18 bucks should be about it, I recon?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No light to indicate that the unit is operating
-Opens from halfway up revealing two aluminium 'trays' which means when the unit is closed half the height is wasted when cooking because liquids will spill out particularly when it is sitting in a moving vehicle but also when it's stationary because it doesn't have a steam vent on the top of the unit steam will escape from halfway up and condense and run down onto the floor of the vehicle#
=>#Can be put in a tray or bucket on the floor of vehicle to prevent spillages#
-Unit can be irreparably damaged if the power goes out when it is hot and contains liquid because of rubber seal which creates a vacuum and will deform the 'trays' inward#
=> Cutting a small vent in the rubber seal will prevent vacuum damage
-'trays' #aluminium base and top# cannot be removed
-round shape causes it to roll around the floor of the vehicle when moving if not properly secured#
=>Can be secured from rolling by packing other items around it or attaching with Velcro to a flat sheet on the floor or even by suspending from the handle
-120 Watt 10 Amp takes about 30 minutes to heat to cooking temperature
=> #care must be taken to ensure vehicle electrics are not damaged if used in conjunction with other devices exceeding the vehicles power socket capacity and its a good idea to have spare fuses for the cigarette lighter circuit if you plan to use with other devices#
Even given the limitations above its wonderful and liberating to cook on the go and not have to rely on the vagaries of shops along the way and you get to choose what hot foo d you eat.

l have 1 & it can do party pies in 30 mins from frozen . Last nights left overs ( if any ) in a foil tray put on 20 mins before lunch . At $18 how far wrong can you go :cup: :cheers:Exactly what i thought even after reading that review on Dick.
Post by: kizza1 on April 29, 2015, 08:43:06 PM
It sure beats warming your food up on the exhaust manifold.
couple of tips. Firstly piss the cig plug off and put alligator clips on or you will end up melting it as they draw a bit of power.
Secondly if your heating sausage rolls and the like, dont wrap more than one layer of alfoil around them as each layer slows the heating process considerably.
Post by: AdrianLR on April 29, 2015, 08:51:10 PM
A loosely crumpled layer of foil on the bottom stops the bases of pies going hard.
Hot dogs in a foil tray with lid and a bit of water work well.
We could start a 12V oven gourmet thread

What's the difference between these and Travel Buddys (apart from the price :angel:)?
Travel Buddy cooks better, crispy not soggy, although with the price difference it would be hard to justify the TB. That said I have the TB and it is awesome.
TB also uses 6-7A so less than the cheaper ovens. It is designed to work off a car's accessory socket.

I use it in the tractor when busy at certain times of the year.
SWMBO puts leftover wet type food (curries, spaghetti bog etc etc) into the single serve aluminium takeaway containers and freezes them.
A curry or similar takes about 45 minutes from turning the oven on to being ready to eat.
I put the food into a cold oven and turn it on, don't bother preheating it.
Sausage rolls, pies etc...... About 35 minutes from start to finish.
For 18 bucks ya can't go wrong. :cup:

It's a piece of powder coated aluminium gutter guard I've got a 50 m roll in the shed,does the jobLooks good! Does it slow the heating process down much? I find that they seem to work best when the item is in contact with the oven's surface. If I put 4 pies in the top two are still cold while the bottom two are good and hot.... even with two pies I turn them over half way through the heating process

70 is pretty hot and you can get heaps of temp units
For $15 you could use one of these?

Even though we were cool the pies and sausage rolls were HOT
Worked a treat

Pulled it apart, fitted a heap more insulation and digital thermostat
Set at around 70 deg, defrosted pie hot in around 30 min
On around 20-30% of the time
Awesome for cold worksites and travelling last few weeks

Got minejr, what sort of insulation did you use, what thermostat did you fit and where did you find it?

Because its on thermostat and will max temp be ~ 80 deg, plenty of things could be used.
Without temp control could go to over 100 deg so I claim its way safer too
Pic - Looks like standard with 50mm x20mm square box on side
Thermo control - I used this one

I'd give it 2 hours if they're frozen.

Insulation I used rockwool -had a spare broken slab from hydroponics, had to cut it up and fit up sides etc. Looks identical to stuff fitted.

Just wondering where you located the temp probe?

Post by: jr on July 24, 2015, 08:54:52 AM
Just above pie height
Its measuring air temp near centre seal I guess
Had to make sure the wiring inc sensor wire was on outside of insulation
For anything your heating up, make sure its over 60 deg or you could get crook.
The thermostat and oven has hysteresis issue, setpoint at 65 sees temps range between 60 and 75.

Its on a lead, drilled small hole in corner of lower section, with grommet (tiny fiddly ^&%#W thing) and it sits suspended into lower section

Hi All I know this is an older thread but just wondered if anyone else has had their 12v oven from dick smith stop working. Ours stopped on the last trip lino6 did and we have not been able to get it working again. He has tried other fuses any other ideas? It has only beem used half a dozen times.have you checked the wiring connections inside the 12v plug? Sometimes the solder on the connections is not that solid and I've had the wires break off in there and once resoldered, all works fine.....

I agree, you should try this first!
But actually I have checked right back to the element and seems to be intact. The element doesn't seem to be heating up. Perhaps it shouldn't sit in the back of a super powerful Rodeo with half a tonne of firewood in the back??....

I agree, you should try this first!maybe it now needs an external heat source?

Modified butane burner maybe? Make it a gas oven?
Reckon it'll be better to buy a new one

Ever thought of getting an ozpig? Don't need 6B&S or fuses on them.....so I'm told
I have, but don't want to cut a hole in the roof of the DMax for the chimney

If you can find one in a Dick Smith store, they're down to $14.95.

I have a receipt for one purchased in the past 12 months in an email as it was an on line order. Yours if you want it.
