Blaze Prelude 25″ 3-Burner on Cart, MSRP $1,950

Blaze is a new brand with an interesting history. Parent company, BBQGuys.com, carries a vast catalog of products for cooking, grilling and entertaining, including a variety of popular gas grill brands. This basic model has few frills, but is beautifully made in high grade 304 stainless steel with a seamless welded hood and 8 mm stainless rod grates. It has three heavy, cast stainless burners with 14,000 BTU each. Flame stabilizing grids blanket the burners to spread heat and reduce flare ups. Removable dividers between each of the main burners accentuate heat zone separation. On “High”, it can hit 650°F, with the optional IR ceramic sear burner, Blaze blasts to 850°F. It’s a breeze to swap out one of the mains for the sear burner, because all burners slide in and out of valve posts at the front by the control panel and are held in place by cotter pins at the back: No tools needed. We tested the next size up, Blaze 32″ 4-Burner. Click here to read our complete review. Specify LP or NG, with or without a cart.

Weber Genesis SX-335 Smart Gas Grill, MSRP $1,349

Weber’s popular Genesis Gas Grills are a perfect option for those who have grown tired of constantly replacing cheap entry-level gassers and want better quality, performance, and durability. Weber’s 2022 models are, in many ways, the best Genesis lineup yet. We tested and reviewed the EPX-335 porcelain enamel coated model which is identical to the stainless steel SX-335 aside from the finish. Click here to read our full Platinum Review.

Broil King Keg 5000 With Cover, MSRP $1,044

All kamados, including the Broil King Keg, are good at smoking, roasting, baking, and searing thin meats and the thick walls make them impervious to cold, but they’re typically made of ceramic which is very heavy and can crack if dropped or knocked over. Not the BKK. It is made with modern, lightweight fiberglass encased in powder coated steel: not light enough to pick up and carry around but easy to lift off the base and pop onto the optional trailer hitch. And if it does get dropped it won’t crack like Humpty Dumpty. This is the Low & Slow Pro Package with Meat Claws, Marinade Injector, and Keg Diffuser Kit. Click here to read our complete review of the Broil King Keg 5000.

Hasty Bake Legacy 131 Charcoal Grill, MSRP $1,199

Since 1948 Hasty Bake has made charcoal cookers with a unique design that specifically enables owners to easily and effectively smoke, grill and super-sear with one unmodified cooker and no optional add-on devices. The adjustable coal tray moves up and down with a crank on the left side. A large door on the right side gives complete access to the charcoal tray to easily add coal and move it around for 2-zone cooking. There is a removable heat deflector above the charcoal grate to improve indirect cooking. Hasty Bakes are made to last and many families hold onto them for generations. The company even offers restoration on old models. Our president, Meathead, says Hasty Bakes are his favorite charcoal grills. Period. Made in the USA.

Modern Home Products JNR4 Gas Grill, MSRP $1,340

Modern Home Products pioneered the first gas grills in the early 1960s. This model harkens back to those days with a classic, super thick cast aluminum cookbox that is virtually indestructible and carries a limited lifetime warranty on just about everything. Instead of flavorizer bars over the burners to protect them and incinerate drips, it uses rust-proof, kiln fired, porcelain coated ceramic briquets. The appearance may lack sizzle, but people who own these heavy aluminum grills get hooked on the way they cook. If you could see it through their eyes, it wouldn’t look like a big black box at all. Still made in the USA in Antioch, IL. Click here to read our complete review of the Modern Home Products JNR4.

The Portable Kitchen PK360 Grill and Smoker, MSRP $899.99

Portable Kitchen’s motto, “Built To Cook. Built To Last” is backed up by numerous testimonials of loyal fans who lovingly pass down their indestructible PKs from one generation to the next. The heavy, rust-proof cast aluminum construction and marine grade stainless steel grates on PK360 look slick, provide superior performance and should last a long long time. PK360’s flat bottom and rectangular shape, coupled with a 4-point venting system make it particularly well suited for two zone cooking with one side set for moderate, indirect heat and the other for hot, direct heat. 4-point venting consists of 2 unusual, cylindrical intake dampers under the charcoal grate, with 2 corresponding exhaust dampers on the lid for excellent air control from side to side and bottom to top. Click here to read more about the importance of 2-zone cooking. This baby easily pops apart for camping and tailgating with no tools needed. Simply loosen three knobs that hold each side shelf and one large knob that bolts the grill to the pedestal stand. You can leave the stand at home because the grill bottom has built-in feet to stabilize 360 when set on the ground. Click here to read our complete review.

They say that innovation comes in all shapes and sizes and the Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center immediately speaks to that.

Pit Barrel Cooker, MSRP $399

There’s nothing else like it on the market. $399 delivered to your door. Open the box and start smoking. No assembly, no baby sitting and great results every time. If you’ve wanted to get a dedicated smoker or replace a cheapo rust bucket that never worked well anyway, the PBC beats anything in this price range hands down.

It’s a variation on the Ugly Drum Smoker or UDS, but the drum is slightly smaller and, although it comes with a grate, for most recipes you hang the meat vertically from hooks – even turkeys! Your jaw will hit the deck as you pull one round of deliciously smoked meats after another from this magic drum with little more effort than trimming and seasoning. Furthermore the meat hanging method provides beaucoup capacity. PBC easily accommodates eight full slabs of ribs. Whether you’re a novice or an award winning competitor (and competition teams now use them), Pit Barrel is a welcome addition to any backyard.

Why is the Sweepstakes limited to US residents?

Most countries have laws governing contests like this to make sure they are honest. In the US they are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. It cost us $3,000 to have lawyers write the rules above that put us in compliance with US law and we pay an annual fee to have the winner drawn at random by a third party. We have members in more than 20 countries and we could never afford to do legal compliance for all of them. In addition, many of the manufacturers do not ship outside the US, and even if they did, the shipping costs and customs charges are prohibitive. But there are many many other good reasons to join.
