Cobb BBQ
Introducing the incredibly
portable Cobb BBQ
Take a look at the highly versatile Cobb
Portable
Grill and Cooking System. Weighing only 8.5 lbs., the heat
efficient
Cobb Grill uses only 8 – 10 charcoal briquettes for a heat-sustained
cooking period of up to three hours.
The Cobb BBQ Cooking System
is a portable barbeque and grill in a league of its own.
Unlike
other portable cooking systems, the
Cobb Grill can roast, bake, smoke. saute and fry (even bake a decent
sized pizza) while the innovative cool-touch base makes the Cobb bbq
truly portable.
Don’t let the small design fool you, the
cobb grill can easily cook for a family of 4 to 6.
The Cobb bbq reaches over 500 degrees
inside, while the base is completely cool
outside. Whether your liking is for lamb and turkey or fish
and
vegetables, the Cobb bbq takes care of your meal with gusto and cooks
it to perfection.
Here is a breakdown of the
Cobb premier unit (excluding accessories)

baking and smoking. A lifting fork is provided for handling the grill

 So
how well does the Cobb bbq perform ?
Well
what can I say, impressed or what, from opening the box to setting up
the Cobb ready to ignite the charcoal was simply a matter of seconds,
there is no bother of having to build a stand or ensuring it is facing
in the right direction to avoid the wind, you simple take the lid off,
remove the grill grid, remove the fire grid and insert the lighters.
Light them up and replace the fire grill loaded with your charcoal and
leave to burn for around 20 minutes, it is best to do this bit outside
or in a well ventilated area as it gives off some smoke, once the
charcoals are grey in colour you can bring the Cobb back inside (still
in a ventilated area) but the cooking gives off no more smoke than you
would get if cooking normally.
I
cooked an array of dishes from the cook book that is available -
Cooking the Cobb Way including roasting a 1.5kg chicken (that
is about the biggest that will fit), through to smoking fish and of
course using it as a bog standard BBQ. The meat came out crispy on the
outside and succulent on the inside and because the fat drips into the
moat it is even quite healthy. I used the moat to cook my veggies in
and they came out very tasty too.
Being
able to cook almost smoke free inside is a real bonus and with the
casing never getting hot and the feet keeping the Cobb off the ground
or table, you are safe to cook pretty much anywhere you like, I used it
on our wooden table and no damage was caused at all.
I
did find that the more I kept checking the food, the longer it took to
cook, so patience lessons for me, not that you need much patience with
the Cobb BBQ, this has to be one of the greatest and most essential
bits of outdoor equipment there is on the market. The
efficiency that is provided by the Cobb BBQ is amazing, 3 hours cooking
time with just 8 or so briquettes is almost as cheap as cooking at home
in the oven.
Over
the years I have spent plenty of money buying BBQ after BBQ and always
ending up throwing them away or storing them in the garage because they
are too small for the family, or too big for the trailer tent, but Cobb
may have come up with the solution, a one-off investment for a BBQ that
will stand the test of time and provide long cooking times with minimal
fuss and cost and which only weighs 4KG. This is definitely a huge
thumbs up for the Cobb BBQ. (Caution, charcoal gives off Carbon
Monoxide which can be fatal, please ensure that if using this product
inside you have good ventilation to allow the carbon monoxide to
disperse.) |

Incredible
portability with the Cobb bbq
The
Cobb came with a bag for it to go in that's very sturdy (it depends on
the package you buy as to whether the bag is included. I recommend you
get it). If you're going to move it as soon as you've finished cooking
though because the lid will be hot it can't go straight back into the
bag. I haven't found this to be much of an issue.
Before going
on a trip I always split heat beads and firelighters into contents
bags, each with 8 heatbeads and 2 firelighters, enough for 1 cooking
session. You can get 10 or so of these bags packed into the Cobb in its
bag.
I haven't tried cooking with the Cobb in the canoe yet, but
on a still day I think you easily could. I think I'd put it on a seat
rather than on the bottom of the canoe while it was flaming so that the
flames wouldn't blow into the side of the canoe. You could then move it
into the bottom of the canoe once its ready to cook. You'd also need to
make sure there was somewhere safe to put the hot lit while you tend to
the food, or to be on the safe side cook without it.
