The Best New BBQ, Grilling, And Griddling Products Of 2023
Published On: 1/25/2024 Last Modified: 6/11/2025
Wading through the endless array of BBQ, grilling, and griddling products can be a daunting task. Fortunately, though, the team at AmazingRibs.com cuts through the clutter with our hands-on, unbiased reviews.
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 our annual “Best New Product BBQ, Grilling, And Griddling Products” are selected from it.
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. Also, click here to learn more about how we conduct our unbiased reviews.
Now that 2023 has come to an end, we have taken a look back at our numerous product reviews and are pleased to share our staff’s picks for the “best of the best” new products of the year!
