Travel Buddy: How to cook

[@ProudMary53]

Great video Phil. You had my mouth watering when you were cutting up that roast. I too am thinking about getting one of those ovens.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Most people think you can only heat up pies and sausage rolls in these ovens. Anything you cook in your oven at home can be cooked in one of these.

[@fyiaustralia9686]

Phil, you've sold me on the Travel Buddy. It'd be perfect for cooking small meals and cakes while I'm camping. Thanks for your review!

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

You're welcome.

[@davidlovell4390]

Nice job , looks bloody beautiful!

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

[@ford811]

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Glad to help👍

[@patheg95]

Great vid! Keen to get a travel buddy asap! Love that its Aussie made too!

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks.

[@mrkanangra]

You are the best Phil, keep it up I love you mate!

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks, will do!

[@chrissythom5296]

Hi there, great video - i too have a travel buddy and just purchased a bluetooth meat thermometer similar to yours. please can you explain again how you extend the bluetooth range by piggy backing two devices?

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

It's been a long time since I set this up, Have to recall how I set this up.

[@chrissythom5296]

@@PhilsCampingReviews I have tried and can not get it to piggyback onto a second device :(

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

@@chrissythom5296 I own a samsung tablet that I've setup as the main unit. from there I've connected my 2nd unit to read of the main tablet. How I done that is a good question. I set mine up like that over a year ago. I will go over the settings and see if I can figure out what I done.

[@eds4wdcamping]

When you are cooking did you have the battery charger on the Car ? Good to see that you look after Mum.😀

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Yes, I had my electric battery charger on in the car charging my Deep cycle battery, mainly to get the voltage up over 13 volts. While your driving, no issues there, In saying this, there is no reason why you can't cook without a charger connected to your deep cycle battery, I just like as much heat as possible so it don't take so long to cook. At camp if I want to cook quick, I have my solar panel connected to keep the voltage up.

[@RevLimitHero]

Great video mate, real quality effort.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks 👍.

[@allanjones4283]

Found your channel by accident, wrapped I did. Thankkyou for your video. As a suggestion, we use oven bags, easier to clean up ;-)

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Hi. Thanks. I don't have a lot of success with oven bags.

[@jackturtle131]

Mate you make me hungry Looking good Phillip

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

You need to go see Dan & Steph, say hello to them from me and get some of that Rub they sell.

[@1971anaconda]

I love my travel buddy and yes you can cook anything in them 👍

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

You got that right!

[@RoamingOz]

Hey mate I notice you put the smw tray straight on the heating element, would you normally do this with every roast in the oven, I assume it would cook way nicer then being on the rack, I got the same tray and have had trouble cooking roast well in it

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

I place the included grate on the floor of the travel buddy than place the tray on it. You need to keep the voltage up to get good heat for cooking a roast. Good idea to keep your solar panel connected while cooking to keep the voltage up

[@RoamingOz]

I do run a step up converter which gives me a constant 14v

[@captainbabossa2628]

@@RoamingOz yes step up are good, I use on too😃

[@stephenashe2160]

Great video mate, keep em coming

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks 👍

[@bemused_66]

Thanks for posting Phil. Where did you get your baking tray, it seems like a perfect fit for the oven.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

From Melbourne. I think there called sommerville or something like that. They have a online store.

[@darrenmcpherson4777]

G’day Phil is that the large travel buddy and who is the manufacturer or where did get yours? Cheers👍🏻

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Yes, that's the large Travel buddy marine oven. I purchased mine locally from the TJM 4x4 Store. I heard there very hard to get now, unless you purchase online direct from the manufacturer in Melbourne. www.12-24voltovens.com.au/

[@Mr105.]

You've got all the good toys Phil. What do you do for a living?

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Work hard

[@TheDreadedChef]

Mate your looking good! Great video too!

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Hey, thanks!

[@marcdenton2996]

Interesting. A hot beef roast, potatoes & cold beer after a long day of overlanding. I’m thinking of the tasty possibilities.👍

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Sounds great! I've done this a few times now.

[@scottselmes3308]

Great video pal.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks for the visit

[@iggie1439]

G-Day Phil, MMMMMMMMMMM you really made it so real I can smell it from here. Pity, I have a Toyota Troopy and I am short on space. I used to have an oven that fitted inside the engine bay and it was good for pies but I don't think it would do a roast. Some one come up with an engine oven near the hottest point and you will sell millions.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

there are many times I’ve had to also leave this behind because of lack of space.

[@damiengunston9816]

Awesome vid enjoyed heaps cant wait to do my ist roast

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

damien gunston Thanks👍

[@humptywaspushed3562]

Maybe you could check out some KZbin videos on how to cut up a roast but yes impressive little oven 👌

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Most important thing is it made it to a plate and tasted great

[@pierrefourie7]

Phil you’re an absolute champion, great result with the beef. Mate where is the butcher and what was the blue tooth thermometer, both are first class

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

The thermometer is called Meater. Coles supermarket, where I live the pork roast in particular is tops.

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Bloody yum mate ! 👍 Good clip buddy and great to see the travel buddy is Aussie made, not like that generic rip off copy they’re bringing in from China 😡 Aussie all the way mate 🇦🇺👍👍

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

You got that right!

[@aj-kwt909truckin31]

Good old Aussie tucker 🇦🇺 🇭🇲 🇭🇲

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

So true

[@greghammond7956]

Good video Phil but you're putting out the wrong info mate, Travel Buddy is made in Bendigo, my home town, not Melbourne! We're in Central Vic, long way from Melbourne, us Bendigonians are very proud of the Travel Buddy story, saying they're made in Melbourne is like saying Drifta is made in Sydney, if ya know what I mean 👍

[@4WheelingInNSW]

I guess if someone says Drifta is Made in Sydney though, it gives a general idea of where Drifta is nationally .... Either way, the main and best thing is that it’s Aussie made and not Chinese like that other brand that copied them. 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks for the info. I never been down that way.

[@greghammond7956]

4 Wheeling In NSW absolutely mate, couldn’t agree more 👍🇦🇺

[@greghammond7956]

Phillip Damiano no worries mate, really enjoying your channel, keep up the good work 👍

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Greg Hammond yeah there’s too much imported crap coming out of China unfortunately

[@stephenrogers9664]

Yum Looks nice

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Thanks

[@allanpower8041]

What impact does running the oven for a couple of hours have on the battery?

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

20 amps. Takes 20 amps out of battery. Works out at 10 amps per hour

[@mrkanangra]

A;lso Phil why did you get rid of Frifta draws for your own, VS just ask Beechy to make you what you want?.....

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Sold because they are not suitable for me anymore. Nothing wrong with the draws just to large. I needed the room for my new setup. Decided to make my own. I wanted draws that extended fully.

[@haroldtatow852]

Yummy 🤤

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

It was very yummy if I recall.

[@mrkanangra]

In all honesty Phil, I reckon you have spent more on all your gear and gadgets that the cost of your Pajero.... Please....get yourself an 80 Series or a 79 etc...and do a Brett Hooker.....

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Nah, that will cost a lot more.
