Greenvipper,

Here is a Link that explains the basics of cooking on the Cobb, it is so easy.  We currently have a massive chicken on the go with veg etc.. lying back chattin' to neighbours drinking beer and wine and chillin. All the instructions tell you basicaly is how to light it up and the rest is up to you.

good luck

I've got a new Cobb too which arrived Friday.

Did Trout on the Grill (+ sausages for the Kids)with new potatoes and veggies underneath Yesterday, Potatoes were a bit a firm after 1 hour cooking, think I put too much water in the moat as everything else was well cooked, may par boil them first next time.

Roast lamb, potatoes and parsnips with yorkshires today all turned out great. can't wait to do a full roast on the camp site next time we go camping.

got the rest of the lamb in a curry on the cobb at the moment with rice in the well underneath. has anybody tried this? not sure how I'm going to get the rice out without getting ash in it.

Intents,

Please do tell how you did the Yorkshire puds, thought that we were doing well. There is no end to what can be done on the Cobb, we had never cosidered doing rice, please let us know how is goes.

Regards

Wayne

Wayne, I used Aunt Bessies frozen yorkshire puds which were allowed to thaw out then placed around the joint for last 15 minutes, also put a couple underneath but these got a bit charred.

The rice didn't fully cook after about 90 minutes so I cheated and finished off indoors. The recipe book says it can be cooked in the well but doesn't give any details. I'll probably just cook the rice on the gas next time. the curry slow cooked in a big cassorole dish which rested on the fire guard and was excellent. also a couple of nann breads done like the yorkshires.

My wife's happy cuase she's had a weekend off from cooking.
