I know it depends on the size of the chicken, but just trying to get an idea of the right size to buy....would a whole chicken fit in this size oven and have enough room for a trivet?

G'day Gavin,
A small chicken would fit in here snugly, however, a family sized chicken would not. We would suggest going up to the 9 Quart for a larger bird.

can you use it on a induction hot plate?

G'day Ray,
Generally, Cast Iron is known to be compatible with induction cooktops. This oven has a smooth base, so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Does the 2qt fit inside the 4.5qt camp oven for space saving storage
Renee - Broken Hill(4 years ago)
G'day Renee,
We've tried this one out before and can confirm that the 2Q will fit inside the 4.5Q however the lid won't quite fit back on top. We'd recommend ensuring you pop some padding, like tea towels or similar between the ovens when stacked, just to ensure any rattling doesn't crack the cast iron.

Trying to work out what I can fit in it?1 answer
What are the internal dimensions and how much height is left if using the trivet?
Bob - Tamworth(4 years ago)
Hi Bob, I've got some dimensions here for you.
Internally these are 24cm in diameter at the top and this tapers down to 21cm diameter at the base. Total height is 9.5 cm without a trivet or steamer rack. The trivet measures 1cm in height giving you 8.5cm, and the steamer rack is 1.5cm high leaving you 8cm of height.
Hopefully, this gives you all the info you need.

Sigma Set inside?1 answer
Does the Sea-to-Summit Sigma 2 piece pot set fit inside this with the lid on? I'm not sure if the 12cm height for this camp oven is internal or external.
Sam - Melbourne(5 years ago)
G'day Sam,
I've tried the Sea to Summit Sigma 2.2 Cookset and unfortunately, it sits too high in the Camp Oven for the lid to then fit.

Trivet?1 answer
Dear Leece,
I'm not sure what I can bake or coke in the iron oven. I have never used it before. So if I want to bake pizza or bread in this oven but on stove and not in fire do I need for the Trivet to avoid the burning of the bottom of the pastry? I'm not sure if I can bake with this iron oven on stove at all.
I want to use this iton oven for cooking and baking but I haven't got coil bbq. I have only an outside stove.
Thanks
Julie - Cairns (7 years ago)
G'day Julie,
I reckon you've made a great assumption there, I would use a trivet in the Campfire Cast Iron Camp Oven 4.5 Quart if I was trying to bake in it.

G'day Lindy,
I've just had a good look at one of the Campfire Cast Iron Camp Oven 4.5 Quarts that we've got down on the shop floor. Based on my own eating habits and portion sizes (I eat like a pig), I reckon you'll be safe with one of these for your 3 person roast with veggies.

4.5 quart in a 9 quart1 answer
Just wondering if the 4.5 quart camp oven fits inside the 9 quart camp oven to take up less space? Cheers
Tom - Brisbane(7 years ago)
G'day Tom,
We wish it did, but unfortunately, the tab which the handle attaches to and the handle itself prevent the 4.5qt from fitting inside the 9qt Campfire Cast Iron Camp Oven.
