Had a bit of an accident - thought I would check out these cobblestones on the cob and cook some breakfast.

First mistake was natural firelighgters which of course are wax and something, the firelighter took longer to burn than the cobbllestone did to ligght as did the wax from the firelighter.

After breakfast was cooked I thought I must take off the frying pan thing as I had read that bit!  Thought don't really want this thing exposed so would put the lid on.....

However I underestimated the heat left in the cobblestone and when I looked the plastic handle on the lid was melting

The moral of the story is - do ot underestimate the heat that is given off by the cobblestone and do what I have done!

I was of the opinion that the cobblestones didn't need firelighters....you just put a match the the stone it's self....i may be wrong.....

That would make life easier

I have a bucket bbq from Woolworths like this one here does anybody know if the cobblestones will work in it?. Am not sure as I think the cobblestone might be too far away from the grill so might not be hot enough?

thanks xoopsx

I'm interested in this because I have one too. I would think that putting some rocks in the bucket, then placing Cobblestones on top, would do the trick.

But are Cobblestones appropriate for this use?

good thinking about putting stones in the bottom Hairywol  

I just thought it might be a easier, cleaner and cheaper way of creating heat in bbq - might have to have a trial run

To the OP

while I have been looking into cobblestones I have found the cobb site which you can get a replacement plastic handle for the top of the lid which melted - see here
