Camp Oven Cooking Tips

[Gnomes aka Mrs Mudrunner]

For Bread
1. Ingredients must be kept warm but not too hot or cold otherwise the yeast will be destroyed.
Yeast is a living organism. The warmth allows it to "work".
2. Too much kneading will cause split crusts.
3. Too little kneading causes holes in the loaf.
4. Too much salt will result in slow rising of the dough.
5. Too little salt will result in the loaf rising too quickly and forming holes in the loaf.
6. Too much yeast and the loaf will have a strong taste.
7. Too little yeast results in a slow rising loaf and a tough one.

Cooking Temperatures - Open Fires
1. If the hand can be held about 18 inches over hot embers for a fast count of 5, the temp is
about 180.C
2. Butter will burn at a little over 150.C
3. Milk will boil at approx 90.C - Boiling point will decrease as the altitude increases
4. Water will boil (at Sea level) - 100.C. Increased altitude that decreases .
5. Fat will burn at temps about 232.C and over. It will start to smoke slightly around the 190.C.

More as they come!!

Yeah we always cook a few loaves at camp, even have the proper bread tins,, much better than damper. heres our Egg, bacon and mushroom PIE.

This is my homemade camp oven weighs 32KG but the best oven ever, made from 3/8th x 16" water pipe

[threedogs]

Don't make bread on windy or cold days, let it prove in the back of your 4b. heres our roasts with all the fixings. Mushroom and garlic gravy
more than welcome to come camping. Wait till you see our Paella

Had a paella in Pamploma and thought whats this shizen, now if they had plated yours...........

[threedogs]

Paella was a bit over the top compared to normal camps. Always try to out do the last meal.
usually talk like the Clampetts at camp lol. varmits and viddles with all the fixings. Just ordered a new camp oven for next camp
but as most know I'm back to surgeon tomorrow to have some implants removed, then I need to wait again to have them implanted permanently
Anyway back to camp, Make all my own cooking and camp fire grills ,everything realy, not a TA but like making stuff to last

[zd30elgrande]

That's an awesome setup.

A friend of mine who shall remane nameless, but his initials are RON MOON has one of the greatest camp cook books going around, his loverly wife Viv
is a gem around a campfire. Also great tips or storage etc. If you think you know everythng read this you may be astounded what you don't know. Great read
throw it in your tucker box and watch there faces as yoy produce meals liks that egg and bacon PIE.
Viv would have to be one of the best bush cooks going around, no doubt great in a kitchen too

just welded up an awesome camp over lid lifter, hope you got pics big fella, works a treat first go which is a good sign, but cant get pics on here as now have new galaxy phone,

[The BigFella]

my grand dad had one of those old Galaxy's, Ford side valve from memory,,,,,,,,,,,,

[threedogs]

Private and confidential post, my proto type worked the first time, This one is large as it need to be for my big camp oven.
This works a treat, I'm wrapt so any feed back would be great.
To say I'm happy with this design is underststment, will be spring loaded. I can hold it side ways, gotta be a winner.
will be down sizing for production ones.
If you want one PM me

[threedogs]

Bumped: been working on this lid lifter Ive welded a lug onto the lid of my horse over a camp oven, conclusion is easy to use.
Production will be smaller and laser cut. I
ll powder coat them bright yellow
No idea of pricing yet as I need to wait for shops to open again

[Drewboyaus]

That is a bloody good idea!
Nice one.
