Very light and so easy to use.

tell me Tombie - do these require a special fuel -- and if so is it easy to get ??


otherwise I'm a long term user of the (light, unbreakable) Bedourie - post #3 in this thread tells it all

Camp Ovens are terrific, I have cooked in ours for years all over Aus

Since the Cobs came on the market several years ago it is the only "camp

oven" I use whilst travelling, it weighs hardly anything simple to use and

cooks anything a camp oven can, all you need is a few heat beads and the

roast/scones/pizza etc is done in no time

I'm pretty keen on a Cobb cooker now I've seen one in the flesh! What an awesome idea!

Just picked up a 4.5 quart cast iron oven and a cast iron grill plate half price at the new Camp shop (Ray's?) on Logan Road near Stones Corner in Brisbane. Looks like a pretty decent place.

Cheers

The Cobbs work out a bit expensive when you buy all the bits, but those bits are really worth the getting. Look out for a caravan camping show or simular as they are often discounted.

A few pics of some of our efforts so far.

The best thing about thes cookers is you can use them in places where you might not be able to light a decent fire, we cooked inside the annex of the van once the flames from the firelighters died down

Correct, you can have a roast, pizza or whatever in a total fire ban as they are contained and you can cook inside

A National park Ranger (Qld) was amazed with ours a few years ago and commented that every camper should have one

Just don't do it in NSW,
and looking at the QRFS site I doubt you can legally do it in Qld either.

Found this the other day. Likes shape and lid doubles as pan, quality of iron and handles. Dislikes $100- price tag.
