#1 – A camp oven
The most important item is a camp oven! Camp ovens are very affordable and are available from most camping stores. I often get asked “what brand of camp oven should I buy?”
My answer – There is too much focus nowadays on brands, however in reality all brands available at any camping store is pretty much the same only real difference is the branding on the lid.
My recommendation:
A Campfire brand camp oven, they are good quality, come pre-seasoned and are available in a few different sizing options.
Camping stores I recommend:

My recommendation:
Now you can use any long handle shovel to get coals, but if you love cool gadgets this portable HardKorr shovel is awesome, it breaks down to a portable size perfect for travelling.
Camping stores I recommend:
