Cobb Briketts

Cobbs are a brilliant piece of kit, and these make it work really well. Easy to light, and just leaves a clean sandy ash when burnt out.

They are expensive but really good. You get smoke for 5 minutes and then you’re good to go. I’ve found that I need a charcoal lighter thing to get them going, forget throwing a match on there. I’ve also used half a dozen briquettes instead and they do a great job on the cobb, it just takes longer to get them going as you would expect. Personally, I will use the cobblestones when I can’t be bothered waiting for briquettes to get going, but briquettes are by far the best value for money. It’s also very rare that we ever need a two hour burn time. Maybe they should slim them down to one hour and half the price?! As if!

E' la prima volta che acquisto le ricariche del Cobbs su Amazon convinto cha alla fine le fossero tutte uguali sia se prese su Amazon sia che prese altrove. Invece ho avuto subito, soppesando la confezione, l'impressione che la qualità delle ricariche fosse inferiore rispetto a quelle che ho usato sin'ora. In effetti ho l'impressione che durino di meno. Vero anche che difficilmente effettuo cotture troppo lunghe quindi comunque queste ricariche hanno fatto il loro lavoro. Non sò però se la prossima volta riconfermerò l'acquisto con questo canale.

The main reason I got these is for ease of lighting which they are fantastic and will be fully lit generally within 2 minutes, but the best thing is that there is no smoke in the process.

I’ll keep this simple. I hated having to deal with propane and prefer the flavor of charcoal. I also cook small meals and it seems like a waste to stack charcoal, pour on the fuel and then wait 30 minutes to start cooking. These Cobb stones work perfectly. They light up and spread almost like a fuse. It’s fascinating to watch. Within 5-10 minutes they are ready to cook and last for two freakin hours! The only thing I don’t like is the price per stone, roughly $5 each, which is a lot when cooking for one. But the convenience makes up for it.
