The grate is hinged so you can easily add wood or charcoal, or adjust your fire without removing the grill grate. Read our full review.

Called a “Mini Supoon” by the manufacturer Dreamfarm, this nifty spoon/spatula combo scrapes and measure every last drop from jars and containers. It's cheap and comes in several sizes. With a nylon handle and silicone head, its clever bent handle lets the spoon sit up off of the counter so there's never a mess.

We reviewed the Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250 pellet grill which is their most popular mid-size model and rivals the best thermostatically controlled cookers in the business. This premium set-it-and-forget-it pellet smoker does not disappoint, although all cookers have their little quirks, and Pitts & Spitts is no different.

Francis Mallmann, acclaimed, Argentinian celebrity chef and restaurateur, partnered with upscale, USA retailer, Best Made Company, to create Mallmann's Grill. Read our review. It may not be the most practical choice for most cooks, but it appears to be well suited to some of his primitive, rustic styles of open-fire cooking.
