Cobb BBQs – The Easy Option for Barbecue & Outdoor Cooking

Aug. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- A Cobb Barbecue is perhaps the ultimate outdoor cooking system and is certainly much more than "just a barbecue".  If you are cooking for 2 to 5 people the Cobb BBQ is ideal and very versatile, well constructed and easy to store, carry and use.  With a compact design it makes the perfect barbecue solution for camping trips, holidays, days at the beach, boating or a just a picnic.

One of the advantages of a Cobb barbecue is that it does not smoke like a normal BBQ; this is because the food is isolated from the charcoal so the fat does not drip on it.   This is another reason why it is good for cooking in small places such as onboard a boat as you don’t get any smoke flooding the cabin.

It can also be used as a charcoal oven and even cook pizzas in just 15 minutes!  Through all of this it continues to remain cool to the touch on the outside so it can be used safely on a picnic table or even a wooden deck and is much safer for children.

The Sunday Times Travel Section Good Gear Guide said "The ingenious design of Cobb's barbie means that while it's roasting on the inside, the outer shell stays cools enough to carry. So once you've finished your impromtu beach barbie, you don't have to wait hours to get the thing back to the car".

A Cobb BBQ is extremely efficient and only needs six briquettes to cook for up to five hours giving maximum heat from minimum fuel.  It will also burn with innovative Cobb Cobblestones (http://www.nauticalia.com/uk-info/outdoor_living/get_cook...), which are environment-friendly and specially shaped to fill the fuel compartment of a Cobb barbecue and formulated to burn hotter and longer than charcoal of the same size/weight.  Each stone burns for 2½hrs with very little residue and are individually plastic-wrapped, so won't absorb moisture nor will they turn everything black.  

Finally, when it comes to cleaning, a barbecue is usually a nightmare, well the Cobb BBQ (http://www.nauticalia.com/uk-info/special_offers/multi-bu...) is easy to clean as all metal parts are stainless steel and the grill grid, fire basket, steel bowl and all the accessories are dishwasher safe so can be washed when you get home.

Canal Boat & Inland Waterways also reviewed the Cobb (http://www.nauticalia.com/uk-info/outdoor_living/get_cook...) and said "You can bake, smoke, roast, grill or steam food on this. It is designed so that fat runs away from the food and into the flavour well. It can be used on or off the boat".
