What tools do you use to handle the camp oven?

[carinya]

We've seen the $5 lid lifter type that comes with them, but do you have a tool or set of, that you like to use?

I use a pair of 500mm long hooks, chained together and have never had any worries so far.

The photos show them, and what they were doing last night in the yard on the way to eating a pork roast and veges.

I like that idea, could almost pull tent pegs with them too. (part of my Must have two uses or it stays home packing strategy)

Cheers Michael

I use a claw hammer just for the job. I can fit the claw through the lid and it's just right. Frostd has a couple of good ones. JK on here made one as well

I've got one of those ex army trench type shovels with the pick part at the back of the shovel. It works quite well. So far.

Welding gloves. Good for pulling baked potatoes out of coals, handling hot sticks, even welding!

I use a standard camp oven lifter, LH shovel and thick ar$ed riggers gloves. As mentioned tent pegs also make great lifters, I have also used an old wool bale hook as a lifter.

Tent peg puller serves two perposes

I have a tent peg welded onto a chipping hammer handle, disperses the heat and waorks well.  (Made when bored in the workshop one day).

I use fencing pliers on the lid and oven handle, not real good with baked potatoes though.

[Burnsy]

Nothing special, two tent pegs and a long handles shovel.  I am going to get some welding gloves though.

x2 for fencing pliers.  Like the ones in this pic but mine aren't as pretty.  Nothing like a tool that has multiple uses.  The hooked end for lifting the oven, and if it's unsteady for any reason, the camp oven handle fits perfectly into the closed jaws and will only come out if I let go.  Great camp tool.

Welding gloves and these , the U shaped one fits the camp oven lid so it doesn't tilt and drop coals into the oven .

The one at the top is the same looking as the ones we made at work.

[Blue Bravo]

I use a pair of multigrips

Toughen up, use your bare hands

The real question is - what do you use to pick up heat beads - eh, McGirr?

Thanks to JK , I now have the tools to get the roast lamb cooked . Love the camp over lifter, thanks. Also, now use the welding gloves. They stop becoming burnie cinders.

Ok ok.... it was dark and I was slightly pissed and the moon was shining and the stars were aligned the wrong way and yes I used my bare hands.

Did not feel a thing for 5 seconds and then thought gee this rock is bloody hot.

But was all good as no burns the cold beer can saved me

Sorry Mark didn't know that when I posted.


Guess we will have to label them now -  

'CAUTION these heat beads may get hot'

[jclures]

[GeeQue]

That the "Mair lid lifter"?  Good bit of gear!

This is what I have been using.
