Cobb cookers - are they worthwhile?

Dave

We bought one a couple of years back and wondered at the time if it'd just be another gadget gathering dust in the shed. WRONG !!!

Best thing since sliced bread, square pies and iced vovos.

Go for it, you won't regret it.

Cheers

they work well & use mine just as much at home as i do camping there pretty fool proof

Dave,

We had the same thoughts but have since brought one and they are great. Take it on every trip we do and it gets a run at home from time to time as well.

It took us a few goes to get things cooked just how we like but now there is no stopping us.

Ozidave,
Just do a search on forum under Cobb , land check this thread for a couple of recipes.

I am off to Broome shortly and the Cobb asnd Dream Pot will be the first 2 items packed.

I got mine two weeks ago and have used it three times with great success, takes longer than an electric oven but if you use liquid in the moat there is no drying out. I too think it is the best thing since twisties, and I haven't even gone camping with it yet.

Will also be taking it down the to the football club to cooks snags to raise funds - so much easier than lugging round gas bottle, hotplate, BBQ etc.

Can't wait to start smoking stuff in it.

And soooo portable.

the best ever piece of camping equipment we have ever owned, you can cook your meal,dessert and boil a cuppa and heat the water for washup then put it in the tent to warm it up before bed and that is just using about 8 hot beads.

If you are looking at buying I suggest you ring Anaconda in Melb. as they were $50 less than anywhere in Aus. when we got ours. Postage was $6 off memory.

Hi Reading about the Cobb! Can anyone tell me what it is and how it works?Its got me thinking I might want one if they're so good, and where can I see one? thanks

$180 and a very small cooking area. Also have to stick heat beads in it.

I'm not knocking them, but a $30 camp oven has served me so well for 15 years, and does such a good roast in the campfire that I cannot justify $180.

For me (and it's just my opinion), $180 will buy you a little chainsaw that will give you a great campfire and provide coals to cook a great roast in a camp oven.

All about personal choice.

Cheers,

Jim.

Cobb is the best piece of cooking equipment we have ever purchased. Many times there have been 4 of us out camping with other friends and have used all 4 Cobbs. Roasts equally as good as the camp oven. Do the roast meat in one and vegies in the other.

Best part is we can use them when there are total fire bans or too hot to bother with a camp fire, or just plain cannot be bothered. Can be used in areas where there is just NO wood available.

Also they are robust and easy to keep clean.
