Re: The perfect travel grill ??

Tell me why the Cobb is not best?

Really thought the size was great, unique style, etc....

Carl,

For me the form factor of the Cobb is not right; we would have a harder time storing and carrying something with those dimensions. It also does not look like it would work well with an open fire, or a dutch oven, or multiple cooking containers....

Re: The perfect travel grill ??

Just tried out our new Cobb on two different trips. First time forgot the charcoal so tried using wood coals. Seemed to cook very slowly that try. Was not happy with results. Last night tried it again with mesquite charcoal. Again, it really didn't get hot enough for classic barbecuing. I'm sure I could make it work for me but it is a bit bulky and my romance with charcoal is over. I plan to revert to my clunky little propane weber. It folds up quite small and stuffed in a paper bag the nasties will stay where they belong.

Look at http://www.sotooutdoors.com for the table top duel grill it is by far the best tool for camping I have found. Both a BBQ grill and fire pan the size of a dutch oven.

Re: The perfect travel grill ??

Not sure, but this might be a Today Only kind of deal on Woot, but they also have specific quantities, so they may sell out sooner. [Today is 16 July]

Cobb Portable Stainless Steel Grill & Smoker
$79.99 + $5 shipping


http://sellout.woot.com/sale/cobb-conve ... dium=email

Also, according to Woot
"sign up for a Cobb account and get yourself 50% off all Cobb Grill Accessories if you go to their website and use the promo code wootdeal1 before July 23."

Here's their website for accessories:

Thanks. Never used Woot before, but I have been looking at the Cobb so went ahead and took the plunge. The 50% discount coupon code does indeed work at Cobbq for the accessories as well.

Glad someone scored a good deal off this. I thought about it, but I need to reduce the number of cooking appliances I have, not add one to my collection. Seemed like a good price on the grill, and maybe even better on the accessories.

Be sure to let us know how you like it.

Re: The perfect travel grill ??

I've been using a notebook grill like this for 3 or 4 years. It's cheap, folds to about and inch thick, and stores easily. I've even built small campfires in it.

Still love my Coleman Fold'N'Go.



$70 w/case delivered from Amazon and fits perfectly in the side door cabinet.

Re: The perfect travel grill ??

What about butane stoves? (doesn't SMB sell one?)

I also saw a Coleman folding clamshell style that had 2 burners, one each side....
