FAQ's
Q. What can I cook my COBB®cooker?
A. Any food you can imagine! The COBB® Cooker works like a convection oven and stovetop. As a result, your COBB® can cook anything you can cook in a kitchen. Some favourites are pizzas, steaks, whole chickens, bread and roast vegetables. You can even make desserts.
Q. How much charcoal should I use?
A. The COBB® Cooker uses about 6–10 charcoal briquettes, one CobbleStone or around 300g of charcoal, depending on what you want to cook. You can use more for large pieces of meat and less for baked goods. Usually, one CobbleStone would be needed for a meal, or break it in half for baking.
DO NOT overfill the fire basket or put fuel in the moat. This will cause a fire and damage your COBB®
Q. How do I light my COBB®cooker?
A. The COBB® Cooker is simple to light and use.Here are two ways to light your COBB®:
- If you’re using a CobbleStone: The CobbleStone uses rapid ignition technology. All you have to do is hold a flame to it (we recommend a blue flame lighter for this purpose), in which it can take approximately 30 seconds to light.
- If the CobbleStone is old, you can use a small piece of firelighter to get it started. If you’re using charcoal briquettes: Place two or three small pieces of firelighter under the Fire Grid. Ignite them and place briquettes and charcoal over the lit firelighters.
Do not use lighter fluid and or gel in the COBB® Cooker.
Q. What is the best type of briquettes to use with my COBB®?
A. Any good quality briquette will work just fine in the COBB, better quality briquettes burn cleaner, hotter and longer. We recommend a product called "Heat Beads" which are available from our website.
Q. Can the COBB® be used indoors?
A. No. The COBB® Cooker uses charcoal as a fuel source and produces carbon monoxide, which is poisonous. This can lead to adverse health effects and even death. The COBB® Cooker is safe to use in a sheltered area, such as a balcony or under a patio roof, as long as there are good ventilation and air circulation.
Q. How does one dispose of the charcoal?
A. CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES: When the Charcoal is burned out there is a small pile of ash that can easily be disposed of. After cooking remove the dome and grill plate to allow the fuel to burn out. Take care when disposing of hot ashes. Please enquire at the facility where you are if there is a service for disposing of hot ash. (At any time after the cooking process if desired the briquettes can be carefully removed from the unit and submerged in water to put them out. When dry they can be used to supplement your next COBB® cookout).
COBBLESTONE: After cooking remove the dome and grill plate to allow the fuel to burn out away from children and animals. Be sure the ashes are completely burnt out before discarding in a refuse bin away from children and animals.
Q. How many people can the COBB® cook for?
A. The COBB® Premier Air/PRO/Premier+ Gas are designed to cook for between 1-4 people. The COBB® Supreme can cater for up to 8 people
Q. Is the COBB® safe around children?
A. Although the COBB® is completely cool to the touch on the outer base, the dome does get hot when in use. Children should ALWAYS be supervised when around or near a COBB®. The COBB® is not designed for children to use.
Q. Is the COBB® easy to clean? And how?
A. One of the best features of the COBB® is the ability to clean it so easily. The COBB® is dishwasher safe (excluding base). The dome, grill grid, fire basket, steel bowl and all the accessories can all be placed in the dishwasher. The outer base does not collect a lot of dirt and can be easily wiped down with a damp soapy cloth.
Q. Do I need to remove the rubber pieces that separates the bowl from the plastic base?
A. No, The rubber inserts are what keeps the bowl suspended and keeps the heat away from the plastic base. DO NOT REMOVE!
