Camp Chef has a knack for reaching a moderate price point with products that cut production costs yet still manage to get the job done. There is a temperature imbalance between the lightweight hood and pizza stone over the burner, but setting Italia to medium heat produces a properly cooked pizza without burning the crust.

Smart grills and smokers are popping up everywhere, but Neevo is alone in the growing class of 2023 because it's the first, viable residential gas grill we've seen with both thermostatic control and 2 zone setup capability. And this model comes with an air fryer mounted next to the grill. Nexgrill is onto something with this unique device, but it needs work.

We always advise our readers to stay away from cheap offset smokers and jump straight to high-quality, heavy metal models. But Char-Griller's Grand Champ provides an intermediate alternative; not cheap as the $200 tin can models, but way less than classic quarter-inch steel competition smokers.
