Cobb Stove

We've fitted sausages, chops and steaks for 5 adults and 2 kids on it which was about the limit. We had to move everything around a bit because the outside isn't as hot as the middle. But at the end everything was well cooked and the 7 of us ate on 7 heatbeads. If you ran out of hotbeads I dare say it would work with other fuels (it was named after a corn cobb after all ! )

Hi
We have a Cobb and it would be great if you could tell me how you cooked bread in yours.....my efforts have not been very successful.
Apart from that we love ours

Hi Maggy,

Our chef (Pete) bought some of the packet mixes that you use in the bread-makers at home, then rang or emailed the manufacturer for info on how to prepare the dough. I can't remember how much water had to be added (I think it's the same as per the instructions on the packet), but it had to be measured fairly precisely, be luke-warm (not hot, and not cold), and then it had to be kneaded for about half an hour.
Then you let it rise for another half hour or so, preferably in a warm place (we used the engine bay of one of the vehicles, as they were still quite warm) with a tea towel on top. After it is fully risen, put it into the Cobb and cook for about an hour.

Lots of luck,
Lockie.

Well...here it is 2 hours later and I have just finished my YUMMMMY lamb roast cooked in the Cobb...perfect....meat was tender...potatoes were browned....If I had a damper receipe ready I could have cooked it with the remaining heat in the 8 heat beads that I used....so easy...1st time and I had an excellent meal....
