Pitmaker MVP Tailgater

Portable charcoal/wood grill mounted on a trailer hitch. Based on Pitmaker’s cabinet smoker designs with a firebox on the bottom and cook chamber on top.

Aussie 4106 Swinger Square Utility Charcoal Grill Review

Aussie 4106 Swinger Charcoal Grill

Aussies are great for searing burgers, but not so much for roasting larger cuts, or cooking over a long duration. They have a very shallow lid, little air control and no ash removal system. We reviewed this model and awarded our Bronze Medal. Great portability, but limited for cooking capability.

Meadow Creek BBQ26 Review

Meadow Creek BBQ 26

Our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Platinum Medal goes to Meadow Creek’s BBQ26. Read our review of this unique grill; designed for fast and hot grilling, there is no better way to cook chickens than flipping them with Meadow Creek’s double sided grates. Though it looks like a simple black box, it is really a killer tailgater in disguise.

Traeger PTG Pellet Smoker Review

Traeger PTG Pellet Smoker

There aren’t many portable pellet smokers and the PTG (Portable Traeger Grill) is the smallest we’ve reviewed. With 169 square inches of cook surface and about 6 inches of head room, cooking possibilities are limited. Still this unique little cooker has some useful applications and earns our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
