I have found that linning your dutch oven with foil makes it much easier to clean. This dutch oven is the 8ltr size which is perfect for cooking roast it’s deeper. Available from our web site here

Cook for about 1hr then chuck in a load of new potatoes these will cook in the port and meat juices. Cook for another half hour or so.

And there you have it, succulent lamb roasted to perfection! This dish is seriously tasty, the lamb just falls apart and great served with the new potatos, caramelized onions and gravy juice. YUM YUM

Last year I borrowed a Kelly Kettle from a friend to give a test run. It was one of those things that I wanted to try but really didn’t want to buy at the time… Well we tested it out and used it quite a few times and really really liked it. We used it in areas where we didn’t want to start a camp fire and most of the time we had our kids with us and the kettle was quick and easy…it was also really cool.
I decided I wanted to stock some type of kettle and finally got around to doing some research on them. I ran across the Ghillie Kettles that I have never heard of, they looked identical to the Kelly Kettles but had a cap with a whistle instead of a cork. This made a lot of sense to me so I emailed them for some info.
It turned out that these were made in the same factory that makes the other British kettles on the market, and that the Ghillie was the only kettle to have a cap with a whistle.
The Kelly Kettle I had borrowed was the large model and I really wanted to try the small one to see how it does..

These are the three models Ghillie makes.

As of right now I have only used the small model several times and really like it! Its a little larger than a 2 liter bottle and light enough to carry in a day pack easily …here is how they work..

I had to add a few floats under the base as it was sinking down into the snow..Putting it on a small base of sticks makes having a small fire quick and easy even in deep snow. When you have good dry fuel these will boil water in 3-5 minutes. You will hear the whistle and see the steam coming out of the cap when you reach a boil..this seems to be safer and more efficient than other kettles. Lift the kettle off the base as shown so you don’t burn yourself!

 Tea Time!!

Pour the kettle with the loop handle and the chain. This smaller size does two large mugs, I get a good 24-26oz. of water per boil.

We currently have all 3 sized Ghillie Kettles in stock starting from £36.99 here

While airgun technology may be advancing at a rate of knots, pellet design has remained static for decades.. Until now. These Thunder Bolt pellets push the boundaries of airgun pellet design and are set to create a storm. Thanks to the Thunder Bolt pellet’s unorthodox shape, unique skirt design & high-tech base material, these latest Thunder Bolt pellets shoot at extremely high velocities. Coupled with its super flat trajectory, it both impacts the target with maximum strike force & then penetrates much more deeply, making it ideal for pest control. With so many plus points the Thunder bolt is destined to make a big impact on the airgun scene. Initial test results in spring powered airguns are proving quite exceptional.

Available in snap shut tubs with 400 pellets in each for £9.99 at Ronnie Sunshines

Pancakes in a Dutch oven? Yes, you read that right… almost. You don’t make
them in the Dutch Oven, you make them on the lid. In addition to seasoning your
oven with oil, you should be seasoning the underside of the lid. Flip the lid
over, rest it on a bed of charcoal with some pieces of wood at the side to
stabilize it, and voilà, you have a griddle for making pancakes, French toast,
scrambled eggs, etc.

Last night I tuned into the second episode of Jamie’s American Roadtrip, In which Jamie steps into the Wild West states of Wyoming and Montana to find out what life as a cowboy is really like. What thrilled me was that throughout the program he cooked in Dutch Ovens or (Cowboy Ovens) as they’re sometimes referred to.  He cooks for proper cowboys, the proper cowboy way, over an open fire using dutch ovens. Jamie said “when they had good ingredients the actual styles of cooking they used – like slow cooking in dutch ovens over open fire or spit roasting – would have given the food they did cook amazing flavours and textures.” Jamie spent his time at a rodeo in Cody, before heading upstate into the mountains to try and cut it on a working cattle ranch. He then rides out into the wilderness and even sleeps rough under the stars!

If you missed the episode you can watch it again online on the CH4 website Here
