Kero and Berni,
We have used a Cobb Premier for about a year, it goes everywhere with us, one of the first things packed in the CT.
We have had no trouble with the beads going out during cooking, the only thing I can think of is, you must let the heat beads really burn down until they are all a uniform ash
grey colour, if you start cooking with them half black and half
grey, then yes they probably will suffocate and die. We have found that the quality of the heat bead is very important to the cooking process, buy the best one's you can, same thing with the fire-lighters.
As for the bread I have bread mix, cake mix, and damper mixes and they all come out really good, (after a little practise) and yes to stop the burning on the base of the bread, use a trivet, egg rings, or even small empty tuna tins, they all seem to work.
Wait until you try a roast lamb or beef, yummo.
Happy cooking.
Barry and Marie
