Tried it again this evening, on our front porch rather than the back yard, due to biblical rainstorms.

It made perfect Korean style ribs, which we ate on said porch, on the sofa, with a cold beer, watching the storm.

^ this.

Lovely to have a thick cast-iron grill when camping. After two camping seasons, the electric igniter still works on the first strike and the thing gets hotter than I expected based on the small flame. Clean-up is simple with the removable tray and smooth, curved lower casing.

Here are some pictures of the Cobb in action.

Moat filled with beer, smoke pouch on top of coals. Chicken brined and marinated in olive oil with lemons.

On the fire

After 45 minutes

Done, after 80 minutes. Internal temperature 175º.

Enough heat left for asparagus and fried polenta.

Thanks for the pictures what time is dinner being served?

That all looks mighty tasty. I received my Cobb Grill yesterday. I could not wait to use it so I had prepared some ribs to grill the day before. About 3 hours after unpacking the grill I was enjoying a meal of BBQ ribs, potatoes, onions and corn on the cob. Best and juiciest ribs I have had in some time. Tomorrow I am roasting up a chicken with all the trimmings.

I swear by my Cobb Grill. I've used it on every camping trip since I bought it. Beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, rabbit all come out great. I've used red wine in the moat instead of beer when grilling steaks; the flavor of the wine permeated the meat nicely.

Some people I know complain that cleanup is difficult; I don't find it so. Dump the dead coals, dump the remaining liquid from the moat. Spray the inside of the grill with Easy-Off Fume-Free oven cleaner. Let sit overnight. Light scrub with a plastic scrub-brush, then hose off. Cooking surfaces get washed like any cookware, though, using regular dishwashing liquid. There's no cast iron in a Cobb that gets seasoned over time.

I cooked up the chicken on the Cobb today. Melt in your mouth goodness. Clean up was much easier than the ribs. I used wine and spices in the moat. will pick up a can of Easy-Off next trip to the store. Thanks for the tip.

We purchased one of the Weber grills, and after we set it up, we realized that the connector from the AS (Bambi 2013) is not the correct connector. So in a last ditch effort to get our dinner, we got a couple of the portable canisters.

Our goal was to not have to carry the canisters. Does anyone know where we can get the correct connection hose so that we can connect the Weber to the AS.

THank you,
Karen

They are sold in most camping and RV stores. Amazon also sells them. Amazon.com : Weber 6501 6-Foot Adapter Hose for Weber Q Series and Gas Go-Anywhere Grills : Patio, Lawn & Garden

I have been using the Cuisinart CCG-100 GrateLifter Portable Charcoal Grill for the past year and I have been very happy with it. When i go camping we grill with it every night. Despite the inconvenience of using charcoal I much prefer the taste and if used in conjunction with a chimney starter you can get to coals started very quickly.

Here is a link to it: Cuisinart CCG-100 GrateLifter Portable Charcoal Grill

Camco makes an adapter that goes in between the LP tank and your regulator to allow an extension hose to be attached without disconnecting anything. I have that setup on mine and it works great. I keep two of the hoses so I can put them together to get the grill underneath my awning on hot days. Though it originally stuck out like a sore thumb and after being mounted on my AS for a couple of years now, the brass adapter has developed a nice patina that blends with all the other vintage hardware on the tongue. The hoses and the adapter can be bought at Camping World, some Wal-Marts, Amazon.com, or tons of other places where camping and RV supplies can be obtained.

Has anyone ever tried a Cobb? The verdict is still out for me but I'd love to hear other's opinions. Thanks.

If you go backwards through this thread, you'll find pages and pages of Cobb posts.

I love mine, even use it at home rather than fire up my large Vision Grill.

There are also a couple of threads devoted specifically to the Cobb.

FYI, I just got an email from Cobb stating they are going out of business in the US at the end of October. They have only some accessories remaining apparently.

Royce · 10-21-2013, 02:11 PM

I am not surprised. The Cobb has turned out to be a disappointment. I am back to using the Weber Smokey Joe, or the Volcano with propane adapter when Charcoal is not allowed.

Moflash · 10-21-2013, 03:25 PM

I found the Volcano Grill to be a well thought out travel grill especially for boon docking.Its collapsible,burns charcoal or runs on LP.Lightweight and fits in its own travel bag.Has a oven attachment and can be used as a fire pit on starry nights.I would not be without it.I love to cook and this thing has great heat distribution.I have a small folding metal mesh travel table that I set it on when cooking.

I ordered spares of a few things that might get lost or break on my Cobb, and intend to keep using it for as long as I can.
