This product is fun to use. It has so many different applications and does everything the advertising says it will. It is very easy to clean and the bag makes it easy to carry along. Hard to believe 8 briquetts can do so much!

First, be advised that this particular grill is the classic Model with the plastic base. It is often discounted, other places, below this price. The newest model is the Premier, with the steel mesh base.
That said, there is probably no difference in cooking between the two models.
The Cobb Grill is a wonderful invention that will automatically make you a BBQ Master. I've had mine for about 6 months now, and use it about once a week. Whole chickens, smoked, are wonderful, the best you've had. The built-in Moat keeps the chicken as moist as a 'Beer-Can Chicken' would. Just add your favorite liquid, from beer to broth, to water and a splash of Soy Sauce...it all works great. Smoked Tri-Tip is incredible, and ribs are the best I've ever eaten. I can't praise this little unit enough, and I don't even get paid for the lauding.
The Roasting Rack accessory, a small wire grill, is way overpriced, and any round little rack you can find at a thrift store will work fine. Or, you don't even need it: just turn the food once during cooking.
I made my own smoking box out of a small round tin candy can (Barns and Hayley?) by punching holes in the lid...a heavy duty aluminum foil pouch also works perfect.
The unit is big enough for a whole chicken, a pile of ribs (will do a whole rack if you chop it into 3rds and pile them up), a Tri-Tip or other roast...but will be small if you want to do 40 hamburgers for the crowd...tho you could keep cooking for a long time on those 8-12 briquets it uses....
Cheap to run, easy to use, great results every time. This little grill is one great invention.
Oh: Another well thought out feature is the carrying case...the designers actually made it big enough to comfortably carry the grill with ALL of its accessories stacked inside, AND you can pack your wood smoking chips, smoker, briquets and matches as well.
Best Deals for Cobb Classic Portable BBQ Grill and Smoker
We camp and grill out often, and over the years we've used up, burnt up, and destroyed many a so called portable grill. The Cobb Grill is proving to be the best design we've tried for portability, function and just plain good looks. It fits perfectly in it's very handy carrying case. It's shape makes it easy to pack in with all our camping gear. It can cook a meal for four people on a hand full of coal in no time at all. And the darn thing looks good. Did I mention it's a breeze to keep clean with it's no stick grill and stainless steel base. No problem emptying the coals when you done either, because the outside is covered with some space age plastic. It insulates and keeps the all the heat inside the body of the grill. This thing ought to be in the modern museum of art! In this grill functionality and form come together in a brilliantly executed design. If you like to grill the Cobb is a thrill!
