Cob Breakin

@JaGri1, yep they are back up and running, and have set a limit of 3 per customer. I have 3 of the acrylics on the way. I was disappointed to see they are not offering the P-Lip model. I wish I had secured a few of those back when they were available.

Cob's need a break-in? I never knew this. I may have to read this article.


Nah! I've never bothered with a break-in of a cob. They are just made to load and smoke. 

In my opinion, of course.

I’ll save you a read: Nothing  in Greg’s article speaks of cob break-in.

I have never broken in a cob. I just load em and smoke em. I am no professional though, I still consider myself learning.

Other than a light bowl swipe of honey, (I do the same with new briars) I’ve never thought of “breaking in” a cob.
