Cob Premier Outdoor Oven

[Chenz]

Just read an article about these in the February Australian Shooter magazine and wondered if anyone had used one and if so what did they think of it.

Looks good for that stop where you can't or don't want to have a fire big enough to generate the coals required for a camp oven but still want to roast a bit of meat or bake something.

It also says it works as a BBQ and wok burner

[hiline]

mate of mine has one and he BLOODY loves it :D:D

i've seen how easy it is to use and clean.............
only problem for my clan its not big enough

i cooks a roast with 5/6 heat beats :mad: or you can use coals

[The ho har's]

I gave up my camp ovens years ago because of weight...my Cob does exatly the same job...scones....damper..roast..etc...the best thing invented:D

So, what do these cob contraptions look like? My problem stems from working far too many hours, and not having enough time to drive down to the big smoke and go window shopping, just to see, and another cyclone hovering about off the coast, doesn,t help either.

Gee Laurie, do you have the boat ready?
looks bad over there for the weekend.
I hope that do not come south of Gladstone :(

[Savanahkelpy]

As a matter of fact, i do, but its not much use, as i,m 2500 ft above sea level, would be a decent flood to shift me,,:D

We have the Cobb oven for more than 3 weeks and we love it. The meat come really tender.
It is one of the best camping gear that we have on the Defe

Hi Chucaro.
I am thinking of getting one of these. Did you just go with the basic unit or did you find that you needed some of the accessories as well?

I have the the Premier model and the frying dish, pan & wok in one.
The premier was for the same price than the basic unit when I got it :)

I bought the Premier model from Ray`s outdoors to day , it was on special at $185 plus a free roast rack, having roast beef tonight with corn , pumkin , potatoes and carrots. :)

Without seeing this thread, I purchased one of these online. It was delivered today. I also bought the "frying dish" & the roasting rack.

First test tonight in barbeque mode - honey soy chicken. :)

One thing I would say is that you shouldn't get one of these if you are time poor. It takes time for the briquettes to "settle down".

Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,
If I am in a harry or at home I start the briquettes on the flame of the gas stove.


Enjoy ;)

very true.......but if you add enough heat beeds it may......we choose not to cook our steak on one just for oven type cooking only:D....works a treat

All roasts 2 hours 9 coals, chicken wings 1 hour,
we use ours twice a week.
Simply brilliant

[gromit]

Used ours for the first time last weekend, the best roast chicken I've had for ages.
On holiday at Easter we noticed a few people using them, did some research when we got back and after checking prices ended up getting the Rays Outdoors special like Stew123.
Anaconda had the Premier on special for $179 (without the roasting rack) and then announced the 20% off sale which also applied to 'sale items'. Rushed to my local Anaconda and the 'sale special' on the Cobb had finished ! Went back to Rays and found that they had a 'Stimulus Special' discount of $25 if you spent over $200, so got the Cobb (with roasting rack) plus a couple of fishing lures for $175.

There is a forum on their website Welcome To Cobb International (http://cobbglobal.com/) but it seems to have been spammed so you have to trawl through a lot of junk to find anything useful.

Won't replace a campfire and camp oven when bush camping but useful at home and in caravan parks.......

Can u add more heatbeads & get it hot enough 2 sizzle a steak???
Cheers Dean.

[gromit]

The booklet that comes with it lists a roast as needing 8-9 heatbeads and a BBQ steak as 9-12 heatbeads.
More heatbeads = more heat so it should sizzle a steak, we just need someone to try it out.

Here's someone on YouTube doing it .....

Ours arrived today, after being ordered off the Cobb website for $179 (postage is free if you spend more than $100).
The BIL loves his so I ordered this one for Mothers Day (it arrived late).
Looking forward to trying it out.

I think he said (the conversion to a gas ring does the job nicely).:p
Cheers Dean.

I can report it makes nice scones. A roast will be attempted later in the week. :cool:
