Strawberry Cake on the Cobb Supreme Grill

This cake was baked for a contest in Australia.

I did this bake on my Cobb Supreme grill using 14 all hardwood briquets. 

I started with a simple box of yellow cake mix and split it between two 7” cake pans. 

Took about 27 minutes to get them done.

First slice out of my cake.

It makes a nice attractive and simple dessert for any grill. 

First Pizza on the Cobb Supreme

Still learning how to cook on this new Cobb Supreme grill and this is my latest try in baking pizza on the cooker. 

This was a two pizza bake on my new Cobb Supreme and it sure came out well. This first pizza was baked on a 12" in diameter Pizza stone which is the largest hearth stone that will fit in the cooker. My planned second pizza will be on the very high quality Cobb Pizza Stone which I will change over after this first bake. This second Cobb Pizza Stone measures 10-1/2” in diameter and was designed for the smaller Cobb Premier cooker. 

This is my first bake on this cooker and I really loaded up the goodies on this first pizza. This pizza took 27 minutes to get done and this cooker is just a dream to bake on as compared to my Premier in my opinion. Very easy to get to the higher temperatures that I like for some real hearth baking.

I used some homemade dough that I had made and placed in the freezer about 2 months ago and after I formed it up, I added the pizza sauce and then some hot and spicy sausage.

Next up was some onions, bell peppers, and some mushrooms.

Added plenty of mozzarella cheese and then some pepperoni and my pie was ready to go on the fire.

For this two pizza bake on the Supreme, I used about 23 all hardwood briquets and fired them up in the cooker.

This is the first pizza done on the Cobb Supreme. It was about a 13" pizza on my 12" hearth stone so it was kinda hanging off one side of the stone but still did bake up great.

Another nice pizza just like the first one only slightly smaller.

This slightly larger Cobb Supreme Grill does seem to bake quite well as shown on my first try. 

Lasagna on the Cobb Supreme

I tried some more baking on my new Cobb Supreme and it came out quite well. 

I added a couple slices of tomatoes and a slice of garlic bread and it made a fine meal.

Lasagna is one of my favorite meals.

I used about a 1-1/4 pound of my homemade Italian sausage, some burger, onions, garlic, sauce, spices. and a little water. The cheese mix was ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, and eggs. I used the oven ready lasagna noodles. Added some pepperoni to the top of my treat.

Ready to go on the cooker.

Got my bake started very early this morning to beat the rain.

My Supreme always seems to run a little hotter than my Premier so for most cooks, I close off some of the exhaust vents to control the temperature. I wanted to run about 350F degrees measured on the cooking or baking surface so I closed of half or 4 of the vent holes.

A 9X13 baking pan just fits the cooker and this picture shows the lasagna done at 170F degrees internal. I used 14 all hardwood briquets and the bake took one hour.

Cooling down for serving.

I think that this larger Cobb Supreme does bake a little better than the standard Cobb grill. I will try a pizza next to see just how well it does at a higher baking temperature. 

Ground Sirloin Jerky on the Green Mountain Daniel Boone

I did this jerky cook early yesterday morning and it came out quite well. It was also my first try making jerky out of ground meat. 

I did 5 pounds of the ground sirloin (90%) lean for this batch. It took 3-2/3rd trays on the BR6 Ultimate Six Rack setup from Earthworks.

I had 3 trays of the standard mix and cure that came with the LEM Jerky Cannon and one tray of which I added a big sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

I turned and rotated the trays every hour and the total cooking time was 3 hr and 45 minutes.

My LEM Jerky Cannon worked great for this treat and made quick work out of 5 pounds of ground sirloin. 

Ready to be carried out and placed on my Green Mountain Daniel Boone cooker. I ran the cooker at 170 degrees through out the whole cook.

About done on cooker.

Jerky done and cooling on the counter top. 

The wife liked this batch and I think it is pretty good but I think it could be improved with more spice and heat. 

Next batch will be made out of sliced top round.

Surf & Turf on the Cobb Premier Grill

I did this cook yesterday morning in my little Cobb Premier Grill and it came out quite well. 

My lobster sauce was some butter, garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Also added a piece of garlic bread to my meal.

Steak was trimmed, oiled, and then rubbed with a good steak rub. I prepped my lobster tail and then I oiled it with olive oil and then I added a light sprinkle of rub to the meat.

Those Grill Grates sure do a fine job with steaks and chops. This steak was cooked in 8 minutes with a grid temp of about 625 degrees. I used 20 all hardwood charcoal briquets in the larger charcoal basket.

My lobster tail just going on the cooker.

Sure made a nice meal.

I cooked the steak to medium rare.

Sure was a nice easy cook to do on this fine little cooker / grill. 

Scientifically Processed Animal Matter

I just finished up a Surf and Turf on the Cobb grill and still had a hot fire left so I did some "Scientifically Processed Animal Matter" to help use up the remaining charcoal in the grill. It came out wonderful as it usually does and made a fine lunch.

This was the first time I tried this meat on my Grill Grates and it came out quite well. 

Did you know??

This meat has been around for 80 years. 

In the US, it comes in about 20 flavors.

There are 12.8 cans of this meat served every second world wide.

If you were in the service before the "modern army", you damn sure would know what this meat tastes like. 

SPAM...you gotta love it!!!

My selection today was the Black Pepper Spam.

This is my Spam Slyder I had for lunch today...I added some lettuce, tomato, and some horsey sauce to my sandwich and oh my, it was great.

Now you folks have to quit making fun of this wonderful product.
