I have now been trying to light a cobblestone fro a Cobb for 5 mins, lots of matches gone and..............nothing!

I have a pork joint crying out for the Cobb - what do I need to do, I'm sticking a lighted match down the centre hole, I've also tried the lighter thingy that comes with it and nothing - any suggestions - I've tried what I've seen in previous threads other than a fire lighter in the bottom (which I'm not supposed to use - am I ?).

Any help greatfully accepted asap!

Thanks Rochford6, yes I saw that, unfortunately I got absolutely nothing when I put 18!  matches to it, not a flicker; not a sizzle - nothing - you never know it may be my technique  (new to this whole wonderful lark!) or it might be a bad batch I suppose.  I'll call Graham (I think that's his name - lovelly chap over the phone - tomorrow and try out another from the box and get OH to try just so that if he can do it, it will make him feel v manly (brownypoints to me!).  

In the meantime, bit the bullet and put a firelighter in - shame on me - however the pork is now on with some potatoes!

Fingers crossed  !

Thanks to everyone who read the thread for trying to help!
