A square camp oven is far from a fair description John...
Many more ways to cook and way more benefits then a round camp oven.
Easy side access door for loading, unloading, flipping and turning food, checking food, fry pan, deep pot which can all be taken away from the main unit, safe COT, much larger cooking area for both oven and pot, better packing in vehicle and a smoking accessory for the extra win!!!
This bloke has thought a lot about this!

@Winnie as suggested figure out a small mob you go away with all the time say 6
and divide the cost $$$$$$, will only work if you are realitively close by.
@AB wasnt being mean I just saw a side entry camp oven, I can now see it does heaps
more.
TBH Im happy with my ovens but if this can be used during a fire ban then Cudu's I say
Whenever I get to go away again Ill be going back in time and use my 1850s ovens and
or chicken fryer lol lol

ThreeDogs,
thanks for the comments, but I must clear up something straight away - this CANNOT be used on a day of total fire ban. It uses either coals or briquettes and isn't recommended to use indoors. It can be used in a garage with care I guess, however its not intended for that location. Its a fire fueled device.

you'll need to come up with some proven recipes like "Dream pot" did
I scraped and saved till I finally was able to buy a full size "Dream pot"
at the 4x4 show at Jeffs shed in Melb at a discounted price,, to this
day Ive still not used it for a meal, that was be back in about '94, lol

I deliberately didn't go this route because there are dozens of campfire cooking books out there and heaps of great dishes - just didn't seem logical to re-invent the wheel. Mind you, seeing MB's pulled pork creation was an eye opener as I had cooked pork before but not like that - but I will be!
Threedogs might be onto something though Phil.
The Cobb has It's own cookbook and for a newbie they are very hard to get to the right temp for different meals.
Definitely worth a thought about how much coals for how long for X type of meat, etc and get on the website.
Just make up 5-10 recipes with how long cooking times, amount of coals roughly, on top or not, etc.
