Hi all, In this chilly weather I was contemplating how to make a warming roast when I don't have an oven in the MH - so I though I could take my cast iron dutch oven that takes about 3-4 litres, put a wire trivet in the bottom and then place the meat & veg on that and cook it on the stove top on a low heat.  Ditto with anything else that requires baking by placing a smaller heatproof dish inside on the trivet. Has anyone else tried this and what results did you get?

 yes  I have done this regularly , but not for a while now

I also used this idea to cook cakes  in the camp oven

You should have a successfull  bake  and or cook up.

We have used our camp oven on the gas cook top a few times when the weather keeps one in.

You will find it takes a little longer but the results are pretty good.

 

Always worth the try for some good chow.

Great to read here where you used the word "one" where most people would have wrote "you" 

The use of "one " is correct where as "you"  is not necessarly correct. 

I did notice the word "you" was used at the start of the second line.  ( not necessarily correct )

I do hope I am correct in mentioning this.

Does anyone else have a comment about the use of the "you " word in this context.

Please lets us not go into lessons of grammar, punctuation or the like.  So long as one can  get the drift all should become  self explanatory. Comments on others grammatical omissions can result in adverse reactions all round.

 This  was written as a general comment as to what is commonly written  . No way personal, I thought this was clear

I confess that I was expecting a fart joke (and someone dutifully obliged), so I had to look it up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven

According to Wikipedia, Dutch ovens "are called casserole dishes in English speaking countries other than the USA".

BTW, the biggest grammatical annoyance for me is to see old septuagenarians using the same kind of lowercase SMS-ese drivel as their pretentious adolescent grandchildren. In my day it was still fashionable to write legibly, to speak legibly, and to be able to perform simple arithmetic without reaching for an iThing. Nowadays you don't need any of these skills because literacy and numeracy have become unkewl. And this is at a time when everyone has a spellchecker at their fingertips, and when mobile phones have predictive text.

I nearly missed this thread because in our house 'Dutch oven' is outlawed from the bedroom. Camp oven, however is a different story. We don't have a stove in our house so we have cooked hundreds of roast dinners in the camp oven. No problem on a gas cooker but remember the outside of the camp oven will be just as hot as the inside so take care, especially indoors. I have not yet found a campsite that I couldn't sneak in some sort of fire as to cook a reasonably sized roast would use up a lot of gas. I don't use a trivot but turn very thing often to avoid burning on the bottom.
This photo shows my camp oven on a home made wood stove. Inside is a leg of home grown pork.
You could look at getting an ozpig or something similar to enjoy regular roast dinners.
