COBB BARBECUE GRILL REVIEW
We were recently sent the COBB CHARCOAL BARBECUE GRILL by the lovely folks at Lakeland! Our instant reaction was Omg Omg.. and we totally loved the incredibly versatile portable barbecue from Cobb. It is primarily a barbecue that can also grill, bake, fry and roast too. One of the nicest things to have when friends & family are around. Yes, it is ideal to cook for two and four people, but it also depends on what are you cooking in it.
We made Vegetable Skewers, foil packet dirty Fries and some burgers when our friends came around. Along with that, we had the chance to cook this really delicious CAMPFIRE POTATOES RECIPE IN A FOIL PACKETS WITH CHEESE AND ONIONS too.
This charcoal barbecue takes roughly 20 - 25 minutes to achieve the cooking temperature and the 9 charcoal briquettes will burn for nearly two and a half to three hours. The handy lifting tool provided is absolutely convenient for moving the grill plate and the charcoal basket.
I spoke to a few friends and they can vouch on this Cobb oven for several years and would not camp without it. Isn't that marvellous! I just cannot wait to carry them along to my next camping trip.
Some of the features we particularly love about this Cobb barbecue grill are
Assembly -It is extremely easily to assemble and stow away too.
Smokeless - There is absolutely no smoke that comes out while cooking! Our friends sitting next to the barbecue grill said - oh did you realise this barbecue does not smell or sends out any smoke? Probably this is one of the best features!
Stay Cool Base - We have moved the barbecue grill across our garden when our potatoes have been cooking .Thanks to the stay cool base, it is absolutely easy as the base doesn't heat up. Place them on grass , tabletop - literally anywhere outdoor.
Easy to transport - This bbq grill weights just 3.8 kg and it comes with a carry bag. Extremely easy to transport.
Cleaning - It is mainly stainless steel and the bowl, dome and the grill are dishwasher safe. It was easy to clean and pack it away in the bag too.
Let me put my rant to a hard stop and share with you more about these delicious foil packet potatoes.
