OFB - Otto Wilde Grillers - INSANE GRILL REVIEW - FIRE SPITTING BROILER

[@rociovillegasmartin9897]

This is my second one. We have it outside the garage door exposed to the elements yearound kzbin.infoUgkxreK_FUQ74_bylFqCr3y2MHqL3u78-b3r Direct sunlight deteriorated the plastic on the thermostat and severe winds blew the lid off. We found it about an acre away. I bought a new one and I saved the good parts from the old one as spares. Got about 8 years out of the first one.

[@mattmccarthy4224]

Expensive is buying things over and over. Made in Germany you buy it once and it works!

[@boostedmaniac]

A great sear with no charcoal flavor. I’ll stick to my Weber kettle with a slow n sear and grill grates. You can get a fantastic sear with grill grates and especially if you flip them upside down.

[@imontime77]

$800-$1000 is out of my culinary range. Love the concept and I bet it works great.

[@tylerd.795]

My wife bought me one (on my suggestion!) and I LOVE it. Still working out the cooking nuances to not overcook my steaks since it cooks so hot. Makes a great pizza too, with their stone!

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

We just started putting ours through it's paces! So far the steak, fish, venison... everything has been great - It won't replace our other grills and BBQ's, but it's a great addition.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Great review Roel! I'm really excited about this product! I know of a lot of uses, including of course searing a steak to fine steak house quality!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine you will love it Rus... just make sure you keep watching the food. Or it will be burned

[@SouthernCoastalCookingTM]

I just love that griller. I think it would work wonderfully to sear my sous vide steaks

[@PITMASTERX]

It's perfect for that!!

[@Cremantus]

Great review, Roel. Putting the things to the test is always worth the efforts... Best regards, Tilo

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks Tilo... yeah... just gives you that little insight you might need if your in the markt for one

[@BBQKlaus]

High heat grills like O.F.B, Beefer or WeGrill are making sense, not only for steak's. One criteria is the price, maybe the WeGrill (Young or Folding) is a good compromise. I have a WeGrill Folding and it works from my point of view perfect..

[@turtlepowersf]

BBQ Klaus ive been looking at the beefer myself, but i dont eat enough and my house is too small to justify the 800 dollar purchase. i may have to look into this one

[@PITMASTERX]

Sounds good haven't tried it et

[@silvialauer2139]

Awesome , I like fact that the heat comes from the top, and the fat drops down ! I bet this is the best Grill on the market !

[@PITMASTERX]

It is really good!

[@bigpapi3636]

It's a pretty good item if you want to Pittsburgh a steak but I'm thinking there aren't a lot of other uses. Maybe to caramelize creme brûlée or brown a coquille st Jacques. The regular broiler I have in the Thermador oven works pretty good for most applications. Pretty cool unit for the hipster cook.

[@Kris-nk9mz]

Great review, very through and complete. I agree with some other comments that the gas knobs are in an awkward space. In a perfect world they would be on the front (maybe right side toward the front panel). This is NOT a toaster oven. Way better. I would also recommend these for making hoagies or sub sandwiches. Not like Subway, you guys get that. I mean real sandwiches, BIG, toasted bread, sliced smoked ham, sliced tender brisket, pork belly, etc. Toast (heat that up in there) don't forget your favorite cheese maybe Swiss. A little dressing then topped with choice of peppers a little onion slightly broiled up from this machine. Finish with lettuce, tomato etc. You get the idea, when it's done and you pick it up it should feel just a little heavy in your hand and drip a little juice, and then forget all your cares and just chow down. You put this in your back yard every neighbor will be over in no time or maybe in a food truck I would think you should do ok. IMHO

[@SousVideEverything]

Very nice review. Thinking about getting for my channel. Need to sear things in super high heat as you know. Question. What slider are you using for your insane shots?

[@PITMASTERX]

Hahaha.. I use the edelkrone! One of these is a perfect combination with sous vide

[@SousVideEverything]

Nice. Love it. Got to have it. LOL!

[@restless_soulism]

The Kings meet, what a moment!

[@BigMeatSunday]

I really like that idea ! A LOT ! thanks for the ideas Roj!

[@PITMASTERX]

You know you need one John....its just the thing for you

[@Gquebbqco]

I was thinking when I first saw it that it Reminds me of a Domestic Salamander then you say it haha! looks like a great product for the home cook. Happy New Year Roel!

[@PITMASTERX]

hahaha yes... or for a butcher shop... happy new years to you to Jason

[@wellbbq]

Let's see you do a ribeye on that thing!! I'd like to see what kind of grill marks if makes.

[@NuclearEngineerDOE]

I was thinking the same thing. No grill marks.

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

No one wants to mention the levele handle feature on the back. Mine didn't come with a cover.

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

Hey Bro! Great job on this review! Salamanders are the go to means of cooking in almost all of the high end restaurants…. because they make great steaks. This is an excellent home version…… but will I buy….. no. A cast iron grate and a propane torch in hand, will work for me. I'm poor,… what can I say. \m/

[@PITMASTERX]

hahahah..thanks bro. Yeah its a specialist tool, but a good one. I love using reversed sear and cast iron pan! Best way to cook a poor man's steak! \m/

[@craneflaw2019]

Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que How the fuck was that a great Job ??? He didnt grill anything

[@Chris91575]

Great review, interesting Beefer competitor at a similar price level. But usable for two pieces of meat at the same time....

[@PITMASTERX]

Thats right..makes it a true competitor..thanks for the comment Chris

[@SmokingBsBBQ]

Really great review it makes the OFB a very interesting alternative to a Beefer the price is the only thing that makes me a bit worried if it is worth it.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Smoking B's BBQ it is, but it is pricy

[@BlackEagle19]

i never grilled with the O.F.B. but this are my first choice when i buy a grill like this it is better than the beefer you got two burners seperated controlled, this feature ist only at the big beefer for gastro using if i has change to use this gadet i will use it

[@PITMASTERX]

hahahaha... always to have this kind of change

[@maltedavis1764]

I have that grill and it really is not easy to use. If you sear your steak and then need to rest in an "indirekt" zone to get to your desired core temperature, that is the difficult moment. if you only have one steak in there, you can turn off one burner and rest your steak on that side. but if you have two steaks or more when grilling for friends and family, you simply have too much heat. you cannot leave the grill alone. even on the low position of the grill plate it is very near to the heat. well i am not giving up yet, but i have spoiled some nice meat because it was overdone in the end. so to use this "beast" to its full potential, you need to learn new techniques. maybe completely turning off the nurners would be an option, but there is no lid to close the grill, so you loose the temp fast. unfortunately, on all the tests and unboxings i found on youtube, everyone is amazed by the high heat, but this practical problem never comes to speak.

[@robmetzger9955]

Cool little gizmo, but I couldn't help but wonder what's in the Dutch Oven??

[@PITMASTERX]

Hahahha.. Lamb pasta..that video is coming for sure! :D

[@01artist]

Nice Review. Thanks for the share

[@michaellmikeyymike]

that looks similar to The Beafer, very cool Roel!

[@PITMASTERX]

It is similar to the Beefer... the difference is that it has 2 burners, which is very convenient. Thanks Michael!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Great Review!

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks Tom!

[@chucknorris4465]

i have buy this grill in cologne by lax-online. It was great to see the model in real life. I would buy a second one, when i have a place for that xD It is amazing to grill with it and the quality is very good :)

[@PITMASTERX]

If you have 2.. you definitly are the Chuck Norris of grills hahaha! Thank!

[@0815BBQ]

Nice review!

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks bro

[@peter8921]

this is way overpriced. In the US it is $1300 but could easily be made for $200-300 (I am an engineer). I wouldn't buy it as the infrared elements create uneven heat - there is a cold zone between the elements which does not result in a uniform sear. I would instead check out the Northfire Inferno which comes in 3 or 4 models. The comparable models is available in the US for $450 to $500 and is also a much better design. No cold spots and much easier to clean.

[@davidjd123]

Pedro wow think! I’ll check out the other one u recommend. 1200$ is a heavy price tag

[@AJ-vd8hn]

nice review. but I'm more interested in what is in the Dutch oven ;)

[@PITMASTERX]

Hahahha... well that video is coming don't worry.... I promise. :D

[@001SapoBBQ]

Awesome Review bro!!! I have a infrared Grill.... I wouldn't buy it... But I have too many Stuff already!!!! Steaks , Chicken, Fish taste better with some wood smoke infused...

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks Sapo! Yeah.. too much gear is starting to become problematic :D

[@smetzgerful]

Any better than the broiler in your oven?

[@julian73de]

Looks great

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks Julian!

[@liatrasca4031]

Hi roel, thx for the video, one question, nobody has any comments about how much smoke this gadget will produce during the cooking of a steak with some fat on it, thx , vali

[@bradr539]

Way less smoke than a grill..

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Very expensive but nice product for sure, great video!

[@crazyjd64]

1000 bucks?! lol no thanks if 200 bucks i would totally buy it

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks... that would be great if they would cost only $200

[@clifflee5404]

I agree the price.....BUT, how many grills you know can reach 900°C or 1500°F? I'm guessing it's hard to find another device for the price. It's ok for home but for commercial it's too small.

[@turtletrade]

Namath Grill $199, buy a 5psi regulator to replace the stock one and it's just as good as this for WAY less

[@RhinoXpress]

don't worry i'm sure there are knockoffs coming that are a lot cheaper. 🙂

[@DigitaldogNet]

They have a newer less expensive unit that is $700. Same heat profile, but instead of the 'steeples' mechanism, cuts in the unit to move up and down. I did purchase this (Otto Light) but haven't received it yet. Yeah, $1200 is a hard price to swallow for many, $700 might be the hot ticket considering you get the same heat, but can't remove the top. Same size as the $1200 unit.

[@vaffanculo2958]

Does anyone have an gas oven and a broiling pan? Turn your broiler on high and place your rack to the highest level. The flames will almost be touching the steak 2 inch filet 3min each side you'll save $1000.00 your welcome

[@aschw2]

I like this one best as far as these type of machines ist concerned. I think it gives you more opportunities than the rather small Beefer and is better quality than the WeGrill. I would love to have one!!! Would I buy it? No, I don't rather do so many steaks that it would make sense even if I could afford it. And there are quite some other things on my wishlist before I would buy this machine with this price point.

[@PITMASTERX]

That makes sence... sounds like a good plan! :D

[@Randomnessextremez]

Why is it called Otto Wilde?

[@31Syd]

Mike Young it’s the person who developed the grill Otto Wilde

[@BigMaxGames]

It looks quite small to me. No more than two decent rib eyes so I don't think I would buy it for that reason alone.

[@DonCornelius366]

A broiler is only supposed to be the "finishing touches" though, right? Ovens seem to work perfectly fine for that. But, if this is specifically steaks and chicken, it might be a good idea. But, truth be told, its kind the same thing, just flipping the fire. I guess it has its useages. Dunno if I'd actually get one since I'm happy with the final product on the grill. Only time I actually use BROIL is the final touches of my duck breasts I think. Rarely ever use it.

[@PITMASTERX]

hmmm... yes, to by this machine at this price you must have a good use for it. I agree its for specific use where it shines

[@paulied31]

At $1000? No, but infrared technology is becoming more mainstream in cooking (like the Char Broil Big Easy) so hopefully costs will eventually drop.

[@PITMASTERX]

your right it's a bit pricy Paul... did you check the searzal on amazon? Infrared burner for $80

[@paulied31]

I've owned a Searzall for a year and have probably used it more for over-easy eggs than meat -doesn't live up to the hype.

[@marctemtemi4590]

I don't know if you're Dutch but this accent is killing me

[@denniskjrsgaard9052]

950 euro, that is insane. You Can get a Weber Genesis for that kind of money.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Dennis Kjærsgaard yes 💪🤓

[@Thefadax]

A Weber Genesis for 950 euros ? that is insane ,you can get a good mountain bike for that kind of money .

[@Marius-nk8hf]

Thefadax a mountainbike for 950€? That‘s insane. You can get (insert whatever you need for your hobbies) for that kind of money

[@stanleysmith5297]

What type of fuel connection? Why won't some people include that info?

[@PITMASTERX]

I differs for every country. If you ask the manufacturer they will ship you the right one.

[@Kosekans]

I Love the idea, but not the price 😀

[@picanha694]

1000 degrees fahrenheit*

[@futbol1972]

This ir a smoker?

[@reegyreegz]

No

[@vironized8606]

I love your Videos! But PLEASE change the music! 😂 Greetz from Germany!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Vironized thanks bro.. and thanks for letting me know

[@vironized8606]

Pitmaster X 😊

[@TheTravellingObserver]

“Charcoal barbecue” is the ONLY real flavour of barbecue. Everything else is a compromise. The only time I ise a gas BBQ is during summers when we in Ajstralia have fire restrictions and bans due to fire risk. come winters, and I do woodfire barbecue at least once every week and sometimes twice weekly. Also, I donr get this myrh od searing on very high temp hot grill or flame. A well heated cast iron grill at medium to medium high heat is the way to go otherwise it chars the surface of steak.

[@codename7832]

Ok $1200 for grill that bearly fits one steak? I understand it goes up to 900°C but give me a break ... its not even that well made. I can make perfect steak on my $699.00 Weber and actually grill 8-10 steaks at ones while cooking other stuff.

[@stripymccatpuss]

The gas controls are in a wierd place

[@PITMASTERX]

+stripymccatpuss maybe it would have been better on the side..👍

[@Magician12345]

oh god no. yeah it is very cool and in general i'd like to have it but i do not have that kind of money.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Magician12345 That is the problem.

[@spyroslamprinopoulos8568]

Magician12345 johohiibh

[@Magician12345]

wut?

[@adamshine5]

at $999.00 this is WAY overpriced. I wouldnt pay $50 for something like this.

[@QuickQuips]

It's 700 here. huckberry.com/store/otto-wilde/category/p/63489-otto-lite-steak-grill

[@BangBang-ew3wq]

its super but it should be perfected for the price.

[@kishaarethapaul1187]

Weird. This is very old. It's even been paten over again with a better design. And this guy I assume is the son of the inventor who I thought was a Federal Agent and inventor. My apologies.

[@medicmike4906]

WOW, I am blown away you mean it doesn't cook evenly on the edge of the cooker. If people are actually too stupid to figure this out you should just have someone else cook for you in order to keep you safe!

[@olmangolf]

THAT'S TOO MUCH. I use the 500,000 BTU Propane Torch Works great and much cheaper.

[@swimmingwithsharks7331]

1000 bucks,....daammmmm,....way to expensive,...if they can figure out how to lower the price than maybe I would consider buying one.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Swimming with Sharks it's a bit expensive, but its high quality..

[@KamenDragon]

yeah, it's expensive, but what did you expect? it's from germany and they're well known for high quality. i mean look at those craps from u.s. commercial shows... cheap price, cheap quality xD...

[@markpettigrew542]

When you're hot you're hot!

[@monk1100]

Haha you joking crazy price...

[@davidderoode3006]

Nine hundred fifty euro, negenhonderdvijftig euro. I would get a kamado then with grillgrates. This equipment is nice to see but not as versatile as a kamado. Or a gas grill for that matter... 950 euro... Plain out ridiculous.

[@PITMASTERX]

Hahahah its quite expensive David..and definitly not as allround as a kamado style grill

[@bobbillings]

I don't know why I'm here adding to youtube content creators income when anyone in the world now like this guy can make videos and with effort make a living. Time to get going and buy a camera

[@manfredmann9708]

silly beefer overprized

[@TrolleyDodgers]

Terrible review, didn’t even cook a steak and analyze and evaluate how well it came out?

[@painterdood2484]

This is great if you have money to BURN!

[@thomasrudder9639]

rip off

[@goodtutt4733]

Sound on video is OBNOXIOUS! Turn off the damn Nintendo if you're going to make a friggin video !!👎
