So what's the difference between a Cobb and a halogen as far as cooking results go? Ive used a halogen for 4 years now but am always looking for new "gadgets".

Halogen, you'd need to have EHU, the Cobb runs off charcoal.

We love our Cobb, have had it a few years now and it gets regular use when we're away. Add to that a Trangia, and I dont need any other forms of cooking equipment.

If anyone still needs convincing, then take a look back at the very early series' of the Hairy Bikers, as they used one in almost every episode

I remember seeing them using one and I loved it. Maybe time to have a look at swopping our gas bbq for a Cobb. Still love my halogen tho!

Another big cobb fan here, they take a bit of getting used too with getting them up to temp, cooking times etc, but once you have the hang of it, they are so versatile.

As someone said, don't open the lid too often and the biggest aid to that is a thermometer to stick in the top. If you can cook in an oven you can use a cobb, I just adjust cooking times according to what the thermometer is telling me.

A few of us have put a few tips on the cobblestones thread.

Have never used a halogen oven, but then we hve never had an EHU.

The only thing I dislike is cleaning the thing, but then I cook in the moat a lot and so like it clean each time, a friend of mine never cooks in the moat and I don't think he has ever cleaned the bottom pan properly.

Mine gets the Mr Muscle oven cleaner and dishwasher treatment when we get home.

Now don't get me wrong you can do pretty much the same things in a normal kettle B-B-Q and we roast much bigger joints at home in the webber, but the cobb is so compact and versatile and to be honest part of what I like is the actual design aspect of the thing.

From a personal point of view I would say you definitely need one
