9 Heat beads in the fire box nibbo.... and you will have time to cook owt ya want...

Hi

I usually clean mine in the morning,  I use a spoon to scoop out the solid fat, and then put a little bit of hot water form my kettle and a squirt of fairy, have my breakfast and then wipe round with kitchen roll, this usually cleans it up nicley, the top grill bit goes to the sink with the rest of the washing up. when away for a week or two , it usually has a good wash a the sink about once a week and before we pack up to come home.

Cobb = BBQ

Cadac = Self Contained Gas Frying Pan

I got some cheap (99p in green bottle)  BBQ cleaner from Tesco, cleans the burnt on stuff from the moat a treat when I do get it burnt on. Also use my steam cleaner kit that comes with me wallpaper stripper when I get home.

If you can remember when finished cooking, remove the grill top, fill moat with more water, put on lid and leave to steam up, that usually shifts it. What I do like with my Cobb is that if I do want to put it away because we are going out or something you can lift the heat basket out and extinquish the charcoal, so can be packed away.

I find my Cadac doesn't heat the food enough to cook it. I got a Cobb and found it a waste of space. It really is a nightmare to clean - the effort needed is out of all proportion to the benefits of having it and I found that it didn't cook at all well. I was using the recommended heat beads but they were going cold before the food was cooked. It's easier to send the wife down to the chippy or the chinese takeaway.

You must have been doing something wrong, the Cobb is a wonderful piece of kit (IMHO) You must not have used enough Heat Beads, at the Essex meet last year, we cooked our food on our Cobb, and then we lent it to some others, who had trouble with their normal BBQ, and it was still hot enough to cook on at 10.00 pm.
