Is this the same one as Lakeland Ltd. The price is so much cheaper tham Lakeland.

Thanks

Paula

bump: some people have had this one from lakeland.some one should be along soon

I think these are the old style ones with solid sides, the ones from Lakeland are the latest model with mesh sides. But hey what do I know I've never bought or used a Cobb, so I could be wrong.

It looks a very good price tho'.

The one from lakeland comes with bag, recipe book, and rack. Parents brought one from Lakeland 2 weeks ago, and it was the old plastic (better!) bottomed one. The silver grill plates must be very easy to clean, as I have the coated one and it only takes a minute to clean, even when it has been used for hours, and been left for days.

Thank you!

So have I got this right:-

The original version as being sold by BBQ Warehouse has plastic bottom but the grill plates are silver coloured and very difficult to clean

Mark 2 is the one being sold by Lakeland, plastic bottom still but non-stick grill plate

Mark 3 is the new fancy one shown on the website with mesh sides which make the food take longer to cook 'cos it lets air in

??????????????????

So it's a Lakeland one I need when I've saved my pennies?

Hi Caz
Sure you have got it right,do you think they changed to the mesh sides for a particular reason or is is just designer chic. Seems daft if it takes longer to cook. My grill plates are silver coloured, I usually lightly oil them before cooking and if necessary use a scouring pad after.

A while ago, there were a couple of posts about the older models melting. Judging by the number of cobbs around & the low number of reports of this happening I would  not have thought that its anything to be alarmed about. This is a guess but maybe the change to steel mesh casing was to resolve this problem.

I have one of the newer ones & I thought that I might be doing something wrong as things did seem to take longer than the recipes said they should.  I'll use 10 heat beads in future & try to shield it from wind as much as possible.

Nearly Caz .......... mine is older one from the Cobb man ....... black grill plate - non stick, but not as good as the newer ones xylan coating I think it's called ...... could be mk2/3/4  - don't know - just know it sticks now   even when greased  

The solid black from the Cobb man and Lakeland are really good non stick .........
