Never used it for fishing but for when I go away with the family I use a Gas Webber Q BBQ. It runs of the same C500 cannisters a normal stove works off and packs down quite small. It cost us around £250 but we have had it years and still going strong. The 2 side tables fold in for transport but it still has a cast plate which fits around 8 burgers at a time. Other great thing is you can close the lid and it cooks using a combination of BBQ and Oven for faster times.

A mate has one it's bulky but he leaves it in his Van.
You can cook a heap load on it, easily using 5kg of CharCoal.

Ive got a Cadac and a Cobb
The Cobb is amazing especially in the winter and Ive done roasts and all sorts on it ... And it the summer its great for a social
The cadac is good but for BBQ its just a gas BBQ although Ive done some decent currys on mine using it as a stove

My friend gave me a folding one years ago from Homebase it opens up to about 12” square and folds flat to about 30mm great little bbq that's good enough for me.

I also line it with tin foil as it makes it so much easier in the morning to just lift the foil out with no mess 👍

The Cobb is very good too.

My food on the bank has changed markedly since I got one.

to me a BBQ is shyte UNLESS its got a lid

I learnt this after watching a tv program about BBQ in Australia when the guy could not believe people used them without a lid ?
what he demonstrated made a lot of sense
so I tried cooking some expensive quality burgers 2 without using the lid then the next two with the lid closed both me and my pal agreed the burgers cooked with the lid shut were a 100 times better tender juicy and properly cooked not dried outsides just ruddy marvellous since then I proved it to so many people


As the saying goes, “if you are looking, you are not cooking” always rings true when BBQ'ing. Don't see point in a gas GRILL (BBQ has to use wood or charcoal to be called a BBQ) as may as well just use your normal gas stove & a frying pan!

The Cobb Premier is fantastic & as someone that does a lot of BBQ - both Low & Slow as well as Direct Heat Grilling - at home & on the bank, the Cobb is by far the most economical BBQ I have used with regards to how long the charcoal lasts. Can cook a whole roast on 5 standard charcoal briquettes.

I have also found that the better quality briquettes you use, the better results all round. I use McBrikett Koko Egg briquettes that a very good friend of mine who travels around Europe & occasionally the States for some of the bigger events, for competitive KCBS BBQ competitions (whole Briskets, pork shoulders, Ribs & Chicken pieces) recommended to me. A 12” x 12” zip loc bag of these briquettes lasts me 72 hours on the bank with just a few “shredded wheat” type natural firefighters in a small tub to get things started.

The Cobbs look good, but quite a lot of messing about for a bit of grub while fishing.

I'm waiting for the Delkim microwave.

A lot of people say a BBQ has to be charcoal and not gas but it turns out thats a load of old cobblers !!
what they did was get a panel of food critics they blind tasted a variety of meats cooked on a gas BBQ and traditional charcoal
the results they could not tell which was which ! its the juices of whatever meat your cooking drops on the heat source your cooking and the smoking imparts that BBQ flavour

as both gas and Charcoal is odourless so basically its all in the mind and an old wives tail mate


I sold my Cobb Premier and bought the Air best fuel I have used is without question this >>LINKY POO

tried Webber briquettes, Cobblestones ,heatbeads and the very best as in the link
and the great thing is when you finished cooking lift out any unburnt tubes drop em in water and when you dried them you can use em again

stand them up mate


found this helpful info on the net
Briquette Tubes normally appear under the description Restaurant Quality Tandoori Briquettes. They are extruded, pushed through dies in the same way that pasta is made. They come as long tubes that you can cut to suitable size so that they can be stood upright in the Cobb Firebasket like their own mini chimneys. Two main brands: Ouse Valley from Amazon, and Big K from Hotsmoked. Both come as “10kg Box”, which is the shipping weight, i.e. you will get about 9.2kg of briquettes. It's a significant outlay, but you don't need much:

3cm burns about 3 hours, and 5cm about 5 hours.
