Jenn S. from On The Road...traveling The Us
I am traveling/camping full time for several months and purchased the Cobb as an extra cooking method along with and in case of running out of propane. The Cobb has turned out to be my go to cooking method as it can be fired up and used in the rain, on the beach, on the picnic
table, or under a
tent shelter. I find it takes more charcoal than the 5 - 7 briquettes mentioned in advertising and that maybe my learning how to calculate Charcoal readiness or I am not using a high quality charcoal. I have cooked a chicken on the standup rack: it turned out great, baked cookies and bread: turned out great but needed to flip them on the heat surface half way through, cooked bacon and eggs on the heat surface, and roasted vegetables on the open rack system. One night in Texas, where we could not have a fire but could burn charcoal, we loaded up the charcoal well with briquettes and had a "fire". I also have the extension ring to lift the cooking surface up off the charcoal and find that to be very useful. My Cobb purchase included all the cooking surfaces offered and I use them all. I highly recommend this product. I think long and hard about what I give space to in my camping gear. The Cobb stove is a high value camping item for my needs. Highly recommended!!!
