How do the words "portable grill" make you feel? Do they make you think of a too small, messy, hard to light and even harder to cook with, poorly designed, waste-of-space grill? Me too! I've tried my share of those kinds of grills, looking for just the right model to take with me and use as a vacation grill, travel grill, fishing grill, hunting grill...
you get the picture.
Here's what I was looking for.
I was looking for a portable grill that was truly portable.
I wanted a grill that would be lightweight - preferably under ten pounds - and easy to store and carry.
Ideally, I wanted a grill that would stow in about the same amount of space as a bowling ball.
I also wanted a grill that would handle every kind of cooking chore I needed it for - steaming vegetables, smoking ribs, roasting chicken, grilling steaks or burgers, even pan-frying my eggs and sausage.
I wanted a portable grill that would have the necessary cooking prowess to turn out delicious meals with a minimum of fuss.
In other words, not too finicky, if you know what I mean.
I was also looking for a portable grill that wouldn't use a lot of charcoal.
Prices being what they are, the less charcoal used to cook my meals, the better.
That would also mean I wouldn't need to lug a lot of heavy bags of charcoal everywhere I went.
There's that portability thing again.
Finally, I wanted a portable grill that would be built to last, made of high-quality, durable stuff that gets ready to cook quickly and cleans and packs up just as fast.
It would be great if I could put the whole thing in the dishwasher when I got home.
The good news? I have found just such a portable grill.
It's name? The Cobb Portable Grill.
Briefly, let me tell you how the Cobb Grill meets or exceeds everything I was looking for.
It weighs just 8 and 1/2 lbs.
, and fits in about one sq.
ft.
of space.
It's made of stainless steel and aluminum, and all the cooking surfaces are teflon.
It handles every kind of cooking chore I have been able to think of, and more besides.
It has available accessories like a griddle, roasting rack, wok, and frying pan.
And, the Cobb Portable Grill is hyper-efficient, burning over two hours on only a few (8-10) charcoal briquettes.
Intrigued? I was, and if you are too, you can find out plenty more about the Cobb Portable Grill, and even pick up a sweet deal on one for yourself at portable grill
