Thanks for all your links, tips and pics. Such a lovely golden colour on the turkey? . I had never heard of a Potjie Pot before, but I think I may have seen photos pf them before. Will check out those links.

I liked the Lamb shanks poikie pot demo, and the SA accent!
Potjie Pots are available in AU from several internet stores. and sometimes on ebay, make sure to buy South African made not Chinese if buying one.

I have roasted lamb shanks in the oven - they're really delicious. Must have a look at a poikie pot next time I'm in a camping shop. I can't justify buying one wth the amount of camp oven cooking I do, which is none at the moment, but they sound interesting.

Just went into your link about using coals - are they talking about heat beads there? It says, for example, moderate oven, use 11 'coals' on top and 5 (I think) underneath.

It is American lingo, we have Heat Beads, they have charcoal briquettes referred to variously as 'charcoal' and 'coals'.

I finally got to watch the video link. Shame that he used lamb shanks. Diced beef could be substituted though I guess. It looked easy enough, but he didn't say much about the coals. Just that he wanted less there to cook the meat. Was that for the whole cooking time?

Cant add to more than was in the video Romy, I will add another which may help.
South Africans tend to have the main fire to the side of the pot, as the Potjie is very efficient, and just add coals as required under the pot.
Don't forget to click on the Calculate button, as well as the bottom line.
Cheers,

Hi Sheba - long time, no speak. Will have a look.
How good is that! Love it, and I didn't have to press the calculate button at all. It did it automatically, Sheba. Not sure why you're in colour though.

We just love this YouTube by Carolyn and have to play it now and again.

A dutch oven makes campfire cooking easy! This video, the second of a series of 3, demonstrates some basic 1-pot meals: chicken stew, beef stew and a pot of beans.

Swiped this from another Forum. Thought it might come in handy, seeing we're into Camp Oven cooking here at the moment.
