There are so many people on here who have reported disatisfaction with their Cobb, that I think I'll start a survery....

If your Cobb has melted, please email me.

I have had no joy from Cobb UK who tried to blame me for overloading it!!!!

Hi janey,have had my cobb for 3 years the old plastic type I have never had a problem with it,we love it.

I never used the lid, only using it as a barbeque with only 5-7 briquettes.  The base is really distorted!  Cobb picked up my thread from here last time I posted it, then ignored my email with pictures that they had requested. It is a great bit of kit, but obviously no good if it melts.  Apparently the problem is caused when a lot of fat collects in the well, as it may ignite. 

However, I think it is really interesting that they have ditched the plastic base!

I was wondering if you can do this as I really wanted to be able to use as a bbq and poke the food around whilst standing at it having a beer don;t just want to put a lid on it and wait but I thought that it was not very efficient without the lid.

someone elses cobb melted on here last year I think it was, and it was replaced i believe. I cant remember whos cobb it was though.

may also be worth posting on outdoor life and general chat, incase they dont come onto this page very often.

We had a problem with the old type solid base, it cracked, Cobb replaced it straight away, and free of charge, Brilliant piece of kit, wouldn't be without it. Although in my experience the solid base is better than the new mesh one, it cooks quicker, perhaps the extra heat might have been the old types downful?

I have just been offered a new premier base at a vastly reduced price.

Many thanks Graham at Cobb
