Potential Stove Option

Hi NN The stove is the new BTi option. Paul told me that it is about the same cost as the Caprice. You need to call BTi for al other info. tgintl/jay

Jay, Thanks for that info, we will take it up with BTi when we visit next week to finalize our plans. Cheers Ian and Robin

Ladies, Anything to do with a man's stomach is a worthy cause for a serious discussion ! [smile] We (BTguys) want the best possible apparatus for our lovely girls to cook up a storm !! [margaretFultonGrin] Dont worry about outdoor cooking so much, a quick wink and a nod and we'll jump to the task ....

What is wrong with the guys cooking some of the time? I enjoy cooking when I have the time.

Anthony, a quick wink and a nudge and some men are more likely to jump to conclusions. LOL. And David, nothing wrong with men cooking. My hubby is a very good cook (right arm experimental - a little of this, a little of that). The main thing is that they are also willing to clean up after themselves. Angie

From the pics the stove looks like the Swift brand which Kedron are now using & was mentioned in the latest Caravan World. Cheers Darryl

Just a bit of thread hijacking here...but along similar lines.....does anyone else think that the oven should have had a heat vent to the outside? I find that our Tracker gets filled withthe smell of very warm wood every time we open a drawer or cupboard near or next to the oven. This kind of worries me...how hot can the surrounding wood get before there is a potential for fire? Apart from that, the oven/stove is a little ripper having passed the acid test yesterday with me......it produced a very nice sponge cake! Cheers from Jan O

Jan, The wood will be ok ! Its not a fire hazard. My BT did this when new and still gets the timber warm around the sink and drawers but the timber has given up its woody fire smell. The timber or benchtop has not warped or anything in over 2 years so it should be right ! I intend placing some extra insulation around the oven area to stop this happening and to get more heat to stay in oven. I'm having trouble finding a suitable material at a fair price that is virtually fireproof. Last material I looked at was for wrapping exhaust pipes on racecars. It didnt come in a large piece only a 50mm wide wrap and was dear to cover a large area. Next I looked at fire blankets but most are now fibreglass. Although they wont support combustion they will melt if near a flame for too long ...personal experience with that one !!! I used our good fireblanket from house to keep heat away from something I was welding ...woops melted it !! Boss was not happy ! I'm trying to find original insulation that is around stove now and just add a layer or two. Grab a torch and have a gander around oven to see original insulation. Stay tuned ...

Hi BTi is putting insulation on the three enclosed sides of my stove. You might inquire of Tracy what is being used. tgintl/jay

Anthony, Perhaps you can have it done during "new skin" visit. tgintl/jay

Food for thought there Jay. I'll place that idea in the oven and see if it cooks. Although I'm very busy and might have to put it on the backburner for this week. No use getting all steamed up about it just yet but will grill Tracy about it when the chance rises .... he's probably all embroiled with work also ! Should have enough dough left over to do the mod ! [smile] Anthony Explore this Great Land ...Do it Easy ...Tow a Bushtracker

Anthony "Wood" be interested with what you come up with. I'm sure you have a "burning" ambition to get this right, but be sure that when you "grill" Tracy, you don't "fan force" anything so that the discussion wont get "heated". (All puns intended smile ) A little more heat in the oven for baking would be beneficial. Regards Jeff

No worries Jeff ! Now that the idea has been "baked" I'll leave it cool a bit so Tracy doesnt get all "burnt" up about it ... "convectively" speaking. The heat in the oven certainly isnt "latent" ...just late !! More insulation will have me all "aglow" with a "radiant" outlook when making pizzas. Placing the insulation in could be a "recipe" for disaster and requires all the "skillet" a guy can muster. The right person for the job would be "rare" but then the result will be "medium to well done". Hopefully the idea wont "stove" in and it will all "pan" out !

Guys The idea has been "cooked" enough; keep this up and it will be "over done". tgintl/jay

Ok..Ok...no need to get hot under the collar about all this.....chill out people..
