COBB Outdoor BBQ / Oven - FULL Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- Heard of COBB before? Here we review the most excellent outdoor oven / BBQ that is quite unique and perfect for a Campervan or Motorhome. We put the COBB through its paces as both oven and BBQ to see how it performs.
Though a Cob was bread? From up North and thought a Cobb on was a rage? Think again the COBB oven is a great multi purpose cooker for the great outdoors!

They have a rotisserie attachment besides a special rack for cooking a chicken. The extra ring from the latter can be placed around outside of lid to help with heat retention in the Cobb.
Great Video!!! As far as cleaning...just line the moat with foil or buy their foil liners :)
Thank you, we didn't realise they had these 🥰 make such a difference, someone suggested tin foil as an alternative too 👍🏼
30 sec in I was loving the banter...Have been using a cobb for years, your review is spot on 👌
Thank you 🥰 Welcome to our channel, hopefully you will find a similar theme to our videos 🤣
Great video! Greetings from Los Angeles, mate!
FANTASTIC REVIEW!!! Really informative, very helpful thanks!!!!
Thanks Chris, glad you found it useful 😁👍
Brilliant video. Ive been thinking of buying a Cobb, and will definitely now, after seeing this. Thank you
Thank you Karen, glad you found it useful and thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰
Looks a great piece of kit. Hope you enjoy Scotland. We are looking forward to your next vlog. In Altnaharra great scenery and a great road trip.
Ooooh that's a bit further up than we managed but sounds perfect! We are hoping to get up there later in the year... 😁 thank you, we are literally just back so hoping to bring at least part 1 next week 👍 🥰
We got ours in New Zealand 7 years ago, re the moat getting grubby get over it if your away a week get dow to a beach use some sand and water if your stressed if not get home and drop it in a plastic bowl soak it for a day with a dishwasher tablet in hot water then run it through the dishwasher on hot no probs, you forgot once you've cooked pop in a rice pudding... best rice pud ever!
The only limits to a cobb are your imagination, we've done lobster, scollops, beef, lamb, chicken, pizza, cakes.... there's only one problem the food is so tasty it's easy to eat toooooo much!
Thanks for the salt water tip that's a great idea will try that 👍😁
Had a Cobb for about 10 years and have always cleaned it with a paste made from some of the ash and water. Keeps the moat and lid spotless.
Oh thanks Helen that's brilliant we will try that, great idea as you always have it with you too - thanks so much 🥰 😁👍
there are aluminium liners for the moat!
Easy respectively no cleaning ;-)
Thank you, we didn't realise they are so much easier to use! 🥰👍🏼
What a cracking bit of kit. Always been reluctant to buy a cadac as think gas BBQ’s are cheating. Such a well presented video. Thank you for sharing your birthday present 😊
Thank you very much, glad you liked it 🥰 yes know exactly what you mean, gas is too much like cooking at home we like to make fire 🔥 😂😁👍
It's called a Cobb because the original invention from South Africa was made to run on dried corn cobbs which were readily accessible in remote villiges there.
Australian heat beads are my fuel of choice. What doesn't burn, throw some water over them and you can reuse whats left. Had to order a new roasting rack after a dog in Spain legged it with ours after doing ribs on it! For chicken, use a tin foil dish to cook in, helps keep the moat clean. Just ordered a rotisserie for ours. Can you tell, I ❤ ours.
Looks a good bit of kit, the only issue is the cleaning as you point out, great review, keep em coming guys
Thanks very much Peter, really appreciate that 🥰😁👍
It is a pain to clean the "moat" but I now use a samgypsal stainless steel two part system designed to be used on the small gas stoves. It has it's own fat trap and is much easier to clean than the cobb and fits perfectly with the roasting rack and the dome. I smoked a brisket using it yesterday and it was superb.
Great video, ps I have a Smokey joe weber and I drilled mine. I found the airflow is very poor. I used a stepped drill bit, pressed out some steel and essentially made 2 replicas of the weber vents which I bolted on lower down the body. Best thing is you can shut the vents to extinguish the coals so you can use it and cool it down quite quickly. I’ve been contemplating a cobb as well and your video was most helpful.
That's David, glad you found the video helpful and also thanks for the idea with drilling the Webber, same issue as you it does need more ventilation holes 👍
Pink stuff paste works great, no hassle wipes straight off.
Ohhhh thank you, that’s a great tip we didn’t think of that! Not used it before but funnily enough we were looking at a big tub last weekend in a shop as someone in the shop was recommending it 😁 Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍
Hey Iain, simple solution to cleaning the Cobb. Whenever I use my Weber I always line the fat dripping area by lining it with tin foil. Perhaps you could line the inside trough with some too. When it cools down all the fat should have solidified and easy to remove. John.
Thanks John that's a great suggestion, we hadn't tried this before but it makes perfect sense so thank you 👍😁
@@VantasticAdventures no problem at all Iain. I got so hacked off with charcoaled fat at the bottom of my Weber, so bad it made food taste burnt. Shoving foil under the meat is a massive improvement and (double whammy!) it takes seconds to remove the foil. Happy hols to you and Caroline. Great vids and I’ll be posting some myself when I buy an Adventure 65. Keep em comin buddy. John. 👍
Thank you we will definitely try that, it will also help cooking space as Caroline is vegetarian 👍😁 The Adventure is a great van, you won't be disappointed - todays video is at one of our favourite locations so far in Altnaharra where we tested it off grid 🥰
Ian (iain?? ) cant remember spelling. Thanx for the video. Great. Ordered a Cobb premier Air today, I'm In Australia. Ex S'African. Also found out that it originated there :-) a good option I saw while researching for cleaning is alumiium foil disposible tray.
Cheers Kev, glad you found the video useful and hope you enjoy the Cobb, you are in the perfect place to use it 🙂 Thanks for the tip on the foils, they do look much easier to manage the clean up and someone also recommended using tin foil to line it with. They are really well made and hope you enjoy as much as we do 👍
@@VantasticAdventures ordered a pack of 6 foils today myself. Cooked twice on the weeekend and cleaning was a real chore :-(
Oh no! Did the foils not work? You can put the parts in the dishwasher too if it helps, we do that sometimes 👍
@@VantasticAdventures they worked great, much better. i'll stick to water in the moat though or nothing so I can do veggies and spuds. Beer bakes thick and hard and I had to dump the foil. I like using them a few times. They are not cheap :-)
Ooh beer sounds a great idea but guess the sugar in it doesn't help the cleaning 👍 someone recommended making your own liner from tin foil too to keep the cost down, we haven't tried that yet though 😁
Great review, i have just brought one for my fishing trips and was wondering did you pre boil the veg and also how long did you need to cook the veg as well, cheers.
Thanks Wayne 🥰👍 We didn't pre cook the veg, everything went on the COBB, just cleaned and added the veg a bit later so it didn't burn. It was around 45 mins cooking time and they came out how we like them but definitely worth experimenting to get it to your own personal taste. The veg were very tasty too 😋👌
Brilliant review, I’m going to look at this system! We don’t use our oven either, I don’t like the smell or how long it takes to cook. It’s now used as a storage area, mainly alcohol as a wine box fits in easily🤣
Whereabouts do you store the Cobb in your van?
Ooh ha ha love that in idea for wine storage 😂👍 what a Brilliant idea! Thanks Sam glad you liked it 🥰 We keep it in the bag it comes with between the rear lounge seats when travelling and then it lives outside when set up for camping although it would easily fit in the bathroom for travelling or actually under the rear passenger seat but that's currently Mollie's store cupboard for her food, accessories and millions of toys 😬 🐕 😂
@@VantasticAdventures our passenger seat cupboard is the dog food, accessories and toy store too, amongst the other things that are stored in there too 😀
Great! Never seen them before. How much do they weigh?
Thank you 🥰 3.8kg for the COBB itself and the roasting rack is around 500g so nice and light 👍😁 p.s. we are currently away and experiencing your challenges finding a decent 4g signal 😂 can't get our daily fix of RUclips 😂
You can buy a throwaway foil liner to use as the moat.
Thank you Laura, can’t believe we didn’t think of this! It will make it so much easier to use, thank you very much appreciated 🥰👍
Vantastic Adventures funny...I don't even have one but was checking them out on the Cobb site and saw them..lol
When did Boris start reviewing bbqs 😂
He has to make money now somehow, all those kids to pay for 😉
The solution to the cleaning of the moat is either line it with foil or there are liners that Cobb sells as an accessory. Makes clean up so much easier. Hope this helps you 😊
Ah that's brilliant! Thanks so much we didn't realise they sold liners, we will check that out - would make it so much easier to clean when travelling 😁👍👍👍 Thank you for watching and your help 🥰
@@VantasticAdventures my pleasure! I live in United States and absolutely LOVE my Cobb too! I enjoy watching you and yours travel. Safe travels on all your adventures 😊
COBB inner sleeves. They come in a pack of six. Life savers for clean up. Tried to send link but can’t do it on my phone. 🤦🏻♀️
@@gagags1115 thank you so much we have been searching for them online this afternoon along with some of our viewers who also said thanks so much for your comments 🥰👍😁
Thank you so much, we are very privileged to have you as a viewer from the United States, in fact our first 🥰👍 thanks for watching and your comments we really appreciate it 😁
I asked Coral, if I could have one and she got a cobb-on LOL
Ha ha excellent someone else who understands a Cobb on 😂😂😂 👏😁👍
Use a foil liiner inside your cob! 🤗
Thank you Mark 🥰 Can’t believe we didn’t think of this or see it on their website, makes perfect sense and would have saved hours of cleaning 😂 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😁👍
Get her indoors to do the cleaning 😊
Will clean in dishwashe
Thanks Charles, we did give this a try but not sure on a hot enough setting, guessing it will clean up on the heavy / highest setting or do you need to use any special detergent? 😁👍
Not sure but if it withstands the heat of cooking should not be a problem, only going on what I read in the sales patter
@@charlesgardner8091 thank you, will give that a try on the highest setting, we only used a quick wash so definitely worth a try 👍😁
Just going to order one
Ah fantastic 😁 hope you find it as useful as we do, it changed what we can cook outdoors 👍
i line mine with tin foil when i go fishing
Thank you that's a great tip, we always have Tin foil in the van too, it will make it so much easier to clean up 👍😁
2 minutes in and "bit of kit" has been uttered 20 times. geez.
Yeah sorry about that, fair point well made - we noticed quite a lot of repetition in a few videos recently so working to increase vocabulary or get better at editing 😂 Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍😁
