Thanks for follow up info Ben. 4.5 qt camp oven, gloves and lid lifter promptly arrive at usual best price and postage. Might try boiling water in the new pre seasoned camp oven. With say a couple of table spoons of bi carb soda added, to commission. Instructions that came with a steel wok once. Also have the 9qt spun steel and even same silver coloured scourer. So looks like definitely reading same page, ha ha. Cant wait to try 4.5qt out on my deck with two ring gas burner underneath and heat beads on top....cheers
