I picked up a brand new Cobb Cooker at the thrift store for 30.00. I
consider that quite a score, considering the retail price for these. I
tried it's pizza capabilities, at home, on the back porch and, after about
a half hour, became impatient and finished it inside the oven, with the
other pizzas. Perhaps I was doing something wrong. I may have needed more
fuel to get the high temp required by pizza, who knows. It seemed adequate
for cooking most other foods.
Does anyone know if small bits of wood can be used in these?
