If you are in the market for a great high-end gas grill, read our review of the Landmann Professional Series Ardor 5-Burner Gas Grill which delivers across the board – from assembly to heat control to clean-up and more. The grill is constructed almost entirely of 304 grade stainless steel, meaning it not only looks good. It is built to last.
The Hestan GMBR36-LP is one of the best gas grills we have tested and reviewed. Period. And we've cooked on a multitude of gassers. There is so much right about this innovative design we struggle to find something to criticize. Hestan easily wins our AmaziingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
We reviewed this solid, premium 4-burner grill made with 16 gauge high quality 304 stainless steel. Angus makes it easy to cook a wide variety of recipes and we love the powerful, unique design of the cast stainless steel burners pumping 15,000 BTU a piece. Our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Gold Medal goes to Angus.
We tested and reviewed this big, beautifully designed smoker and gave it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. Fully welded with solid construction, H2O 48 incorporates Mixon's signature water pan design with a clever auto fill feature. It's fully insulated with double walled construction and filled with "military grade insulation".
The American Muscle Grill is a unique, luxury gas grill that looks and cooks like a high performance hot rod. We testing and reviewed this super charged beast and gave it our Gold Medal Award. Find out why tough guys like Sylvester Stallone are in hog heaven cooking on AMG!
The Weber Summit Charcoal Grill is a radical departure from George Stephen's original Weber Kettle and Weber's first major upgrade to the kettle in decades. It is bigger, badder and more versatile with a price tag to match. We tested and reviewed this excellent cooker and awarded it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
