Great series of restoration videos. 👍 Kmart / Coles / Woolies / Spotlight etc have refillable oil sprayers. Work well and way more cost effective and you can add your preferred oil type.
The ACOF 2024 Cooking Competition brings a new Camp Oven into my collection - time to get seasoning. Thanks Mate for another wonderful lesson on the care of our Camp Ovens. See you in October.
Just tried this with a new supposedly pre-seasoned camp oven on a gas BBQ - Wow!!! bottom of the pot is now like glass. Can't wait to start cooking in it 👍
Yeah mate, the pre seasoned thing is designed to stop it rusting before it sells and leaves the shop. After that they couldnt care less. You shouild always season a new one and ignore the preseason coat. Cheers
Some really good tips there Ron. I saw one vid that said to go to 480f for an hour, then turn the oven off and repeat it the following day fo four days. Seemed a little to involved for my liking but seemed to work.
lol, I reckon that would just burn off the oil completely if you actually did it that way. I can do an oven an hour and with my new electrolysis set up I can go from rusty to fully seasoned in 6 hours
Hey Ron, You see a lot of people sanding the inside of there cast iron smooth with sand paper before seasoning. Is there any advantage to that as far as a slicker surface after seasoning? And does it help with the non stick surface for cooking on? Great series of videos on restoration and seasoning.
Hi Ron, I have a 15 inch and an18 inch to do, unfortunately I don’t have an oven big enough, can you do the seasoning in the open over a fire ? Cheers Peter
All my ovens were done over the fire years ago. A hot fire and mutton fat actually. I will do one on a video later in the year when I get a chance. Cheers
@@campovenkinghe has some camp ovens that are very nice not many people have one yet. yeah he’s a good friend of mine. Yeah not many people know about outlaw castings but his work is fantastic. And yes he’s located in Ballarat
@Philipk65 I meant celcius and always thought it was. Now I'm not so sure lol. I will check on the oven. 250 c doesn't sound hot enough as you can cook food at that temp.

As my old man used to say, "looks just like a bought one!"

I know a camp ovens that you will not have outlaw casting. They are made in Ballarat and they are fantastic.
Not sure what you mean there? Are you saying there is a foundry named "Outlaw Casting"? in Ballarat? If so, ive not heard of them.

@@2tonnerman855 Thats interesting, thanks for letting me know.
400 d F or C?
450 celcius is the target temperature
@@campovenking 450 Celsius? I think you mean Fahrenheit. Very few ovens go to that Ron. Most kitchen ovens max out at 250c which is 482f
@Philipk65 I meant celcius and always thought it was. Now I'm not so sure lol. I will check on the oven. 250 c doesn't sound hot enough as you can cook food at that temp.
@@campovenking I did 250c on my Weber and I felt that through the welding gloves. By the way 480f is 250c.
@@campovenking I do believe that pizza ovens can get near that hot though.
