COBB® BARBECUE COOKING SYSTEM?

[tanglefoot]

I tried out the Cobb in Cornwall last week....got everything wrong.
1. Did not put in the drip tray thing so dripping fat created a lot of smoke, which naturally blew straight into the awning.
2. The piece of lamb was burnt to a crisp but we managed to salvage a couple of fork-fulls.
3. So eager to start cooking so did not wait for the charcoal block to turn grey, adding to smoke.
4. So I fitted the drip tray thing and put on some pork ribs...cooked perfectly...daughter had three...she put the plate down to have a drink and a dirty great seagull promptly pinched two of them and swallowed them whole, bone and all. Ahhh, don't we just love the feathered people?
Other than that we had one sunny day and four of rain.

Motto for today is "Do not be a know-it-all and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST"
