Cheap cast aluminium dutch oven

[heath]

I found a shop that sells these dutch ovens at a pretty good price.

http://www.malikstores.co.uk/product_details.php?item_id=841

If I remember correctly I think the smaller one was about £16 and the bigger one £20. They don't have a bail handle (don't know if it's possible to drill them) and I've never used an aluminium one so I can't reccomend them. The weblink is for reference for the pot, I can get them cheaper than this. I might get one and try it and review it. But if people are interested i might be able to sort them out and maybe I'll be able to do a group buy.

Just thought I'd gauge interest and see if anyone has experience with this type of pot.

Hate to be a killjoy but the price for the large one is £32.50 plus £7 for delivery.
Does make it a bit dearer

I have an aluminum dutch oven from a company called GSI, but it's anodized rather than just bare metal. Don't know if it's comparable, but it works well. As far as inexpensive goes, you usually get what you pay for. "Buy quality and only cry once."

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain clearly. The weblink is only as a reference for what the pot looks like. I can get the exact same pots for the cheaper price that I stated.

Cast Ali should drill quite easy, so retro-fitting a bail arm won't be too hard for anyone whos done basic metalwork (like school level )

What kind on money are we talking about?

About £16 for the small one and £20 for the big one.

Rice and peas with a goat curry and fried dumpling comes to mind

No idea to be honest, I've never sent anything like this, but they're not particularly heavy.
I think I'll pick one up for myself this weekend and test it out. I'll post some more details when I have them.

Sorry I didn't get a chance but it's definately on the cards, and I'll have a chance to try it out properly in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted. I'll send you a PM if you want when I get it to save you keep coming back to this thread.

I picked one of these up last night. I got the big one for £18.95. They also do the small one for 16.95. Hopefully I'll get to try it out this weekend and I'll do a review.
