I have a Cobb Premier Air that I bought when I switched unit from a tent to a PVC van, as my trusted Weber Go Anywhere BBQ was too big for one person and cumbersome to dug out from the under-seat storage in the van.
Got a Cobb BBQ Kit right away so that I could use the Cobb as a BBQ.
I don't like using the standard non-stick grill plate as I found it to cook too slow for my liking.
I also have the roasting rack which I bought to see if it would work as an alternative to the BBQ plate which was a PITA to clean. However, I did not have a very good result, which could be attributed to old briquettes being used at the time.
I shall repeat using the roasting rack as a BBQ to see if I get a better result now that I am using a new bag of charcoal briquettes.
While in the Netherlands, I saw and bought a Cobb kettle from the Karsten shop that I had lusted after since 2021 when I bought my Cobb. It worked very well as a charcoal funnel too!
I just bought a Cobb Frying Dish so that I could cook wet food like stews, curries, rice and noodle etc., as well as stir-frying pre-marinated beef strips that I made in bulk, packed in individual serving portions under vacuum before freezing. This will provide more variations to BBQs.
My Cobb kit is now complete for the rare opportunities when I go off-grid for a day or two without EHU, cooking wise; just need to remember to carry sufficient charcoal briquettes!

Once you get used to roasting, you will find it is one of the best uses of a Cobb. If I am cooking something like a whole chicken, I use heat beads because they last longer and the heat is not as fierce.
I agree, the kettle is very handy, use it to rapidly get the briquettes up to temperature at the same time as boiling water for a brew.
Be aware, Cobb cooking becomes addictive. When you find yourself cooking cakes and pies, you know you are addicted.
