I would not use in the tent unless it is very well ventilated.  Poisionous fumes come off the heat beads / charcoal and people have been reported to not wake up after bringing their BBQ's into their tents to keep warm

Prices are on the link provided previously at the foot of the article, plus links etc to the manufacturers website where you can order from

I really want one, but we can't really afford it. Although even following both those links above I don't understand how much it will cost with the accessories as the links were just to the review? Sorry if I am being thick here
Use it to cook with but after that DO NOT use for central heating.
Take the coals out of the Cobb with a pair of tongs coll down in cold water. Let dry and use again.

I can't find the link but a couple who brought the Cobb into their tent were hospitalised, one was in a worse state than the other and almost died.

I think I'm convinced lol

I'd like to think it was a combination of people's comments that swayed me, but, if I'm honest, it was the roast pork sandwiches lol

Think I'd better start smoking so I can give it up and have spare cash lol

Convince me my tenting life needs a Cobb

Convince me my tenting life doesn't need a Cobb.

  Wouldn't be without it now it's a great cooking tool.

Hi Ratty, This link on the Cobb Premier page is not working.

""Check out here for more great deals on the Cobb Premier""

It just links us through to Caravan Insurance.

Home Bargain stores sell a cobblestone-like product that works brilliantly in a Cobb - £1.99 for 5.
