So what's the difference between the Cobb pro to premier?

Pro is on special, good price!'

Does it get hot underneath or what's the difference?

And if it could even be upgraded later on? Mate cooking a charcoal roast on the table next to your chair by the fire while smashing beers... Pretty cool!

It looks like the only difference is a stainless base?

May be it dosen`t come with some of the accessories, but hey thats a great price.
I have a real early one which has a plastic base, use it all the time and even use it as a heater in the van (don`t start on safety in the van please ).
Tried the green fuel stuff but found they were no match for top quality heat beads.
We have all the accessories and find that they all do there jobs well.

Yep I just bought it, price is excellent!

I'll use it at home all the time too and solo trips rather then carrying burners and bottles, happy days!

Stropp or anyone else who owns a cobb, have you ever used coals from the camp fire to put in the Cobb?

I understand it won't be as dense as briquettes for roasting but maybe for a brekky bacon and eggs or stir fry, steaks etc?

Have never thought about trying coals AB as there is not a large area to put them in, give it a try and let us know.
I think that if you had some good hard wood coals it may work, but you may end up with smokey bacon.

I've just put the leg of lamb on the cobb with veg, my first roast on the cobb!

It's 1.1 kg so normal oven would be a bit over an hour or so.

Everyone on the web says 2 hours and it won't go dry, you can cook as long as you want etc but I have experienced dry roast on Darren's cobb when we over did it.

Has anyone cooked a kg of lamb on their Cobb and time advice?

From memory it takes 4 beers, 3 101proof on rocks and a bottle of red! Maybe the bottle of red was what made it too dry.....

I've cooked many a leg of lamp on my Cobb. I have the first model they made about 10 years ago, the one with the black base. I've since up-graded it by changing the base to the stainless steel model. After many years of experimenting with various heat sources, I've found the odorless heat beads the best of the lot. With the biggest leg you can fit, I found 10 heat beads are the perfect amount. This will give you over two hours of consistent heat. Remember to quickly turn it over at about half cooked and don't keep "checking" it as you will loose heat.. I've found that as long as you have added fluid to the "moat", about 1.5 hours ( + or - ) gives you a tender leg of meat. Try using a 50/50 mix of a rough red wine & garlic cloves in the moat ..... delicious.
