Can eat it very occasionally, all three of my kids have worked there at one stage or another so I do know it's pot luck .
25+ smart head hunter old Nephew guarding the block back home, probably cooking up a treat on my deck with my Philstars ripper oven the prick!! Makes a bloke wanna work harder to head back home :-) !!
Him and his mates would wanna be hiding down the deepest darkest shaft in the joint if that is the case Plassy mate!
Another super successful weekend Pizza cook up for the family at home tonight thanks @PeeBee Phil mate! Just had a thought whilst cleaning up how to potentially save at least 50% heat beads per 'home-use' cookup. As per last posts I have been using my old BBQ as a heat proof stand for your oven out on the deck when home. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/162.jpg I'm thinking now that for 'home-use' again reckon the base coal tray may not be needed to save on beads. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/163.jpg Next Pizza cook up I'll try placing it straight on top of the open BBQ gas grill direct and only utilise coals on top for the smoker plate taste sensation :-) http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...017/05/164.jpg

Interested to see how this works Mark , have not tried it. Would allow you good control of temperature, just unsure of what the gas will deliver in an 'open environment' to the box. The coal heat up to around 350Deg C.
That is a fair point mate, the Pizzas bases do 'pop' very well as is with heat beads and even better with redgum coals straight off the open paddock donk party fire good man :-)
At it again with your oven Phil @PeeBee mate!
Today's challenge is a 1.7kg Beef Brisket.

It will initially receive a Jamacan Rum, Coke, Brown Sugar Injection and Caramelisation process whilst sitting atop of Garlic & Onions.

Once that's all evaporated off going to do a second run of Hickory smoking.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2017/07/8.jpg
Stocked up at Bunnings with 30kg of bargain beads and months worth of smoking chips too.

Your Pizza Spatula works great on holding the foil trays stiff whilst loading up the oven mate!

Going to be a late dinner tonight but should work well we hope :-) !

1 hour into it found I'd hit 190degrees so backing it down by removing some top beads for now and back to 150ish.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/11.jpg
Would have burnt its top off if it wasn't for the extra smoker tray diffusing some radiant heat!

Well done Mark, you are perhaps the most prolific user of this oven, with maybe @Clunk coming in a close second it seems! Does pay to stock up on the smoker chips as they are becoming more difficult to source for reasons unknown - certainly straight Hickory seems almost non existent.
Good to know mate, can't let Clunkstar beat me! I ended with a couple of 'blended' 900g chip boxes for different challenges.

The new Bunnings in Lilydale main street also had 'Samba' brand again of pure Hickory chips in 1kg bags for the same price if you need to stock up mate! ($8.99 all I think a bargain)

1.5hours into it now and holding 150 degrees well. Had its third quick rotation/flip, looking alrighty.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/13.jpg
Would have preferred starting earlier this morning and slow cooking at say 100ish but should still be ok!

2hours for its 4th and final flip. Whole peeled Yams going in now too.

Sure are mate, always use the Pizza Stone below my foil tray roasts, works a treat! Haven't touched the full base coals since starting at 3:00pm, only removed 50% of top coals and repositioned remaining like this:

Just added the previously removed top coals back on the center now to give the final round of smoking chips for the Yams a bit of a quick Zap!

It's only jumped to 155 so thinking the layer of wood is an added radiant heat block too until they're disintergrated.

*drool* reminds me of the brisket I had at an American BBQ place the other week
Hey Phil do you have any rough guidelines of cooking a simple roast in the big pot? We just cooked a leg of lamb in the kitchen oven, would be nice to try in the oven but have no experience with this kind of cooking.
I've got some chicken drum sticks to cook and might try slow-smoking them next weekend

Winnie, 1.5kg lamb roast and 1.5kg of chunk Vegas will take between 75 and 90 minutes from past efforts, but depends on how much heat you whack into the top tray. The bottom tray is given as totally covered in either heat beads or coals. I think around a dozen heat beads on top would do you to deliver a moist roast without burning
Oh I think MB has fast become the guru with this camp oven. We had it going again tonight cooking up some pizzas while camoing with friends down in Dwellingup, have bought a nice chunk of port, so will be having a go at roasting that in the oven at some point durimg the bext few days. Need to buy a thermometer for it though as I've no idea on temps
Good work mate, looking forward to some pics also. Definitely invest in a good couple of thermometers, one for oven temps and a probe for occasional meat temp tests. Been trying to track down a high temp range Pizza oven one like this as a lot only start at +100. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/34.jpg
Reckon drilling a small hole below the side handle should work to keep it external. My current one sits inside and is a bit annoying in the way and needs regular scrubbing off smoke and juices. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/35.jpg
Phil made a good point about the glass possibly breaking inside and landing atop of kids Pizzas unnoticed too, ouch !

Good idea but drill the hole in the corner of the rear wall no more than 30mm from the corner and just lower than the smoker tray. This will allow the probe to clear the pizza and flipper. I bought some small and short temp probes from a cooking utensil shop in Knox city, 4 for $10 from memory. Accuracy probably not good but and indicator. I have them in the truck somewhere so will post up a shot of it plus the recommended location. Good idea for sure MB
Great idea, yes pics please. Also just realised it must go in the corner of the box as the big round pot would not allow it where it near touches the center walls! I think you mean here below is best mate? http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/39.jpg

First time today using the big pot Phil. Decided to not waste last nights Brisket juices and crank up a soup for tonight. Starting off by hot smoking 250 degrees some cheap Beef bones.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/45.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/46.jpg
The pot seems great for this, almost like pressure cooking for smokey bone soup stock to follow.

In goes last nights leftover 500ml of Brisket juices and another 5.5L of water beef stock from cubes. (Preboiled the water as to not warp the 250degree hot spun steel pot)

Here's a quick picture of the great lid system with wood chips tray that gets sandwiched underneath the coal top folks.

And finally in goes 1kg of Spuds, one Turnip, one Leek, 500g bag of Garden Peas and I'll let the coals completely burn out ready warm for dinner tonight!

Ooh, and the Onions & Garlic went in towards the end of hot smoking the bones earlier.

Cheers Chrisso mate! Just for reference on your oven adventures, when the inside box is around 200C a 'full' pot of liquid will boil 'moderately' with around a dozen coals on top. I am now removing a redgum chunk off the top top as it was starting to overboil!
EDIT: Scrap that above, had to remove 'all' coals now off the top.
EDIT 2: I'm thinking that the bones have finally reached 100C much like Plasnart's Youtube 'Primitive Technology' bloke uses hot rocks to boil water in clay pots! Have now put a 20mm stick under the lid to let some heat out as it was increasing in boil rate going off its head! (Finally simmering now)
OK, couple of pics and a back flip as well!
The hole in the side of the oven does not work because the head of the thermometer is too heavy and it tips up and would rest against the hot tray, so drill a hole in the rear corner so the probe sits approx 20mm off the wall. the probe length then can be up to 200mm long from memory, so plenty of options regards finding one. Keep the head or dial away from the hot coals, but you can always simply remove the probe when replenishing the coals on top.
The probe i have used is one from BBQ galore from memory and it has both temps and also cook tenderness bands for different meats. The probe is approx 125mm long and dial 45mm diameter.
The smaller ones are for direct placement into the meat and have a 25mm head and 50mm prong. I used these for the venison at the camp oven cook off and they worked a treat.
The hole i have drilled in the side of the oven will be welded up when I get a chance.
Thanks guys for the continual upgrade advice and suggestions. It all helps to make this even better as a cooking device.Attachment 72359Attachment 72360Attachment 72361Attachment 72362
Not too bad at all mate, probably too many Spuds though, went a big thick after mashing.
Ok first time using the oven to roast something....... Nice bit of pork, didn't get the timing right for the potatoes, so didn't quite crisp up enough.
Will definitely be practising more.... Second photo are left overs for when I get the munchies later
