Humphrey’s BBQ Battle Box Smoker Review
We reviewed this mid-size, charcoal vertical cabinet cooker which is gaining popularity for home and competition use. Although crafted from heavy steel and 1200° insulation with locking latches that clamp the firebox and smokebox doors shut, it is not air tight and leaks smoke in certain areas by design.
The Good-One Heritage Oven Review

We reviewed Heritage and award our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
