Again, you use the moat when you use the dome i.e in oven mode. It's not a requirement, but if your roasting and aren't looking for a crispy skin, you can add liquid such as stock, or beer, and it will bubble off into steam keeping the meat moist & adding flavour. Also helps with the cleaning after 
Some people put parboiled veg in the moat such as potatoes, so that when the fat drips through, it goes on the veg to roast them too. You can also put foil wrapped bits and bobs in the moat. I've done cherry tomatoes, courgettes, leeks,broccoli..all sorts really. Then rocky road bananas on top in foil to finish, as you don't need so much heat.
As shd76 mentioned, a windy day isn't ideal, but it doesn't need to be completely sealed in. We 'Cobbed' all of last weekend while away camping. I'd bought a new windbreak, which turned out to be a very good investment  Just remember to use enough heat beads if you are planning to cook for a long time. A roast will get through 8-9, whereas a Cobblestone is only for a quick meal. Enjoy your Cobb

I always roast veg in the moat don't even par boil just cut spuds up small enough, add peppers, courgettes any thing you want, depending on what if anything you are cooking above just add a smidge of oil. Done corn both in the moat and on top Decent tongs are your friend for removing the food. I have found 6 heat beads enough to roast a chicken in about an hour and a half with spuds taking just under an hour. One thing I have found that aids cleaning is get a small metal pie dish and when you have finished cooking take out the basket with the coals, it stops the oils and food residues baking on. Thought the cobblestones were over priced rubbish, heat beads or decent lumpwood charcoal(big bits) all the way
