A great idea (gas powered of course), excellent for a good sizzle of meat or freshly caught fish without stinking out the cabin!

I've just ordered a Cobbs BBQ having seen one on a friend's boat.

Re: BBQ\'s onboard
I have one and use it from time to time. Great on a hot day.
However, it can cause some confusion, I was slaving away over one on one occasion and there was a deal of smoke (caused by the arromatic wood shavings I had added to the gas BBQ) this caused someone to row over with an extinguisher thinking that the boat was alight! - he went away with a large sausage in a bap for his trouble /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have a bbq on the deck and everytime I fire it up someone comes running over to see if we need help. At first I thought what considerate neighbours but after a few of them stayed for beer and steak I am trying to disguise it.

Where did you order it from? That website only seems to cater for US/Canadians unless I missed something...

Cost price to me as my son is Director of a caravan centre.
Nauticalia do them (probably one of the few good things they do!). See it on their web-site (or try a caravan dealer?)
Happy BBQ'ing!!

Re: BBQ\'s onboard
Put your Tesco's bbq on a brick and then put it on your top-deck . Light the bbq and then tell us what your top-deck is like after the heat has gone through the brick. (give it about 40 minutes) /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A bit of DIY bracket making and a bag of charcoal is all you need. Fifteen quid from the local cheapo supermarket...

Experience gained on the Thames river bank. You can buy a metal cradle which keeps the tray off the ground so it doesn't burn the grass.
Also on the pontoons on the way to Chi. Used bricks; had water buckets to hand- heat via the bricks burnt the pontoon. Slipped early in the morning before the h'master was up and doing his rounds.

Bit off subject, but you don't appear to have any rudder stops on your Stag. Broken a rudder yet?

Re: BBQ\'s onboard
No, no breakages yet. The rudder stops are actually on the rudder, just above the upper pintle. As I understand it the rudder has also been re-inforced at the waterline, which is where they tend to break off aparently. It gets a very close inspection fairly frequently.

I inspected a broken one recently and as you suggest the break was at the waterline. It was on our previous boat and the 2nd rudder to go to my knowledge. No stops fitted. Reefing in good time and keeping the boat in balance seems to be a good antidote.
It was always my weak-link fear throughout the time we owned her. One of our regular crew built Stags at Emsworth and reckons the rudder stops made all the difference.
BTW, was captain birdseye next to you friendly? Looks like he's got the world on his shoulders.

Re: BBQ\'s onboard
We use a Cobb, very efficient and a bit more versatile than normal barbecue. I especially like the idea of being able to steam the food in beer fumes!
Ours came as hand luggage when our son last visited from Oz, but I notice they are now available from Lakeland.
