I’m looking into buying a COBB barbecue for this year , my trusty old fold away barbecue is looking ropey. I’m interested in hearing from people that have one ( not the gas version) and whether they would recommend it or not ? I think that’s the type you had at TE last time wasn’t it @mikedjames ?
There’s only three of us so don’t need to cook loads at a time , I agree about the cost , I’ll be buying a second hand one if possible - missed one over Christmas on eBay - went for about £30 and I watched it and I forgot to bid
I was watching them on eBay in the summer. They normally go for a lot more than £30. In the end my old man found one online somewhere for not much more than a battered one. I bought mine off @bernjb56
I can confirm Mr @mikedjames indeed has a Cobb and loves it I can also confirm he made , from scratch , a lovely batch of scones at Techenders all cooked inside the Cobb - very versatile , the Cobb not Mike
I have the gas connection, external bottle version very rare and no longer made. Everyone I know who has any cobb loves it.
Hi, yes I have one. Its great for cooking stuff while it is sitting on a table, as its casing stays cold. Because its stainless steel it does not rust away like all the painted BBQs do. I also mess around using the space under the cover as an oven - cooking scones at TE for example. I also tend to light it up in the morning and cook a fryup on tinfoil in it too. It uses about 7 charcoal briquettes per session. One of my more used camping accessories.
There's always The Pig In Muck buffet if you can't get a Cobb ... (Just get a Cobb !) Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
If you accept "all you can eat*" as being the goal, the Pig's chippy buffet fits the bill. * two chips and some mushy peas and gravy and youre done... I was lucky with the Cobb, one year at Volksworld, JK had too many in stock and were selling them off at the end for under £100...
