We used ours over the mayday b/h and discovered that the moat leaks as we were to cook some baby charlottes in stock which drained out the bottom of the cobb. We don't use the moat much so it no big problem but obviously the heat from the fire has affected the welding somewhere inside.

Can you explaine some more.You mean the metal moat as in where round the sids of the brick basket?

Its leaking out of the moat area ie if you put liquid in it runs out of the bottom of the Cobb. I think the leak is where the inner ash tray is joined (welded) to the moat bowl. I guess the heat has caused expansion/contraction of the metal and created a split or hole.   

 

That is good news. I also had cause to speak to Cobb recently not for any fault i may add but was impressed by the attitude of the person who answered the 'phone. Something that has occured to me as a new user of the Cobb is that the moat does get extremly hot.With that in mind i would not want to dunk it in cold water whilst it was still hot for washing as this could cause warping. Just a thought.
