I have tried to cook a Chicken on the COBB, however cannot get one to cook completely . I have tried using the Cobblestones, but these do not seem to keep hot enough for long enough.

Can anyone tell me where to I can get hold of heatbeads to try?

Is there a particular manufacturer to look for? (I can't find much when I do a google search).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Last I heard Waitrose had them in stock :)

try some fresh air,

I have had a go at answering this before, about halfway down the page. see here. a few links to heat beads.

Thanks everyone,

Tricky0001979, I have followed the instructions, cooked it breast down first on the grill that I got with it but the legs still come out under cooked. Today I used a 1.450 kg chicken. How did you cook yours?

ps i think you can get coblestone from cobb website?

If you have The Range nearby they have them for about £5.99 a bag I think.  The cobblestones are fine though, remember you can start cooking on them after a few minutes, don't leave them to long before you start cooking :)

I tried again today with the heatbeads, most definatly hotter than the cobblestones and for longer too. However, the legs were still pink and the highest the thermo-probe got to was 170. I thought a chicken was cooked when the breast is white and the legs are brown, or am i being over cautious?

I was hoping to master the technique before I go camping next weekend but am slowly getting less and less enthusiastic about it. I think I might stick to beef, at least it can be eaten whilst still pink.
