For the best cooking results
* To facilitate the cleaning process, make use of a non-stick spray before cooking. Wash in a soapy water solution with a sponge or cloth after
use. Do not use abrasive agents when cleaning the non-stick surface.
• Once ready to cook (refer to fuelling your Cobb), place the grill grid on top of the inner sleeve. Ensure grill grid is placed correctly so
that it is convexly shaped (dome shaped). It's been designed to let the fat drain down the grooves and into the moat
• Rest the dome cover over the grill grid to heat up before cooking (3 minutes).
• Always ensure all 6 grommets are in place.
• You can grill with or without the dome cover.
• For the best results with steak, it's better to have the dome cover off. However, if it's cold and windy the dome cover should be on.
You will learn as you become more familiar with your Cobb.
• When cooking steak or chops use 16 - 18 briquettes, 600grams charcoal or 2 Cobble Stones. Let the grill grid heat up before cooking
by placing the grill grid and dome on for no more than 3 minutes prior to cooking. Never leave the grill grid or dome on for longer
than 3 minutes before cooking.
• Frozen food must be totally defrosted prior to cooking.
• When roasting, turn the chicken or meat over after 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, there is a Cobb Supreme Roast Rack available.
When using the Supreme Roast R ack, you will only need to turn food over at least once.
• The Cobb has been designed on the same principle as a conventional oven. Therefore, resist checking the food too often. The more you
lift the dome cover, the longer it takes for food to cook. This is due to heat loss.
• Chicken and beef should take approximately 100 minutes for 4.5 kg.
• Pork and lamb should take approximately 120 minutes for 4.5 kg.
• Seafood or sausages can be cooked either with or without the dome cover.
• The Cobb is designed to function in a similar way to an oven. When roasting, baking, or smoking, the dome cover must be on to ensure
even distributed heat.

Flavouring your food
The inner sleeve is designed to enable one to do small vegetables inside while cooking a meal and/or for fluids to keep food moist. Liquid
can act as a flavouring aid.
• Maximum of 950ml fluid (wine, beer or water).
• You can include chopped garlic, onions and herbs in the fluid.
Cooking vegetables
Wrap in foil and cook in the moat. Hard vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and pumpkin should be cut into smaller pieces. Add butter,
herbs and spices as required. Cook for ± 40 minutes.
NB! To cook lots of vegetables, you will require an extra briquette at the start.
Baking bread
• Use an easy bake pre-mix product or buy the dough from the local store.
• Bread can take up to 45 minutes depending on the method of cooking used.
• Bread rolls take 35 minutes in total (20 minutes on one side and 15 on the other).
• Scones take approximately 20 minutes.
Smoking fish and chicken
• Soak your hickory chips or wood shavings for 10-15 minutes in water.
• Sprinkle damp hickory chips or wood shavings on top of the briquettes and you are ready to smoke.
