Imagine bringing the tastes and smells of camp oven cooking to your summer camping adventures. Sound pretty good huh?<\/p>\n

But the\u00a0Fire bans in national parks<\/a><\/strong> mean the simple pleasures of staring into the mesmerising campfire flames, toasting\u00a0marshmallows, and in particular camp oven cooking, have to be left to the cooler months.<\/p>\n

And rightly so, a campfire cooked meal is hardly worth our wilderness being burnt to a crisp let alone risking the lives of other users in the park, including all the wildlife.<\/p>\n

The solution to this dilemma?<\/h2>\n

So when summer rolls around, what can you do instead? The\u00a0Camp Oven Mate<\/a> from Southern Metal Spinners is the accessory you need to fulfil your summer camping dreams, and to help you get the most out of your camp oven.<\/p>\n

What size camp ovens can you use it with?<\/h2>\n

Specifically designed for use with a gas ring burner and up to 9 Qt camp ovens<\/a><\/strong>, the Camp Oven Mate safely enables you to whip all the camp oven goodies you have perfected during the winter season without a single ember, coal or heat bead in sight.<\/p>\n

\"Southern<\/p>\n

The Camp Oven Mate comes as a flat-pack for easy transportation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

How does the Camp Oven Mate work?<\/h2>\n

It has four curved side sections that slot together and support a grille on which your camp oven will sit. Under that is where the gas burner resides.<\/p>\n

A convex (or is that concave) lid on the top has a central hole. Once the gas is lit creates a flow of hot air around the sides of the camp oven, down onto the camp oven lid, then up and out the top.<\/p>\n

It even protects the gas burner and camp oven from the wind so your meals cook evenly every time. And it keeps flames contained making it safe for fire ban season – ingenious!<\/p>\n

\"Cast<\/p>\n

The Cast Iron Boys use and recommend the Camp Oven\u00a0Mate.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Does it make camp oven cooking easier?<\/h2>\n

The Camp Oven Mate actually makes camp oven cooking even easier than ever before. You don’t need to get a fire started. You don’t have to worry about ash in your food. Your cooking gear stays soot free, and it packs away flat for easy transport!<\/p>\n

Made here in Australia and available at Snowys<\/a><\/strong>, the Camp Oven Mate should be a staple item for any gourmet camp oven chef.<\/p>\n
