Hello

Received my cobb yesterday and its brilliant. Had a little trouble getting the quick lite heat beads to stay lighted but managed it in the end.

I found a post on here that mentions about the best way to clean the Cobb using vinegar and some cleaning pads from Lakeland. Unfortunately I cant find it now because the search facility never seems to be working on here.

Dont suppose someone kept a copy of the thread anywhere?

no point in putting it in the dishwasher either - well the cooking surfaces are ok, but not the lid, base or moat.  each and every time i take it out of the dishwasher i remember why i keep telling myself not to put it in.  i can really do a much better job by hand in the sink with a scourer.

Like Tallman, we also use ours a lot at home - even had it cooking away in the middle of the sitting room on one rather wet occasion! (yes i did have it outside - under a brolly - to light and only brought it in once it had stopped smoking)

Tesco's certainly sell the power spray - it comes in a dark green bottle.  It's what we always use on our Cobb

Power spray on the grill and a piece of wire wool on the moat...

I use standard bbq firelighters and standard bbq briquettes on mine with wilkinsons home brand being my favoured.

Cleaning, cheap imitation power spray and cheap smart price brillos for the moat and inside the lid, rest just normal washing up, never bother cleaning the fire basket.

And for the time when I can't be bothered to clean it untill later I keep the plastic charity bags that keep getting pushed through our letter box, the whole caboodle fits in one of them then into the cobb bag until washing up time later

I too looked for fairy power sparay to no avail.

I bought some cillit bang power cleaner degreaser.

It worked quite well. but then i tried an old favourite

bicarb of soda, then add some vinegar and scrub with a green scratchy thing.

did half and half and the the bicarb/vinegar was much cleaner and much cheaper and much more green

for the house i have a spray made up of vinegar, bicarb and water- top stuff

its not equal amounts theres more bicarb ( about 2:1)so use are left with a paste

works really well  honest
