Hi there

Are Cobb still doing special offers for members of this site? I was looking at getting the £140 package and hoping I would still get the griddle, lighter and thermometer free.

probably the only way to get a difinative answer on this one - unless of course Ratty reads this and comes back with a reply

i'm sure you will have as much fun with the cobb as we have had, and still continue to do so

Yes the offer is still valid. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/offers

Cheers  Ratty

Thought I would post in my existing thread instead of starting yet another "Cobb" thread

We have cooked twice on the cobb now using Easy Lite Heat Beads (the ones with a picture of australia on the packet). The first night was chicken filled with ricotta and spinach and tonight was a stir fry.

I dont know if I have a dodgy bag of beads but I waited the half an hour tonight as suggested before putting the frying dish on and it was only slighty simmering (using 6 beads). After about 20 mins of trying to seal the chicken so added another 4 or 5 beads and waited till they went grey. This made a slight bit of difference but it still took about an hour after they had gone grey to cook the stir fry.

I know you have to wait a while to fully experience the joy of a cobb but to wait an hour and half just for a stir fry that seemed to end up only luke warm anyway seems strange. I guess it doesnt get as hot as the gas hob would when you do a stir fry at home.

Maybe I will try woolies tomorrow to try and get the non easy lite version.

Try the Cobb cobblestones they work great

Well i just ordered one. I've heard good things about them. Can't wait to try it.

reason for edit :- typo

After looking at the American Cobb site there is a video clip and it does state when the coals are 30%grey start cooking - that would account for a lot.

Took mine to the beach the other day, had lamb chops and sausages, brilliant, added some more charcoal - only had charcoal, cooked a treat, better tghan the friends disposable bbq, could have been a sales rep!

mmmm..the whole chiken cooked lovely the best chiken ive ever tasted(free range after watchin that prog with the cottage chef) then last week we cooked sunday lunch..mmmm. takin the cobb to france with us next week..it will save on gas!!!
