Hello

We have just got a new COBB and my lovely huby also donated funds towards the griddle and frying pan and roasting rack. Does anyone know what order they go as I have no idea!! Should it all fit together to be stored?

Also how many heat beads do people use? I tried yesterday for the first time and started with 6 and then added 2 more but it did not seem to get hot enough and the chicken took AGES... any advice?

It will all fit in the Cobb bag with a bit of practice but without the dome extension I'm not sure what order (with the extension you sit the dome upside down on the extension). Sorry - that's not much help is it!

As for the heat beads, it depends on what you're cooking. Adding more beads is the same as turning up the temperature on your oven at home. I use briquettes on mine and to roast a chicken I usually use 10. Remember that each time you lift the lid to see how it's doing you're letting all of the heat out of the oven and it won't start cooking properly again until it's back up to temperature. I usually find it takes about 1 hr 45 minutes to cook a chicken.

Top tip with the frying pan is to put the dome on for 15-20 mins before you start frying - gets it sizzling hot! You could also find a (normal) wok that sits nicely in the rim so you can do stirfries and chilli, etc.

Cobb cooking involves a lot of trial and error but stick with it and you'll soon find that you can cook practically anything on it! My daughter baked buns in ours!

Happy cobbing!

Hi
We have the dome extension and it does go in the bag, you put the ld on the Cobb, put it in the bag then sit the extension on top of the ld as far down as it will go. It's tight but it works :)

I use cobblestones so can't offer advice on heat beads sorry.

An average chicken takes approx 2 hours with a cobblestone, and you can use it 2 minutes after lighting it. Don't forget to put potatoes and veggies in the moat with some liquid.... Mmmmmm hungry now!!!
