Anyone else use a Cobb?
Hi everyone. My camping habit started more than 40 years ago when I was 15, and never went away. Ten years ago I started living on a boat but still camp. When I discovered the Cobb cooker I realised that it was perfectly suited to both boating and camping, so thought I might ask who else is using one, and do they use it at home?
Although I've lived on a boat for almost 10 years my camping 'habit' is more than 40 years old. We still camp now, as 'fair weather' campers. It was my interest in camping that prompted me to open my own website. You can look at it here.

I went to the zoo recently. The only animal there was a small dog. It was a shihtzu

I've got one but I've only played with it up to now. Sad to say I thought about it after watching The Hairy Bikers using one. Saw a demonstration at Beaulieu two years ago and bought one. As i say i've only pratted about with it. I'm hoping to give it a good testing this year.

Hi Boris and thank you

The boat is moored in Yorkshire and we have a marina berth. Thanks for having a look at my site and the kind words.
If you check out the 'homepage' link on my website you'll find links to both Camping and boating oriented articles I've written here and there on the internet. I've put a link below to one of the articles if you'd like to have a look.
One of the things I really love about the camping/boating thing is that they are essentially the same! Though I do have to say that I wouldn't fancy living in a tent full time. This winter would put anyone off, though in saying that, we only got -12 here, I think you can beat that, certainly parts of Scotland can.
Another common factor is the knowledge that whether on a boat or in a tent we tend to be more careful with the everyday things that we take for granted in a house, water being a particular case in point. We're lucky on the boat because we're only a few metres away from a mains water supply in the marina. I well remember camping on a croft in the west of Scotland where the only water supply dripped from a plastic waste pipe knocked into a hillside. This water supply was shared by the crofters and any visitors there. Makes you think...
Anyway, here's the link

Hi Mabels Old Man
I think the Hairy Bikers probably ought to be on commission!
Couple of tips with the cobb
Light it and give it 15-20 minutes for the coals to go grey.
When cooking leave the lid on and place the stove out of the wind. Don't be tempted to keep on checking it
Buy a BBQ thermometer! There's a hole in the lid where you can stick it through to make sure any meat is cooked.
Use it (the Cobb that is), they are magic
OOps, forgot one. Use wine or cider in the well mixed with water, you can make a really mean sauce

I've been using a Cobb for years - both camping and at home. I love it so much that I bought a second one. I can't get over how little charcoal it takes, how quickly it is ready and how long the heat lasts - you can cook substantial joints of meat and whole chickens in the Cobb. I've got all the extras too although the original grill plate is the one I use most. I've recently started to use the specially designed charcoal brick which is excellent but not really necessary. I've made bread in it (both from bread mixes and from scratch) I would imagine it would be perfect on a boat - it stays so cool you can pick it up while alight so no danger of scorching surfaces. It's expensive but built to last.

Used mine last weekend and it was brilliant. Fool english for five no problem. It was so good my eldest daughter is going to buy one.

I would but I don't think Jamie Lee would appreciate it.

Could you not fit a visor to it? It could double as a crash hat.
