Pam and Jim, I just bought my own Cobb Cooker on the website. I actually called and spoke with Cobb. He told me the phone had been ringing off the hook with calls following your video. He was just tickled pink and had not known of you, but was thrilled with the response thanks to the two of you. He was so nice and had some great advice as to how to proceed with my purchase. His accent is amazing. I told him my hubby and I had seen the video and always trust the two of you. 🌹-Nora
We are happy that you were able to buy one of the grills after watching our video. Thanks for your very nice comments. Jim
They should refund their money and give it free to them for free advertising.
How much does it cost? Tia
You two people are so beautiful together. I just love it. Poor Jim is shy but you’re gently pushing him out of his comfort zone so he can spread his off grid wings!!!!! Just love it ❤
I could not stop smiling the entire video because of how you and Jim are together on camera, absolutely adorable 🥰
Seems like alot of negativity here. I have the means and space to make ways of cooking and baking without electricity, but if I lived in an apartment with just a small balcony, I would definitely pay attention to this. Also, if you go camping or should need to leave your home, this would be easy to pack and go. They are showing us options and I appreciate the heck out of that.
^this! I showed it to my daughter who is currently in grad school and living in an apartment
I do live in an apartment and I do need something like this and other things that there wonderful videos have taught
@@robins5880 is that not safe for inside with carbon monoxide????
@@click411 she has a balcony
@robins5880 Make sure she checks with the property owner, because some of them won't like you use charcoal on a balcony.
I have never seen these before, thank you for sharing!
So nice to see a South African product being used all over the world. Necessity is the mother of invention and here in South Africa we often need to get along without electricity and clean water so we have a good few tricks up our sleeves. Surviving emergencies is easier with camping equipment as well.
Everyone should have some means to cook off grid. You never know when the electrical power might go out, or gas may be shut off. Even if it is just to heat up water to have sterile water or a morning cup of coffee.
Oh, Ive been asked a time or two, if I was glad to no longer need to boil my water before using it. I usually said 'What'? I had no idea there was an advisary there had been a main water pipe rupture and the utilities suggested we boil our water for a week. It didn't seem to hurt me, that I know of to drink questionable municipal water. I drank my sister's cloudy creek water by mistake. Didn't hurt me.
It is a V E R R Y rare occasion that I'm not insulted by a commercial . These on the other hand make me smile ! And what they are promoting sounds like a truly great idea . Thanks from Ontario Canada .
Glad you liked it! Thank you.
its always so fun when Jim gets in front of the camera!
Thank you, Jim
I’ve had a Cobbs BBQ for over ten years. I originally bought it for camping then started using it a few times at home. I find that the flavour of food cooked on a charcoal BBQ is so much better than food cooked on propane or natural gas! I’ve never baked breads or treats in mine so I look forward to see what you cook in yours.
Australia, New Zealand & other countries are sooo much better at consumer goods for living off grid that the US. Cookers, showers, campers & all those necessities items. Thanks for sharing❤
Twenty two hours later you guys are at 300K subscribers! Congratulations!
Yes, we finally made it: 300,138 subscribers. Jim
Love this video with both of you! Recommend getting a 10” round pizza stone to use when baking the bread. I’ve found it helps even out hot spots and lessen the dark browning on the bottom of breads. I picked up mine on eBay
Brilliant sunshine.They do have one on the COBB web site but..for now it is out of stock. Thanks for the Amazon stone tip and the great baking tip using the stone.
I'm sure you have already covered this in a vlog somewhere, but to make it easier to find...please can Jim make a video for us on how to use charcoal. Best kind to buy, how to get it started, how many to dump in that chimney thing, best lighter starter to use and how to use it, etc. All the basics for those of us that have always depended upon someone else to take care of all this but now we are in the situation of needing to know & do ourselves. I know that some of this was covered in the why store charcoal video, so I will go watch it again. I recollect that video did give some guides as to how many brickets to use for different size pans. Edit, yes, the store charcoal video does explain how many brickets and the different types of brickets, which is best for different types of cooking. Thank you.
In the same vein, I don't even know how to use those propane bottle things but would not be so scared to give it a try if Jim can teach us.
Now that I have ordered the Cobb Cooker after watching your video, I don't know how to use the charcoal! I am wondering if there is a possibility of baking in a small dutch oven inside the Cobb Cooker for bread. Possible then to add a few brickets on top of a small dutch oven with the lid with the top rim. Please & Thanks, Janice
Glad you found the Cobb Cooker. I have enjoyed mine for 10+ years. Most especially I love that you can move it while it is cooking without gloves.
We agree. Jim
I love watching you two together in videos. You two joke around and its fun to see. Love your videos and thank you for the info. ♥
Thank you, Pam and Jim! I have never heard of this awesome grill! You both sold me on getting one! AND a GIANT Thank you to Jason @ Cobb, Toronto for calling me back just minutes after I left a message. Customer Service is off the charts! A business that actually appreciates customers....a rare thing now. I can't express how excited I am that my "Kitchen in a Box" has already shipped! This is the perfect item for back up! We probably will also use it to save on electricity. I'm thinking cooking dinner in it, outside, will help us avoid heating up the house this summer. (It gets a little hot and humid here! LOL) My sister bought one too. We are both over the moon. Much love from the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
Wow, seems it is so hard today to get good genuine customer service.
THANK YOU Pam and Jim!!!
I have just purchased the full kit and caboodle, plus the kettle! Just what I was looking for AND got a 15% discount when I provided my email address. Between my Berkey, solar and dual fuel generators, AND this kitchen in a box, I AM SET for whatever is coming! God bless you and all of us who are awake❤❤❤
Did it include the kitchen sink?
It is possible to bake beautiful, tasty breads, including sourdough, with the Cobb. In order to keep the bottom from getting too dark, use the rack on the deflector pan...the one with the holes.
I used 12 cubes of 100% coconut charcoal. They are smaller cubes.
I put the dough in a cheap pie pan, because it would just fit.
I lit the coals, let them get hot, put on the deflector plate and then the rack, and finally the lid. When the lid felt really hot, about 20 min. from lighting the coals, I lifted it quickly and put the pie pan of risen dough on the rack and put the lid back on.
I did not peek for 25 min., though it was hard. At 25 min. I checked the progress, and could see it was baking more on one side than the other, so I just rotated the pan and put the lid back on to continue baking. I think it took about 45 min. total to finish baking.
When I took it off the grill, I was afraid the bottom would be burned because of the heat being concentrated in the center bottom. It was the same golden color as the top. It works with loaf pan bread, also.
I have baked bread in a Dutch oven before, but this was far easier.
Thank you for this information
You speak of the 'rack' and then later you speak of a 'grill'. 'Rack' implies a wire rack similar to the one in your home oven. But Im pretty sure you really mean one of the 3 'grill' plates/ pieces. Which one of the 'grill plates' did you put on the deflection pan? They all have holes on the perimeter. Or did you just use the 'rack'? I looked at all the pics online and it appears that the 'rack' sits high above the deflection pan. Thanks
The plate they held up with all the holes, in addition the ones around the outer diameter, is what I call the deflector plate. They called it a grill grid.
The rack is what looks like a round cake cooling rack, in fact that is the kind of rack that was included in earlier models. It is now called a fenced roasting rack.
I sometimes add about an ounce or two of water to the moat to make steam at the beginning of the bake. It helps with making a beautiful crust. You want the water evaporated within the first 8-10 minutes of the baking.
I hope that helps.
Just ordered the Cobb Premier Air Kitchen-in-a-Box ($330.00) and 18 cobblestones ($59.95). This will not only be a great addition to our redundant home package, but can certainly see us using this on our camping trips. Thank you for the recommendation! Can’t wait to hear more about it as you learn the ins and outs. We also store bulk charcoal, but the Cobblestones could be handy for times where 2.5 hours would be needed.
Thanks for your order Charles.
@@cobbgrillamerica and Thank You for the outstanding service when I called. Greatly appreciate the fast service!
It certainly comes with a lot of pieces and possibilities. Thanks for sharing !
Love this product. Had one for years - 2 actually! Love taking it to the beach. It's incredible how cool the base remains even when in use. A whole chicken is one of our go to dishes, we wrap potatoes in foil and stick them in the moat. Simple but delicious!!
Thank you for your response and like you making great use of your COBB Cookers. We too, have placed foil covered veggies in the moat and they cook very well. Jim
I'm Australian and I'd never heard of these and I see that they originated in South Africa but are available all over the place. I can't understand how they never came up when we were searching for just this sort of thing. I showed my husband and about three hours of research later we had ordered one! Got the kitchen in a box after looking at the value of the accessories. What a fantastic find. Thank you for showing us this.
Fantastic!! We thought it was a great find, too. Jim
Greetings from South Africa! I am SÓ delighted that there is at least ONE ITEM of worth coming out of my beloved (and now ruined😢) country!!!! I will now also shop around here to see if I can find it! Much love, and appreciation for introducing this amazing item to all of us! 😊
I bought that BBQ over a year ago. It’s perfect for my emergency prep and for every day.
I’m so excited to see more videos of you using this item.
It's so nice to know that when Jim and Pam review an item and give it their seal of approval, it's something I can count on. I don't have to spend hours researching and reading, I just know that it's an honest, truthful review. So... after watching this video twice, one by myself and once with my husband, we purchased the Cobb grill off the Cobb website. Getting the extra accessories was definitely the way to go. Thanks once again for an honest, no strings attached review and recommendation.
That's a pretty fancy gadget.
I use 2 nested aluminum half pans inside a super cheap beach barbeque using lump charcoal and a charcoal chimney to start the fire.
I use a third aluminum half pan inverted over meat to bake.
All the drippings land in two nested trays holding the charcoal.
I make my own lump charcoal using a tracking solar mirror.
Is there a video you can provide on how to make charcoal with the sun?
@brendanb1541
No. I'm reticent to show my mirror. It creates a 2" beam of white-hot collated light much like a laser. In the wrong hands, it could be weaponized, because it's aimable. I aim it at a sealed crucible holding chunks of oak.
The Kitchen in a Box Cobb is on sale on their website as of today. If you sign up for their newsletter, they will send a coupon code which will decrease the cost another $49.50.
What is the website, please.
Go to our Amazon Store , Off Grid and Camp Cooking Equipment, and it is the last item: Cobb Grill Premier Plus and click on the http address. It will take you directly to the Amazon site. Jim
Thank you, a good off grid cooker, probably better than a kitchen wood stove. I am sold!
Great intro. Looking forward for more info to come.
Very interesting. it's so nice to see you two together
Great video! This is something we all need to get! 😊
How cool! I'm going to check this out on their website. Thanks.
I just love two & all the helpful information you give us. So thankful that you share your talents with others
You guys are so cool. ! And you work well together..thank you for your video. ❤
Very interesting and so lightweight! Great find team!
I’ve had a Cobb cooker for years, and I love it!
This is awesome, perfect for off grid and saving fuel.lm excited about this .
Happy Anniversary! I love your videos. 💖
There is a very cool and incredibly useful cooking tool. I am very excited to see future videos from you showing what can be done with it.
This cooker looks very interesting. Look forward to videos using it. Reading up on it and various accessories. Thx
Congrats on so many subscribers! I have been watching since your beginning and I enjoy your channel!
HAPPY that you are always trying NEW things!! and then bringing them to us!! Learning somthing new everyday is essential
Jim you are a natural! Great video. Val C
Wow you keep pulling out parts! Very interesting and so nifty. I enjoy watching you guys always
We enjoyed watching you both. Thanks for another idea and showing us before you have mastered this cooker. Great ideas!
Thanks for watching! We will be working on make more items with the Cobb Grill. Jim
LOVELY JOB VANNA, sorry I mean Jim! 😊
This thing is awesome! Definitely looking into this!!
I don't know, but I sure enjoyed watching you two. I love how inventors are coming up with new ideas for off grid cooking. My ways are most simple and basic but they won't make the most delicious food either. I do hope you share as you experiment with it.
The whole two of you are an absolute delight. So doggone cute. We were laughing and had to stop the video a couple of times... just to be sure we weren't over laughing the whole two of you. Your new toy looks amazing! Thank you for sharing and the wonderful comedy show 😀.
Thank you for your comments. I always thought of myself as the straight man and Pam as delivering the comic relief. Jim
this is wonderful!!! I can't wait for the bread video... you two are so cute together!!
I always enjoy what you present to us. It is nice to see Jim in front of the camera with you. This looks like a wonderful thing to have and use. I have been focusing on different ways to use the things we already have, but this one seems like it would be a good addition because it is portable, uses less briquets, and is compact. I loved all of the extras...the kitchen in a box. Those additions would make it extremely versatile. A definite plus for a grid down situation, especially if it were to be down for a while. Thank you both so much.
How exciting! Thanks for showing us this one, Ms. Pam and Mr. Jim.
Hope you enjoyed it! Jim
Love your videos!!! And I love that blouse you have on! Love plaid!
Ive had a Cobb for 20+ years....brilliant piece of kit.
This looks so fun and practical. Think of camping with it!
You are both so sweet !
My brother has one and loves it. He takes it with him when he goes on camping trips. Best wishes from the UK
The interaction between you both adds to the information (two observations at the same time) and some humour. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
You can see their love for each other!! ❤😊
❤ love seeing you both! Fantastic quick little charcoal cooker! You will be so prepared for being off grid....amazing....you got a new gadget, Pam, LOL! ❤ love you and the work you do!
We appreciate you watching our channel. Yes, we will be doing more experimenting with the Cobb. Jim
This looks great. Versatile
Firstly, I just wanted to say that I smiled all the way through this video. The relationship you have together is lovely. And secondly, as another Aussie, I’m so glad to see you using the cobb. It’s something I’ve been considering buying for a long time. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you use it
You will love this....bought a few years ago ! So much fun! Only uses5 charcoals
This looks amazing. Glad you will iron all the learning kinks out before I invest in one.
This sounds so great, Mother’s Day birthday gift idea. Looking forward In viewing your future videos using this. I have purchased quite a few of the products that you have recommended and are quite satisfied with the quality of those items.
Thank you, Jim
You two are so funny! I love you both!
Really interesting device. Looking forward to your further videos. 👍
More to come! Jim
I am looking forward to your videos on how to cook with this!!
Yes, more Jim!! He IS cute and you guys are cute together. Luv ya'll. Thanks for all that you share with us. Your channel is the best. I wonder if adding a pizza stone would help even out the heat for bread making.
Wow...that sounds interesting!
Con grats on your anniversary💞
Greetings from Sweden
Thank you for taking the time to watch our channel. Jim
LOVE *YOU* 2 and all *YOU* do!!!
I have an older model and not the most expensive, though I do have some accessories. I transported it to our Easter dinner barbecue in the pack and used it in addition to the Weber. I’m afraid I haven’t used it as much as I should have. I’m going to be using it more! We cooked a leg of lamb on the Weber and a rack of lamb on the Cobb using the griddle. It catches the fat drips and it fits in the sink to wash. I love the portability and the way it stays cool to touch.
hi ~ after watching your video yesterday i went on the cobb website and purchased the kitchen in a box, along with a couple other items. then about an hour later i remembered i wanted to get an extra lifter tool and grommets so i called the company in texas. they were so nice to work with and even gave me an extra code for another discount. my cobb will be here tomorrow and i can't wait to start using it. i've been watching videos on all kinds of ways to cook on it and will be taking it on a camping trip very soon. thanks so much for reviewing this. if not for you, i'd never have known about the cobb, and we're always looking to add to our preps. god bless you pam and jim. you guys are great.
Great introduction vide!
You two are just adorable together! ❤
You two are adorable❤
I love this. I am in a small off grid situation all by myself. 14:48 Definitely will be purchasing one of these.
Thank you for your comments. Let us know how it goes. Jim
Wow! Video isn’t done and I already know this will be a great asset for my family! Thank you! 😊😊😊
I have been rewatching all your off grid cooking videos as well as many other RUclips vlogs, for months, pondering which best suits my needs. And you just delivered it! I went directly to their website, entered my email address to get the 15% off offer. Code worked and I got 15% off plus free shipping. Thank you and Jenelle, from Down Under, for the introduction to this off grid cooking system.
Now I know what I’m getting for my husband for his birthday 🎉 thanks!!
You two are so much fun to watch 😍
Love this kitchen in a box!
Thank you! Jim
When my BBQ gives out I think I'll look into this. It looks so handy compared to a regular old grill.
❤❤ u guys are so adorable together
Mine arrived today. I have been busy studying the book and every vlog on RUclips, ready to attempt a full dinner tomorrow of pork tenderloin, cornbread muffins, asparagus and carrots. There was no cookbook in my box, but I did find a smattering of recipes, including pork tenderloin recipe on Cobb webbsite. I agree with you, Pam. The lifting fork does need to be packed on the top! I am certainly looking forward to your lessons on using it. I hope Cobb puts links to your videos on their website because your videos are much more informative all the other ones I watched.
We just bought charcoal Barbie absolutely loveee it
I have had one for years. I love it! They are also marketed for people on boats. They are for outdoor cooking only; CO would be a concern indoors. Edited to add that mine is RED!
Wow! That's awesome!
Love Jim with Pam! You are both so sweet. You are such a happy couple. I look forward to seeing more videos on the Cobb Cooker. You have inspired me to look into buying one. I'd love to see your experiments on it. I'm an Aussie and it was good to see a recommendation from another Aussie.
Thanks! We will definitely experimenting with the Cobb in the near future. Jim
Thank you for sharing. Do the grill components clean up easily? I look forward to your additional testing. This may be a great item for SHTF scenarios. And regular use. I like the fact that just a handful of charcoal briquettes are needed and it offers lots of cooking options. So much more than a basic charcoal grill. You all are so cute together. 😊
I was also wondering how long the cooking times are. Please include them in your next video.
Congratulations on your 5th yrar! Hey I see 300,K Subscribers!!! Yay!
$239.00! No thanks. I've got a small, square portable grill on wheels I paid 25.00 for several years ago. Folds flat and wheels away.
$239.00 is a lot especially in this economy.
Hey guys…great video. I have never seen a Cobb stove before. Very cool. Love this, thanks 🇨🇦🌷
Thanks for watching! Jim
You guys should share how the two of you get along so well because in an off grid situation people will have to be together and you two seem to still have that flame going. I hope my husband and I will have a long life together like the two of you. 😊
I think she's the boss, that must be how it works !
I was pleased to see your video about the Cobb BBQ/grill. I bought mine about 20 years ago when I had a motorhome. Back then, what is now the 'basic' Cobb was the 'top of the range' (the lid on mine doesn't have an adjustable vent though). I've added various accessories to mine since then, including a few last year in case of a power down or 'EOTWAWKI' situation. I now have the items in your kit plus a pizza stone and a thermometer; this year, I'm planning on buying the rotisserie attachment. Although a bit limited size-wise, it's a brilliant cooker that's really versatile and far safer than most BBQ's. In fact, on some UK campsites, during *hot dry spells when there's more risk of fires breaking out, it's the only type of charcoal BBQ that's allowed. (*Yes, we do get some lovely weather in the UK ... it doesn't rain all of the time 😂.) I'm looking forward to watching you bread baking video soon (that's why I bought the pizza stone). 😊👍
I like that , I’ve got a Orion smoker it’s like a out side pressure cooker can cook a lot at one time and can use wood , keep up the good info
Thank you for your comment. Jim
I have had two COBBS grills (along with all the accessories) for almost 18 years - LOVE LOVE them!!! Everything we've cooked on it just comes out so moist and delicious!! After watching your segment on boiling water I have to say - I decided to grab the camp kettle too - which works like a charm (I do however pour the hot water into a thermos to keep it hot longer - and to free up the COBB for cooking other things). Looking forward to seeing your segments on how you use yours.
Yes, we plan to a series on the Cobb Grill. Jim
Thank you for letting us know of another way to cook. Up here in Canada it is worrisome. My son has lost electricity twice in the last few week at supper time, a few hours at a time. Unfortunately they are unavailable at the moment, however I did see they had many recipes on the site. Hopefully they will come back in stock soon.
Love this channel❤
Jim and Pam, I just subscribed to your channel because of this video.💜
Awesome! Thank you! Jim
Pam and Jim, thanks so much for sharing this. I've been wondering how I would be able to bake things off grid without an oven. Your reviews are always trustworthy, so I will research the Cobb. I recently purchased a RockPot for off grid cooking, but it's basically a stone heated slow cooker, so I'm not sure if it's going to be that great for baking. However, for stews and meats, it's really awesome.
Pam, I would love to see you do a video review for the RockPot! I think you would love it!
Looks like an interesting appliance!
It is! Jim
Interesting…something to think about!
