Weber kettle. Brilliant bbqs, well made and loads of accessories.
This...Weber kettle. Brilliant bbqs, well made and loads of accessories.
One of the key 'likes' for me about the Cobb is that it was designed in SA to be super efficient and is very clean burning, so 8 Briquettes will cook a whole Chicken and pudding after! As the fat doesn't drip onto the coals there is none of that nasty smokiness either...it's the future!Cook it indoors, then eat it in the garden and enjoy the fresh air, along with your neighbours.
We are currently experiencing a climate change extreme weather event, along with NW America, Australia, and NW Europe, especially Germany.
And yet we still want more stuff, especially gas & charcoal powered.
Will we ever get it??
I'm sold.It's 12" diameter cook surface.
I use the standard plate, roasting-rack and Griddle plus. Then I have 2 Dome extensions and roasters for doing chickens standing up.
I have the wok thingy aand the BBQ plate but don't use them much.
With a few tweaks any suitable pot or pan can be used with it.
The kettle makes a good starter chimney and any Charcoal can be made to work.
Getting the rotisserie next!
Do whole chooks, double beef ribs, hams, lamb legs, +/- smoke, Fritattas. Low and slow is possible. You can do potatoes and veg in the moat - automatic basting! Great on campsites as it creates very little smoke. Get a large plastic trugg to cart it around and bobsherunkle :-0
I get his point, as he only has one cooker not a spare one and his gas or electric may well be much better than where the charcoal came from. Last time i looked on a bag at a friends house it came from Namibia ! Not close or famend for its forest cover and lousy charcoal as not as dense as UK stuff.Presumably your indoor appliances run off a self-sufficient source of green energy?

Brilliant - I think you'll love it!I'm sold.
Going to order one for my B'day present.going Premier Air with a roasting rack (and potentially griddle) and carry bag set.
@Fab Foodie is the griddle much (£40) better than the standard grill plate for burgers and steaks etc?
The bag looks very neat, but I'm also thinking it will all fit in an Aldi bag for life for transporting/ storage
The same still applies, he only has one appliance and its not being sipped from the other side of the world. Besides that what if its coming from wind energy ? How would you ever know ?But what if his indoor appliances are running off electricity produced by a coal-fired power station?

Loving it. I did actually get a bag as it was virtually free with their bundle pricing. Zip is OK so far 😉Brilliant - I think you'll love it!
I think the griddle plate is worth having for sure, it's my goto for burgers to Ribs of beef.
Std Plate with roasting rack does eveything else and allows you to put a pan or pot (casseroles etc) on as well or baking trays for Cakes etc.
Don't bother with the bags, every one I have had the zip has gone after a few uses, I even got new ones from Cobb as replacements and they did the same. I just use and carry mine about in a plastic builders trugg, but an Aldi bag will work fine for transportation.
fb groups are great for help and inspiration!
