    Hey Evo, looking back at your camp oven roast, is that big cloves of purple garlic or quartered beetroot bulbs?
    Either of them would be good.

    sorry Obi i didnt see your post - yes theyr quartered beetroot, along with spuds, sweet potatoes, carrots & a blade roast !
    was gonna do another but weather is sketchy next couple of days - ha, i then also realised we dont have any roasts left in the freezer anyways.....so stock up at the butchers next week
    we also quite often crank up our lunch over the fire grill with steak, chicken or snaggers...simple stuff but never tire of that magic taste of campfire cooking & the relaxation sitting around a fire brings

    Thanks for clearing that up. Roast beetroot is great, as long as you don't freak out about bowel cancer at the first shit afterwards.
    And yeah, I love camp-fire cooking too, any open fire cooking. Miss the old Crown woodstove I put in my first house at Obi, and the real old griddle pan I had hanging in the fire place.
    I've got a few of the usual cast iron ovens but this is my travelling one, a spun steel Bedourie style one. Fits in the old saddlebags for the Sporty, and in the Vic bagger ones. It's been a lot of places.

    wow thats next level stuff - i thought jeez need good saddle bags to carry, but then i recognised those old Kazzmazz - do they even make those wonderful heavy duty bags anymore???... we just have the 9 quart cast iron great size for roasts that last for days in leftovers....learnt to do pizzas and some stews as well, but by no means guns at it.....crikey, open fire place in lounge -  i miss that....cant even fit smallest of woodstoves in our lil cottage here - hence i guess another reason we set up our little campfire outside  - plenty room under the stars...sometimes break out the 8" Dobsonian same time to enjoy those stars on clear nights.....we are indeed lucky when one looks at all that shit news happening overseas eh....

    Yeah, those KazzMazz bags are good, heavy gauge leather with a plastic liner in them to keep the shape. I've had them for about 30 years, occasionally have to stich part of a seam. And KazzMazz seems to have folded, their Web site has disappeared. Anyone in WA know any different?
    So if they're gone, I'd be OK about taking a pattern from the bags for you.
    The spun steel camp ovens aren't heavy though, they were originally made to be carried in a drovers pack saddle for a droving team that wasnt using a bun cart. You don't carry them empty though, I'll carry the flour bag, rolled oats, cooking oil, powdered milk, rice, and when I was killing my own beef and salting some of it into traditional salt beef that keeps for a month at room temp there would be a chunk of that in there too. 
    The 8 inch Dobsonian sounds great, I left a 4" reflector behind when my girl and I rode north from Melbourne on a couple of bikes in 1975, never replaced it. And now they're trying to get Obi Obi recognised as a dark sky area.
