This stove comes assembled in the black box and the centre black part (far left in photo) on ours was unbeknown to me the wrong way up. As I have only ever cooked on electricity and open fires it seemed ok to me, held the billy stable etc. I can tell you my daughter and I are very traumatised by the whole thing, thinking of the damage it could have caused to the kids if we hadnt placed it where we did.

Thanks Baz I got myself sorted out on that one, it makes sense to use the more open grill plate to let more heat to the top area and that was part of my problem, the bottom cooking too fast would be helped by using a trivet, but the denser pan is touted for pizza and stir fry etc. I sort of feel a bit resentful to have to pay the extra for the cook book which might give more detail and is sold by Cobb. The total of the Cobb and extra pan and cover are not cheap by any means and I feel they should throw in the book instead of the booklet. I feel the Cobb has a lot to offer and extends simple camp cooking and a few pointers from fellow users makes it quicker to get good results. While at hill end I bought a cast iron pot (the right size for two) and can see myself using that on the Cobb for various things. If it heats up enough it will have more depth for stir fries than the pan.
