  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes, chopped

  2. Mix the butter &
  3. flour with your finger tips, then add crumbled fetta to the flour mixture.
  4. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes(reserving 6) along with the olives.
  5. Make a well in the centre of the mixture andadd the curdled milk.
  6. Fold everything through with a knife - do notover work. The damper should be sticky to touch or you may need to add a little extra milk.
  7. Place the dough on a floured board andsprinkle enough extra flour on top to help shapethe damper - lightly push the reserved sundriedtomatoes on top.
  8. Place on a trivet in a hot camp oven.
  9. For the last 10 minutes of cooking, place hotcoals or hot heat beads on top of the camp ovento finish the cooking process.

TIP

  1. When baking, place a trivet or cake rack inside your camp oven. This allows the heat to circulate and helps to avoid burning during cooking.

Great bit of kit

We have the ozpig series 2 under a patio. Only just bought the house and the pig so we haven't got it in a specific final spot just yet. But having these extra offset and pieces helps keep smell and smoke (not that there is much using nice ironbark) definitely recommend this kit for use under a patio. Plus fast and easy postage made buying them easy as. 5 Stars

Series 2 - a genuine belter!

Series 2 - a genuine belter! Loving my series 2! During my "burning in" tests it really does belt out some heat, one of the primary reasons for the purchase. Guaging heat, I've cooked a couple of hamburgers and some stove top coffee all with great success. My only suggestion is when you've finally decided to treat yourself to a piggy, super treat yourself and get as many of the accessories as you want at the same time. You'll want to use em and I guarantee you'll go back and buy them anyway. No sell, thats a fact, so go the full hog! (thats a pun) Great service, fast post and I'm genuinely looking forward to the colder weather kicking in.

Exactly what I was looking for

- I was looking for something wood-fired and portable that I could take anywhere to boil water and cook a meal on and that could also be my home BBQ. The Pig is simpler and safer than a camp fire and a great back-up at home if everything goes down. I’ve only done BBQs so far and I’m enjoying the added wood-smoke taste. Looking forward to cooking more sophisticated meals down the track.

Big pig - loving it

We love our big pig . It’s so beautiful to sit around having the large opening and we are loving the smoker having started making beef jerky . We had a baby pig but this one is hands down the best
