Today was an awesome day of starting to actually buy some of the 'wish list' items  for our motorhome.

Since we are 6-days and counting from picking it up, we figured we better start down the list. I guess we are realizing this is actually going to happen!!

We have our eye on this grill at Lowe's and went out today and picked it up.

I'm a systems analyst by trade so always have to analyse my options ad nauseum so I hope this holds up to its reviews and comparison shopping.

Our next three years working up to a more full time lifestyle will include 12 weeks out of the year following my son playing football for Eastern Illinois University (Tony Romo's alma mater). My intent is that this grill will handle our tailgate events with the large cauldrons of soup or lots of burgers but at the same time work well for sausage and pancakes at the campsite.

Ken intends to hook it directly to the lp gas tank in the Sportscoach.  He's been told by our dealer, no problem.  I assume this is the common way to do gas grills with motorhomes...yah???

Has anyone seen this grill out and about? Heard anyone with one talking about it?

Hugs, C

Congrats! The accessory buying binge is a whole lot of FUN!

I have not seen your grill choice in action. For high volume tailgate grilling you might have a winner - for that phase of your RVing. Afterwards, your grilling needs might change. It looks to be a very "clean line" design showing you have done the homework. For me, portability, or should I say RVability was my most important grill criteria. To me this meant foldable like a suitcase with no legs/parts/etc extending from the exterior of the package, no briquettes/lava rock/loose ceramic burner materials, rustproof construction (aluminum or stainless steel) and a true fold-n-go design.

I found this BBQ Grillware model at Lowes as well (for only $89 believe it or not) to meet my definitions above. Though TOO small to entertain with, this completely stainless steel package clamps together with totally clean exterior lines in the form a small suitcase, has nothing on the exterior to catch/scratch/rip stuff stored next to it, has a completely stainless steel burner (meaning nothing falls out when tipped or stored upside down) and best of all beats every other similar "RV" model in price by a country mile. And it's available at your local Lowes hardware store.


I added a propane quick connect fitting like this to my rig meaning I just open the grill and click its hose onto the propane line and I'm ready to grill. I also added a gas shut off valve similar to this one at the quick connect fitting as I don't trust the quick connect to maintain a gas proof seal in an RV environment.

We have the 2 burner one and have the BBQ box and grill accessories as well. We love ours. My husband loves to fish and we do fish frys alot with ours. We also have started making homemade french fries again (maybe not such a good thing but good to eat) and we love it for that as well. I thinkyou will really enjoy it. Betty

I am ordering the Cobb BBQ, have done quite abit of research. Just dont like the propane taste. I prefer the use of charcoal or bricquets. This uses 6-8 only. The patent is from overseas. Has anyone tried it? Thanks, Kelly

we've had our Cobb since last November and like the size.  I also purchased the wok so we could cook more outside.

it's fast and efficient!

Thanks Fred, I sent you an email, Kelly

Just a note on quick disconnects.  The cut off valve is necesarry because on the road they will leak slightly.  Also make sure that if they are mounted so that they are exposed to the elements that you cap them because dirt and junk seems to gravitate towards LP connections.  We wouldn't want your BBQ messed up with dirt sent up the control valve from a dirty QD.  Been there and done that.

The Grill is one of our favorite accessories.
Have fun.
