Bought our Ozpig for the June school holidays.  We camped up at Deepwater National Park.  The campground does not permit campfires, but you can use your Ozpig.  It rained the whole week we were there and because of the flame arrester we  cooked  under the cover of the  annex.  Not only did we keep warm, the campoven meals we cooked were fantastic.  You can purchase extra chimney lengths, which would be perfect for taking the smoke away from the annex area.   A 20 kilo bag of kindling lasted a week .   The Ozpig defuser  is poorly made and won't last the distance.

Had our ozpig for a couple of years now and love it. The only thing I didn't notice till I bought it was that it is made in China.  :'( I see they have a couple more attachments now and a heat bead basket.  :cheers:

I love on the website video where he says it only weighs 17kgs so it is easy to carry around. Maybe for the first 50m!!! Lol.

Buy one, build one, either way they are good.

They are an economical way of having a camp fire, nothing beats a couple ute loads of hard wood and a good fire pit though :cheers:
