-made Camp Oven from Southern Metal Spinners is hands down the go-to item to cook your favourite camp oven recipes while out 4WDing.

Bedourie Camp Ovens are manufactured from heavy gauge carbon spun steel, with a lid that fits over the top, eliminating any chance of coals or ashes making their way into your food. One advantage of the Bedourie Camp oven is the lid also doubles as a frying pan.

Originally designed for the Bedourie Station, cast iron camp ovens often fell off the pack horses, when dropped cast iron ovens often brake, not what you want when out camping. Spun steel camp ovens are much lighter and more robust than their cast iron oven counterparts making them perfect to throw in the back of the 4WD.

Features:

• 10in Heavy Gauge Spun Carbon Steel
• Australian Made
• Cooks just like a cast iron camp oven
• Lighter than a cast iron camp oven
• Requires seasoning before use

Weight Saving

A 10in Bedourie Camp Oven weighs in at only 2.8KG, typically a third lighter than a similar-sized Cast Iron Camp Oven. Being lighter it’s a fantastic way to save a few kilos in your cooking kit.

Strength

Bedourie Camp Ovens are stronger than cast iron camp ovens, they won’t crack or break if dropped. Perfect to throw in the back of the 4WD or rattling around in the camper trailer. Made from a thinner material than a cast iron camp oven, they won’t hold heat as well, you’ll need to take some extra care when cooking, more coals should be added to the top of the camp oven and allow the heat to dissipate downwards.

 

Easy to clean

Bedourie Camp Ovens are very easy to use, maintain and keep clean. Your camp oven is probably going to spend a good chunk of its life in the fire, so don't worry too much about the outside of your camp oven inside is where it counts. At the end of the day, you cook on the inside of it and that's what you need to keep clean. After you’ve cooked simply clean the inside as best you can, if you’ve got some stubborn bits, fill your camp oven with some water and throw it back on the fire to a simmer, empty the water get a cloth there wash it down. When finished though make sure it’s completely dry, chuck it back on the fire if you need to. If you leave any water inside your camp oven it's gonna create rust and next time you go to use it, it won't be so nice and clean. Once dry get a bit of oil Chuck a little bit of oil straight into the camp oven you don’t need much just a little bit with a cloth or a bit of paper towel, rub that oil all around the inside, including the lid. Doing that will protect your camp oven against any rust or anything like that and when you go to use it next time it'll be in absolutely mint condition.
