There's a social element to all BBQ, but read our review to find how Rockwell goes a step further with a roll top lid that can disappear completely, allowing grillers and guests 360 degree access to the cook surface and generous surrounding table space. This beautiful and unique grill earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.

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.

We tested and reviewed this modestly priced, 3-burner gas grill and awarded it our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. The Broil King Signet 320 is an entry level, 3-burner grill that packs a lot of value and power under the hood. It gets hot fast and is able to achieve high, searing temps that rival most comparatively priced gas grills.

Char-Broil's Simple Smoker With SmartChef Technology is an updated version of their Big Easy Electric Smoker. After testing Big Easy we were not impressed. Construction was flimsy and, as with most electric smokers, it didn't produce good smoke.

If you went to see the new Star Wars movie in full costume, (you know who you are), if you have a collection of unopened Star Wars toys proudly displayed on a shelf, if you BBQ with tongs in one hand and a light saber in the other…have I got a grill for you! This grill is hard to find in the USA, but we couldn't resist reviewing it anyway.

Livart's LV-982 is an indoor electric grill popular for Yakitori style grilling. Japanese Yakitori is bite sized pieces of chicken and veggies on skewers, however, the 982 is not limited to Yakitori and is often used to grill a variety of bite sized foods. We reviewed this model and awarded it our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.

We reviewed Nordic Ware's Stovetop Kettle Smoker and have to say it looks like it may be one of the better indoor smokers available, earning our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. Most indoor smokers have no lid or a shallow low profile lid. The 36550 has a high domed lid big enough for smoking/roasting a whole chicken.

We reviewed the Huntington 30040 which is identical to their 30030 except, for a little more money you get a side burner. Both grills are throwbacks to the first cast aluminum gas grills which began appearing in the early 1960s. This inexpensive, rust-proof grill gets our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal Award.
