How To Cook Camp Oven Roast Chicken ?

In this video, i will show you how to cook camp oven roast chicken with veggies.
The flavours that a camp oven roast chicken provide, is so tasty. Those flavours from a camp oven roast chicken, cant be replicated in your conventional oven at home.
I really enjoy camp oven cooking, and we have been using them in Australia for many years.
The roast chicken that i have cooked in the camp oven tasted amazing.
The flavours that went through the meat while cooking, due to the onion, garlic and herbs that i placed inside the roast chicken, were amazing.
Combine those flavours with the camp oven flavours and it makes for a very tasty camp oven roast chicken.
The veggies that i roasted were also seasoned with garlic and herbs before going into the camp oven for cooking.
After two hours of cooking in the camp oven in my back yard fit pit, i was left with a very nice meal.
Cooking in a camp oven on the campfire, takes so time to get it right.
But, once you do, its a fantastic way of cooking meals while you are out camping with your family, or on your own.

[@tommiesteyn3520]

@@timbates4wdadventures Hi Tim yes I do. The biggest differences I can think of is the lid does not have as much space for coals as a camp oven, the pot bottom is roundish and not flat so you have to keep in mind that all the liquid is concentrated in the bottom. (a small grid can be used if you want to keep your roast out of the sauce) Another difference is that managing coals under the pot is somewhat different. If I want to up the heat a little bit I add a few coals with a pair of thongs or just move some coals away to reduce the heat. Cheers Tom

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@tommiesteyn3520 Gday Tom Sounds like an interesting way of cooking mate. I do use a trivet in the bottom of my camp oven, that works well to stop the meal burning and helps to get heat flow under what’s being cooked. Thanks a lot for replying back about how you use your pot. Cheers Tim

Gday mate, Thanks for dropping in from Sweden. I also use what we call a trivet in the bottom of my camp oven. It does help to keep what you’re cooking off the bottom and not burning it. Very interesting way you will be using your new pot inside your tent. I’ve never tried cooking without coals on the lid.

what kind of wood do you use in your back yard?

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Darren, Its been wood i have brought home from past camp trips. Provides a good coal base thats for sure. Cheers Tim.

[@SuperDudley88]

Hi would anybody be able to tell me what I can place the coals in underneath the pot. I am cooking in my garden so do not want the coals on my lawn ( have young children.) I am gonna purchase a pot & tripod. I know it's seems a bit stupid asking this question but I live in England & nobody I know cooks This way. Thank you.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday You’d probably need some kind of metal drum that you could put the coals in and the put the tripod over the top and hang you pot from that. Hope that helps some what. Thanks for dropping in from England. Cheers Tim

[@bzakie2]

Tim that’s not ‘some’ potatoes, that’s ONE potato cut into four pieces. Not enough even for one person!

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Jon Gday mate, One spud cut is enough for me, with everything else I had going on. Cheers Tim

[@bzakie2]

Tim Bates 4wd Adventures Haha! Sure. Great vid mate.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Jon Thanks mate. Camp oven cook ups are the best.

[@user-rr1xh3fk2d]

how many acres you live on timmie

[@johnpalmer6822]

oil the outside of your oven

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day John, Why mate? Cheers Tim.

[@johnpalmer6822]

In my area the rust on the outside would be even greater if we didn’t season the outside also. I guess I was thought that in Boy Scouts as a lad. So I just do it. Same with my cast iron skillets. Wash with hot water scrape out stuck on bits with wooden tools or stick. Then oil or lard rub it in till you can’t remove anymore oil back off, while pan/pot is still warm from the hot water. Inside and out. Place paper towel between lid and pot to allow some air to circulate. Then store.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@johnpalmer6822 Are you near the ocean I’m guessing? Some great tips on how you clean your cast iron cooking gear. I’ve just not worried about the outsides. Thanks for your reply mate. I appreciate it. Cheers Tim.

[@johnpalmer6822]

Tim Bates 4wd Adventures not near an ocean. In rust belt of Illinois. We get high humidity in our area. In summer we may have 90* f+ with 95% humidity. Car frames don’t last long if not washed regularly from salt used on our roads in winter.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@johnpalmer6822 Ahh over in the States. That’s harsh climate conditions alright. Thanks for your reply.

Too pink still?

[@tarlnobert8033]

Why didn't you just make a gravy instead of pouring that nasty garbage all over that awesome looking meal?

[@timbates4wdadventures]

We all live and learn mate. I don’t do that anymore and haven’t done for a long time Cheers Tim.
