Pit Barrel Junior 14-inch Review
Pit Barrel Junior is a smaller version of the popular Pit Barrel Cooker charcoal smoker. Both are designed to produce a cooking environment in which one temperature fits all. This AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award winning smoker is one of the more impressive products we've tested and reviewed.
Cuisinart Petite Gourmet Tabletop Gas Grill Review
The Cuisinart Petite Gourmet Tabletop Gas Grill is Portable with a capital P! Small and lightweight the design favors style and mobility over performance.

Portable Kitchen PK360 Grill and Smoker Review
PK360 takes all the great elements of the classic 1952 PK, improves the design, beefs up construction and delivers one beautiful charcoal grill. We tested and reviewed this classic, versatile charcoal grill and gave it our Best Value AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. The rectangular shape makes it a 2-zone king.
Red Box Smoker Review
We tested and reviewed Red Box and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal. A similar version of this portable charcoal smoker was previously offered by the venerable Backwoods Smokers as their Patio model. Since the 1980s Backwoods has made top quality smokers for home, catering and competition.
Broil King Keg 5000 Review
We tested and reviewed the Broil King Keg. It's not a fragile ceramic kamado, but an insulated steel kamado for less money. Originally The Bubba Keg, then The Big Steel Keg until bought by Onward Mfg. This AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal winner is loaded with extras. An optional trailer hitch let's you easily transport Keg 5000.
Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #18 Medium Review
The Old Smokey Charcoal Grill #18 Medium is a drum shaped charcoal grill that's been around since 1953. Read our review of this antique design. There's something here to love, but is it just nostalgia? Be that as it may, many owners are nuts about their Old Smokeys earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal. AmazingRibs.com.
FireDisc 36″ Red Review
FireDisc claims this device is, “the most versatile outdoor grill in the market today”. We tested and reviewed it. Yes it is a metal surface with a gas burner that will cook whatever you place on it, but it is really not a grill or WOK. It is a Northern Mexican Discada earning our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.
CanCooker Original Review
Read our review about this upgraded riff on the old practice of slow cooking meat and veggies in a cream can. CanCooker receives our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. The CanCooker Original has a four gallon capacity and is said to feed up to 20. Great for hunters, campers and tailgaters. Just throw it right on an open wood fire and start cooking!
Cabela’s 7 in 1 Cooker/Smoker Review
Cabelas's 7 in 1 Cooker/Smoker is made by Masterbuilt and is identical to Masterbuilt's 7 in 1 Smoker and Grill. It can use gas or charcoal as fuel. It converts into a brazier or a tripod for boiling water or deep frying. Versatility offsets the light weight construction earning our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Char-Griller Table Top Charcoal Grill Review
Although these grills are popular and inexpensive, read our review to learn why we suggest you consider Weber's Jumbo Joe Portable Grill instead. Weber's superior construction provides much better heat control. It has almost the same amount of cook surface, costs less, and will last forever.
Southern Country 2 in 1 Water Smoker and Charcoal Grill Review
The Southern Country 2 in 1 Water Smoker and Charcoal Grill, as the name indicates, can be used as a bullet style water smoker, or converted to a "lock and go" portable grill. We reviewed this clever design which allows you to place the lid on the base and turn clockwise until it locks. We give it our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.
Blackstone 36″ Griddle Cooking Station Reviewed And Rated
The Blackstone 36" Griddle Cooking Station is an interesting, low cost, large capacity, portable cook top. Griddles are different from grills and we love our open flames, but boy oh boy….people who own these are nuts about them! And so are we. Check out our review to find why this fun cooker earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Camp Chef Explorer EX60LW Review
We reviewed Camp Chef's Explorer EX60LW which is one of their most popular outdoor cooking systems. Two powerful 30,000 BTU cast aluminum burners with wind screens on three sides and adjustable height legs for set-up on uneven surfaces provides plenty of BBQ fire power and earns our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
