G'day all you bush chefs,
for those that are familiar to the Cobb you will know what I'm talking about. For those humble beings still cookin in the camp oven, I know you cannot beat the seasoned flavour you get out your camp oven, but never the less the cobb has certain advantages over the very much loved camp oven.I still use mine as well.
Up-side:
#1 Weighs in at 4.8 kg, cast iron, mine is 19 kg (Hardings foundry ballarat)
#2 When it bluddy well rains it's hard to do your roast or any cookin with the cast iron, the Cobb goes in the tent annex and just keeps on cookin.
#3 You can use an awful lot of wood to keep the cast iron going.8 heat beads for the Cobb (buy only the best ones)
#4 Very difficult to burn your tucker, slow and easy does the trick, mum
#5 SAFE with kids around, not hot to touch, you can actually sit it on your lap whilst cookin.
#6 Can be used as a heater in tent or van SO long as ventilation is provided otherwise produces carbon-dioxide which is not good for healthy living.
And probaly other advantages I haven't mentioned as well.
Downside :
#1 You have to carry your fuel with you.
#2 It doesn't cook as hot as camp oven, others might beg to differ on that 1.( it will if you use more beads)
The Cobb is just another way of cooking your tucker, so get on with it and don't burn the potatoes mum.
Ave a great "Aussee" day
Harry
