Black Olive's patented design is billed as "The World's First Pellet Kamado Grill". The novel concept grabbed the attention of many. If Black Olive had worked as envisioned by the creators, and been brought to market for the right price, it couldda been a contender. Alas we cannot recommend this product.

FireDisc claims this device is, โthe most versatile outdoor grill in the market todayโ. We tested and reviewed it. Yes it is a metal surface with a gas burner that will cook whatever you place on it, but it is really not a grill or WOK. It is a Northern Mexican Discada earning our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.

This Broil-Mate model is a throwback to the very first gas grills. We reviewed this inexpensive grill and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. It has a cast aluminum cookbox which will last longer and retain and distribute heat way better than all those cheap, flimsy stainless steel gassers that are so popular in the big box stores.
