Has anyone had experience of these? Can you use in a large ventilated awning, and do they cook well? Have heard varied feedback.

Wouldn't use one in an awning at all,maybe if all the sides were off.Still give off CO until they're completely out. Tragic incident in north Wales last summer with a bbq in a tent. Ther're very safe to use re flames,heat,etc The base doesn't get hot and no flare ups when cooking. They cook brilliantly,sausages,burgers,chicken,etc very juicy. You can actually cook a roast chicken and all the veg but we haven't tried it(Yet!)

We love ours! It cooks meat beautifully with the Cobblestones but doesn't need the constant attention that a charcoal barbecue demands. It doesn't smoke, doesn't flare up and is all contained, particularly when the lid is on.
I've read of some people saying they don't get hot enough, but that's not our experience. Then again, we have only ever used the Cobblestones (which are great, because you can get cooking almost straight away).
The wall of the base stays cool, so you can carry it about whilst it's cooking. It would be fine to use it in the awning if all the sides were down (as mike+judi have already suggested) but otherwise it needs to be treated just like any other barbecue; with respect and caution!

Thanks for replies. Yes I was thinking about the tragedy in North Wales last year, awfully sad. Would only use with awning sides unzipped.

Cheers Ratty

I wouldn't be without my Cobb - and take it everytrip. Since getting it I don't think there is a trip where I haven't used it, apart from the time when we were a couple of miles from my sister, as she was taking the kids to a DrWho Exhibition, and she did all the cooking.
I use it as a griddle, and an oven - does lovely baked spuds.

Ratty you are so patient and polite! Cobbs, Cadacs and the like should be sticky'd or put in different folders for easy access to previous threads.

I love our Cobb. It's really nice to chuck a whole chicken on, covered in some packet spice. It comes out wonderfully,
I would not put one in a tent. The day I bought it we trialled it in the garden. We cooked a whole chicken, we ate, we left it, we consumed another bottle of wine.... Only luke warm ashes were left of the fuel, really they were cold to the touch. So we took it into the kitchen. That was enough to set of our co alarms.

Best cooking kit ever!
Since I bought mine back in December, my oven hasn't seen any meat! I use it all the time to cook a range of things - I'll be taking it camping this weekend and will be cooking some interesting stuff on it at the campsite, in the mean time I've got a couple of Cobb videos I've made on my YouTube page - The duck one is fairly long at 20mins but has more in depth overview of the Cobb, but all 3 will give you some ideas.
I'll post some more camping orientated ones when I get back next week!

The griddle!
BBQ meat seems to stick to the grill plate (probably because the non-stick coating came off very quickly), but the griddle seems to be a bit more tough.

We love ours. Use cobblestones as they are perfect. I have to agree the griddle is the most used piece of kit, run the write rack, but make sure it's the new one with side on...the number of today pastors our whatever that have rolled of.....
Happy days are Cobb days :)

I only use mine as an oven as getting any of the other accessories would be duplication of already-bought equipment. However, it is brilliant and allows an extra dimension to camp cuisine.
I have to say that, despite their undoubted convenience, I find the Cobblestones a little under-powered.
