We've tried;

Cadac Safari chef - difficult to clean and don't seem to get hot enough.
Weber Smokey Joe - too inflexible, messy and often not allowed on french camp sites.
so, this year we are trying the Weber 1200 on stands - flexible and easy to clean, but bulky to carry.
If this doesn't work out, I will try the Cobb - looks great, though not too sure about French camp sites and coals.

We've got a cobb and haven't come across a French campsite that hasn't let us use it inc the far south. It isn't as open flame and doesn't use much charcoal so isn't like a traditional BBQ in that respect and much less of a fire hazard.

I love the cobb and use it for everything when we're away - lots of jealous looks when I produce pizza and cake!

Another vote here for the Weber Go Anywhere charcoal BBQ. :-)

That's it, I'm getting a Cobb with my next wages! The idea of being able to bake a cake whilst away is amazing.

I often put an apple and blackberry crumble on the Cobb after cooking the main dish, cooks while you are eating your mains. I buy tinned Apple and blackberry and packet crumble and foil tray, really easy!

Hi all, very interested in what you're all cooking on your grills. UK BBQ is definitely more than sausages and burgers. I did a video recipe, simple but so tasty, it would be great to get some of the community feedback:

Quite excited about the Cobb. Especially the gas option.
We have been in France and told in NO uncertain terms that charcoal is out!

Gas was the only option, however my experience in the past of using disposable canisters is that the pressure drops off quite quickly and they can make cooking large volumes of food a testing time.

The Cobb uses disposable canisters. Does any one have experience of this?

We tend to choose very relaxed and small campsites so I think they tend to be a bit more flexible in what you can use for cooking. However, we've been allowed to use it on campsites that have said no BBQs - we have asked first! The reason I think it's alright is that it uses very little charcoal (around 8 briquettes for a roast) and it's all contained and covered so it's very unlikely a loose spark would get out.

Unlike OP's experience .. we've had a Cadac for three years now ... and swear by it.
The new BBQ design plate is easy to clean.
The Paella pan is a fantastic cooking item, and really easy to clean.
Never found any problem with the non stick surface wearing out ... it's all as it was when first unpacked.
The variety of stuff it can do is astonishing.
Yes, you'll end up with favourite bits that you'll use over and over ... but ours is used pretty well every day for seven weeks on hols and at home for BBQ's.
