Cobb BBQ - the Design
The first thing which strikes you about the Cobb BBQ is that it is no shrinking violet. It’s has a cylindrically-shaped main body with a separate dome lid and measures 33cm in each dimension. For storage, the lid can be inverted which drops the height down to a more packable 26cm. Weight is 4.5kg – this is a solid bit of kit.
Lighting the Cobb BBQ
Lighting the Cobb is simple and requires firelighters and charcoal briquettes. We recommend using natural firelighters, for example Flamers Natural Firelighters as they use natural wood shavings soaked in fully refined paraffin wax. This means that the firelighters will not cause any chemical tainting of your food as you cook it.
Fuel for the Fire
In terms of the briquettes, there are a number of options. We used quality charcoal from Weber which worked exceptionally well. You can also use restaurant grade lumpwood if you have some available.
Cooking with the Cobb BBQ
So your coals have been burning for 30 mins or so and the heat is high inside the Cobb – now the fun bit! Basically the Cobb can be used for a very wide range of cooking – it can act as an oven, a smoker, a grill and simply as a stove for heating up a pan.
Cleaning your Cobb
After you’ve finished cooking, it’s worth removing the lid and grill plate and letting your Cobb BBQ cool down a bit. The charcoal ash can be tipped away in a designated place at the campsite – ask the wardens if you’re unsure.
Cobb BBQ Conclusions
We were blown away by all aspects of the Cobb. From the original design inspiration to its continued heritage and quality of materials we think it is a great piece of kit and so satisfying to use.
