Pyrolux PYROCAST Camp Oven

The Pyrolux PYROCAST Camp Oven is a pre-seasoned cast iron cooker made for slow-cooked meals over a campfire or grill. Available in 25cm/3.5L and 31cm/7.3L sizes, it covers smaller camp meals through to larger dishes for families and groups.

The flanged lid can hold hot coals above the food, helping heat reach the pot from both directions. A close-fitting design keeps heat and moisture inside during slow cooking, while the spiral carry handle provides a lifting point when moving the camp oven with suitable heat protection.
