Cob: Lets get it back on topic!

[Darel Henman]

Yes, thanks for the point.

But, it should also be noted that some people use cob ovens, which
appear to survive the heat.  I don't have a cob oven, but have seen
historic ones, but not ones in use.  Perhaps someone who has seen cob
ovens in use or is using them can tell us about their performance or
durability to heat.

Perhaps the wood stick/bones of the oven help make it more heat
resisant?
