Use our's all the time. Cooked Crisstmas dinner on it in 2008. We buy the bread mixes from supermarkets and bake our own bread after using it to cook a meal.

We bought the complete outfit at a show, including lighter, thermometer and all , for £150 two years ago and it still as good as new.

Saves the OH from cooking inside during hot weather and getting all hot and bothered.

When in the motorhome we light the cobb outside and then in bad weather often bring it in to cook on. After cooking it then gives us heat in the van. We then sit and dream we are in America, where we first saw this idea rather than Britain where obviously such an act is dangerous

Well every one seems to have nothing but good to say about the Cobb and agree with all that been said, however there are a few negative thing that should also be said, oh! and by the way I have been using one for about 4 years.

1/ They a fiddly and difficult to keep clean (as in like new)
2/ They take much longer to cook than an open BBQ
3/ A whole chicken often takes longer that the one load of briquettes.

But having said that I still like them.

We had a look at the Cobb cookers at Shepton Mallet M/H show last September and were very impressed with them, the guy selling them told us they were going to bring out a LPG gas version of them so we thought we would wait until then.

We were amazed at the things the Hairy Bikers cooked in them especially the Cornish Pasties.

we never actually see ours as a BBQ. We see it more as the oven and the BBQ as the hobb

How about a view from someone who looked at the much praised Cobb at a show and said "that's a pretty wood burning Aga" why would I want that when we have a perfectly good oven ? All that storage space lost for what benefit ?

"The king's new clothes" !

So we stuck with our gas Cabac - all for the easy life. And it's very good too. You can't beat lamb chops cooked nice and crispy on a BBQ.
