The Cobb question returns

Hi Jeff. The lamb turned out good despite the weight for the beads to go white.
Cooked it for two hrs and it was yummie.
I have a Soverign camper, only done two trips with it.Both trips entailed dirt rd
so we got a bit of dust in. Got some foam cut 2x2 and packed in at the back which
stopped the prob there.2nd trip. Just seems the vents on the door now to look at. tows well
Done 400km dirt rd and nothing falling off yet.So yes after two trips we like it.
We changed from a tent camper. Have not tried a over night stop but don't
think it would be to hard to set up and pull down.
Hope this helps. cheers Brian

I can get my heat beads up and running in about 10mins, simply by using a pair of pliers, stick the whole basket of beads in the camp fire and hurries them up real quick.
As for the camper , I've just purchased a Cub Camper, model Supermatic Regal Offroad and we are very happy. The day we looked at it , we were on our way over to finalize a Kimberley camper and called into Cub, this 1 cost us $8000 less with the same if not better options than if we had bought the Kimberley and my main concern with any of the campers was weight. 700kg unladen and tows like it wasn't there.
This 1 only has a 100mm drawbar not 150mm which is an overkill and extra weight not necessary. All Australian canvas.
No great big boxes loaded onto the drawbar, fridge ( already have Engel anyway )and cupboard inside, annexe that doesn't go around drawbar, jerrycan holders, compatible wheels, reversing camera fitted, and hard floor to boot.
Loads of different options you need to consider, like where the door opening is, what does the outside kitchen do, how much water in the tank, do you really need an electric pump and so on.

that looks good

You can get a crispier vegetable by spraying with oil before putting in the Cobb. I just put a light spray of Olive Oil over the vegies although most times I cook the vegies with the skin on so will never get a realy crispy vegetable like when cooking in oil. Most of the time now with potatoes I get the small washed ones and cook in a dry moat for the same length of time as for the meat and put the other vegies around the meat.
Cheers

I just lightly coat with oil like Robyn but for really crispy spuds whether in the Cobb or other oven - first roll the peeled potatoes in flour containing a pinch or two of ginger (no idea why the ginger helps, it just does).
