Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, the AmazingRibs.com team has scoured this year’s various hands-on product reviews to create a “best of the best” list for 2022.
Because we never do sponsored posts and do not accept payment from brands in exchange for positive reviews, you can rest assured that the products below were selected solely based on their merits.
In fact, our Keeper of the Flame, Max Good, is the only person in the world whose full-time job is testing, researching, reviewing, and rating grills and smokers. Good measures temperatures, slams lids, turns dials, studies warranties, kicks casters, cooks a lot of food, and considers look, feel, functionality, durability, and price. Good maintains the world’s largest searchable database of 600 outdoor cooker ratings and reviews and this year’s Best New Products were selected from it.
GrillGrates amplify heat, prevent flare-ups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily moved from one grill to another. Click here for more about what makes these grates so special.
– THIS IS NOT AN AD –
Similarly, Bill McGrath, an electrical engineer, uses sophisticated lab equipment to test and rate dozens of thermometers every year. McGrath’s Best New Products were chosen from more than 200 handheld, wired, and wireless remote thermometers that were lab-tested and reviewed, all of which can be searched here.

Now on to our curated list of the best new BBQ and grilling products of 2022!
