Let's cut right to the chase, okay? If you've never heard of the Cobb Grill, you're in for a very happy surprise. I stumbled on this one after a day of fishing for striped bass off the coast of New Hampshire with a couple buddies of mine - Eddie and Lou - great guys, but Eddie's a little given to... let's say exaggeration? We wound up back at Eddie's place, put our catch on ice, popped open some foamy adult beverages, and settled down to swap fish stories and think about dinner. We decided prime rib sounded like just about the perfect ending to a perfect day, and we were about to head off to our favorite restaurant when Eddie piped up. "I'll cook it right here fellas," Eddie said. "I have a rib of beef in the fridge, and I've got a great NEW GRILL I want to try out." Groans from me and Lou. We've been the victims of Eddie's culinary disasters too many times to mention. While we were eyeing each other, and stifling our guffaws, Eddie walked over to his tiny storage shed and pulled out what looked a little too much like an oversized ladies shoulder bag. On it I noticed a single word... COBB.
"This baby will cook that rib in nothing flat," Eddie said,
"and on only 8 charcoal briquettes."
Remember I mentioned Eddie's exaggeration problem?
'Excuse me?' I thought to myself. 'Did he just say what I thought he said? Eight briquettes?! Yeah right... there's no way you can cook a whole prime rib, big enough for three hungry guys, with less than half a bag of charcoal.' I looked at Lou and knew he was thinking the same thoughts I was, only with less love in his heart.
"What's that thing, Eddie?" Lou asked. "It looks a lot like a big purse?" See what I mean?
Eddie merely leveled a flinty-eyed stare in our direction, assuming a guy who looks a lot like Santa Clause can ever be flinty-eyed.
What Happened Next DEFIES IMAGINATION...
But I Swear It's All True!
Eddie proceeded to unzip the ladies shoulder bag (my apologies to the more sensitive of my female readers) and took from it what appeared to be a short, snub-nosed, shiny aluminum torpedo with a round black button on the top and a stainless-steel mesh base. Eddie set the topedo on his picnic table.
Lou and I watched as Eddie removed the domed lid, reached inside, and took out a flat pan and small wire basket. "This is the firestarter," Eddie said, breaking a small stick in half and placing it in the bottom of the grill.
Next, Eddie carefully counted out and placed exactly eight charcoal briquettes in the wire basket. Using a lighter, Eddie lit the firestarter and set the basket with the briquettes back in the bottom of the grill.
"The COBB will be ready in less than ten minutes," Eddie stated.
"I'll go get the prime rib."
Eddie left, and Lou and I waited just until he had disappeared before jumping up to get a close-up look at the grill.
Sure enough, in the bottom of the grill, the eight briquettes were already starting to turn gray at the edges... after only a COUPLE OF MINUTES!
"How's he going to roast a whole prime rib in this thing?" Lou asked.
"Darned if I know," I replied, but I was dying to find out.
A few minutes later Eddie came back with a big rib roast that had to go at least three and a half or four pounds, all nicely salted and peppered and ready to grill. He noticed us standing there like idiots, staring down into his COBB GRILL.
"Caught you," he said. "I knew you'd get curious, same as I was when I first saw this thing." He glanced down into the COBB and observed, "Looks like she's ready to rock."
"She?" I repeated. "You call your grill she?
"You'll see," was all Eddie said, as he carefully placed a grill rack over the coals and put the prime rib on the rack. Finally he put the domed aluminum lid back in place and said, "Let's have another beverage while we wait. It'll take an hour and a half or so."
We sat back down to wait, and I have to tell you the truth...
Lou and I COULDN'T TAKE OUR EYES OFF THAT GRILL!
You can almost smell it yourself, can't you? It was then that it dawned on me. Eddie had only turned the rib once, and he hadn't added ANY charcoal...
NOT ONE MORE BRIQUETTE!
Below is a real good look at the Prime Rib as it looked when we cut into it, and I gotta tell you, it tasted even more mouth watering than it looks, if that's possible. Lou, Eddie, and me piled into that baby like we hadn't eaten in months, and I still remember it as one of the very best meals I've eaten anywhere, anytime!
The rib had a crunchy, flavor filled crust on the outside, but the inside was moist and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It had just a hint of smokiness, which I think makes meat so much better, and the level of doneness was perfection itself - a nice, pink medium side for me, and a more well done side for Eddie and Lou... just the way we all like it!
After dinner, I started grilling Eddie about the COBB...
So, Here's What I've Learned About The COBB!
After talking with Eddie, and then doing my own research, here's what I discovered about the fascinating history and unique versatility of The COBB Premium BBQ Cooking System.
Developed in Africa, the innovative Cobb was first designed to provide a safe, efficient cooking method for people in rural places. In these areas, where there is little or no access to electricity, the Cobb would need to use a readily available energy source, yet also limit the danger of out of control fires. 
A ceramic sphere-shaped device, the grill's first prototype cooked well, but was bulky and unstable. At first, the fuel source for the Cobb was dry corn cobs, abundant in rural Africa, giving the grill it's unique name. After many refinements, the result is a compact, environmentally friendly, portable, and astonishingly efficient grill. Charcoal briquettes – a universal commodity - have replaced the corn cobs as the Cobb's main fuel source.
