Coals on top or not

[threedogs]

Seems a few or one nameless person that reckons you don't put coals on top of a Camp Oven.
We cooked a double roast using this method, roasting a leg of lamb and a pork rolled loin. personally I would have put coals on top we didn't and roast was faultless. We are talking roast here NOT STEW. If Mods could put one of those polls on this that would be great. Me I'm a Coals On Top {COT} kind of guy. We shall see oh nameless one lol

Personally always put coals on top. No different in my opinion than a normal oven with top and bottom element.

We put coals top and bottom not to far from the fire

OK I will declare my Hand.

I am a NCOT (No Coals on Top) LOL

This was brought about by a Drunken Bum of a Mate who decided to check on my Camp Oven (which had Coals on Top) and spilt the coals into the Camp Oven.
I was not that impressed and have never put Coals on Top again (As I have quite a few Drunken Mates)

As Threedogs stated not having Coals on Top did not affect the Roast we had . In fact it was brilliant.

COT definately, BUT, used some malley once and it was too hot so ended up with NCOT and the crackling on the pork was to die for, mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmm.

x 2 with Bob, happy to confess I am not a coal on top bloke...lol

Exact same story as Bob's except I was the drunken bum who spilt the coals into the pot...Never coals on top ever again and my roasts are to die for...LMAO!!!....Yummo!

I'm not a camp oven man myself, but was always told coals on top. For a roast I will ALWAYS use my Auspit for roasting, rolled pork, side of beef, whole chicken. I think it's the fun of watching it cook, smelling it cook and salivating as it cooks.


Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience. Y2K

I dig a hole right beside the fire , deep enough for about 6-8" of caols. and half the camp oven. you than don`t need Coals on top in case of well you know!!!!!!!!!!

Sober = COT, Drunk = NCOT works everytime
