Well I managed to use one in the chiminea and it looked quite pretty. Finally got it going but took a good half hour. Put some kindling on the top and it did a good job of lighting it. This will be my use for these I think as work out quite cheap and ok for marshmallows! A change from the bargain crackle logs HB had sold out of.......

It cooked brilliantly; the moat was full of potatoes and on top were 7 chicken breasts, four corn-on-the-cob, a bunch of asparagus and four part-baked bread rolls.
I actually thought they smelt more natural and less of the chemical-type smell that other products seem to have.
Incidently, after cooking that lot the brick was still red hot and glowing and could probably have cooked for 2 and a half hours all together.

 

idetika, I would love to know how you managed to squeeze so much onto your cobb!





I've got an Cobb extension ring and just pile it high

Is it just my impression or are Cobbs super senstive to fuel? There seem to be reguar posts about were to get certain briquettes, heatbeads, Lokkii etc And often in the post people never managed to cook their meal and resorted to putting it in the oven at the end due to the heat output of their chosen fuel.  I dont have a Cobb and quite frankly reading posts on here just put me right off. I have a Webber go anywhere kettle bbq and never had an issue with it not cooking or the right type of charcoal, I just get some from the supermarket. I also understand that you dont really get the BBQ smokey taste from the Cobb. Isnt there an argument to go for the gas version although more expensive a lot easier and convienent??

I've never had a Cobb failure, in fact the Cobb was worth it's weight in gold when our regulator failed on our gas stove on the Outer Hebrides.
Each to their own; we do a lot of very basic camping and love the idea of 'back to basics' camping.
Whilst I love a bbq as much as the next person, I also love a roast dinner with all the trimmings cooked on a Cobb on a campsite (and the envious looks from other campers)!
The Cobb is not a bbq, it's more like an oven. I think there is a place for both and I personally love the versatility of the Cobb.
