G'day Joshua,

The Southern Metal Spinners Camp Ovens are made of Heavy Gauge Spun Carbon Steel. Spun Steel refers to the way it was manufactured, they use a spinning process to make the shape of the camp ovens. 

Spun steel is extremely durable while lightweight, so even if it does get dropped and cop a dent, you’ll be able to beat it back into shape and use it again.

G'day Graham,

Unfortunately, these don't nest because the 10" camp oven doesn't fit inside the 12" at all.  It's too wide and the handles/handle brackets prevent it from sitting inside.
Even if it did fit, the internal height difference between the two sizes is only 1cm, so the 10" actually would end up sitting above the 12" rim.
Hope that makes sense.

G'day Pete,

If you cant decide between the two, I'd say go with the 12".  As you say, the overall size isn't that much different, but the slightly bigger 12" option will give you more potential flexibility down the line. 

G'day Mark,

I've just had a play with one of these for you and the handles aren't easily able to be removed. The lid handles can be folded flat on top of the lid so that the handles on the camp oven itself can be used to suspend the camp oven while the lid is on.

G'day Sybille,

You can certainly use the Aussie Camp Oven on the stove top and in the oven at home. 

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 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 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 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.
