Aussie Camp Oven

G'day Ken,

That's a tricky one to measure mate as the oven has a lip on it.  The lip is 5mm thick and we reckon the body of the oven would be about 2mm, with the trivet being 1mm.  Cheers :)

G'day Paul,

I've just given this a quick whirl myself to confirm your theory. I did manage to get the 12" Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven into the Oztrail 9Qt Bag. I did have a few hassles with the handles getting caught on the edges and did need to massage it a little to get it in but once it was in the bag, it fit nicely. 

G'day Natalie,

I've just given this a whirl with our display models. The 10" Bedourie Oven fit inside the 10" Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven but there wasn't room for the lid too. It fit both the oven and the lid inside the 12" though. 

G'day Peter,

I reckon you've made some pretty good observations on both the Hillybilly and the Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven. I think it all comes down to which of the two suit your needs better. If you season your oven really well, then you won't need to worry so much about the nonstick properties of the oven, as you'll be able to create that for yourself. 

G'day Linda,

You're bang on there. The 10" version of the Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven has a 10" base and pushes out to about 11" at the top. 

G'day Brook,

I just had a try with the Hillbilly Vegetable Rings that we stock and unfortunately, neither of them fit the Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Ovens. 

G'day Brook, 

There isn't a camp oven bag that we have that will fit the 12" size Aussie Camp Oven perfectly without being hard to do up or slightly too loose. 

From testing the sizes in store, I would say that a 12-quart size bag would be the best option though there will be some excess around the sides. I hope this helps Brook! 

G'day Damon,

Without the lid, the 10" Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven is about 155mm high, whilst the 12" option is about 165mm high. 

G'day JD,

You can use your Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Oven on a gas cooker, just be wary of the heat levels. The Aussie Metal Spinners range is designed for slow flames from a fire and tends to heat very quickly. Without being careful, you might burn your lunch! 

G'day Chris, 

I've just had a look at the Southern Metal Spinners Aussie Camp Ovens on our shop floor. The 12" would feed about 8 people, I'd say, and measures 30.5 x 16 cm internally. The 10" would feed about 6 people and measures 27.5 x 14 cm internally. 

G'day Nikki,

Unfortunately, there is no perfect fit, the 4.5qt bag is a tight fit, however, I'd recommend the 9qt which will ensure you easily have enough room.

G'day Jason,

I'm not 100% about which grill you are referring to. Can you send me a link to the product so I can be sure about my advice?

G'day Jason,

No worries. Unfortunately the Aussie Camp Oven 12" is 30cm, so the 31cm frying pan won't fit.

G'day Steve and Vik, 

Firstly, I just want to say we're so pleased that you're loving your Camp Oven so far, it's always good to hear that our customers are enjoying their gear!

Secondly, I've just tested a few of our accessories out in store and I found that the small and large Hillbilly Vegetable Rings weren't a good fit for the 12" size Aussie Camp Oven unfortunately. 

A method that some of our customers use it to use a rack in their camp oven, and place the meat in the middle and the veggies on the side. Primus make a 9 Qt size rack that is a good fit for the 12" Aussie Camp Oven - so that's an option you guys might want to consider. 

It will Burt, the Camp Oven Mate we have is 36cm in diameter, while the 12" Dr Livingstone's measures 32cm diameter. There are two sizes in the Camp Oven Mate, Large and Jumbo, and we sell the Large version which is designed for 12" camp ovens.

G'day Damian, 

I've just had a go of this myself in store, and I found that the 10" doesn't fit in the 12" Oven, as the handles and lid stick out too much.
