The Cobb Premier Plus
Our number one pick for the best charcoal BBQ on the market in 2020 is the Cobb BBQ.
The Cobb Premier is a portable charcoal barbecue system like no other. In fact, it’s way more than a grill. It’s an oven, a grill, a smoker and a fryer all rolled into one. With a huge range of accessories including a roasting rack, griddle plate and frying pan you can cook any of your favourite dishes from anywhere. The Cobb is perfect for camping, caravans, boats and more.
Design
The Cobb BBQ is one of the most well thought out designs that we’ve seen on the market. It boasts a huge range of additional accessories that neatly store away inside the main unit for easy storage. The Cobb BBQ consists of a base unit that suspends an inner drip ring with rubber contacts, within the inner unit you will find a charcoal basket. On top of all this sits the cooking plate. Out of the box the Cobb comes with a cast iron grill plate and a roasting rack. The Cobb can be operated with or without the lid depending on the type of cooking you are doing.

The Charcoal Basket inside the Cobb
The unique airflow design of the Cobb BBQ allows it to cook for long periods of time with very little charcoal. In fact, we’ve roasted an entire chicken on it using just 9 regular charcoal briquettes! This is by far the most economical portable grilling solution we’ve seen when compared to the versatility and size of the cooking area.
Another great feature is that the base of the unit never gets hot, in fact most of the time it won’t even get warm! This is due to the unique way the inner bowl is suspended. This means you can simply pick the Cobb BBQ up and move it while it is cooking. This makes the Cobb perfect for places where hot items are a problem, such as boats.
Performance
What can we say, the Cobb BBQ outperforms on all levels. The sheer versatility of this grill sets it apart from anything else on the market. We have used the Cobb to cook regular grilled food such as steaks, sausages and chops with great success. By adding a few of the available accessories we’ve been able to cook so much more such as roasting a whole chicken, smoking ribs and even a chilli con carne on a campsite!
Why we love it…
