Horizon 30″ Double Door Smoker Trailer Review
Bigger is better! Horizon feels their 30" offsets distribute and hold heat more evenly than junior models. We reviewed this big boy with a 72" horizontal cooking chamber and is mounted on a large trailer. Horizon classic 1/4" pits receive our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal Award.
Crown Verity Tailgate BBQ Grill tg-1 Review
Read our Crown Verity review. Tow this crowd pleasing 6-burner beast where you like. With almost 1000 square inches of cook surface and a large 46" x 21" hood this baby is feast capable and can even handle a whole hog.
Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack FEC100 Review
Fast Eddy's by Cookshack FEC100 is the smoker that competition teams dream about when they are sleeping in a tent next to their smoker so they can get up at 3 a.m. and shovel in more coal. You can set it and forget it just like an indoor oven. We reviewed FEC 100 and give this famous smoker our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
Bubba Grills 250 Reverse Flow Smoker/Grill Review
Read our review. Bubba Grills 250 Reverse Flow Smoker/Grills and trailers have many options and range in price from $2600 to $4400. The loaded models have two 61" x 21.5" top cooking racks, a 61" x 25.5" bottom rack and four 24" x 28" racks in the rib box. All models come standard with 15" wheels.
Brinkmann Roadmaster Review
The Brinkmann Roadmaster is their Dual Function Charcoal/Gas Smoker and Grill on wheels. We don't care for these combo side-by-side grills. That said, if you want a grill on a trailer, you'll be hard pressed to find a package like this for $1000. We give this our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Backwoods Smoker Competitor Review
Wherever BBQ teams are competing, it's a good bet you'll find Backwoods Smokers. We testing and reviewed Chubby and gave it our Gold Medal Award. This charcoal smoker is at home in the backyard or competition field. Backwoods Competitor is a big boy capable of handling 32 slabs of baby back ribs!
Smokin Tex Residential BBQ Smoker Model 1400 Review
The Smokin Tex Residential BBQ Smoker is essentially a clone of the Cookshack Smokette Original Model SM009. The SmokinTex has larger capacity, slightly more wattage, four wheels instead of two, five racks instead of three, it comes with rib hooks and a storage cover. We reviewed Smokin Tex and give it our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Big Chief Electric Smokers Review
We reviewed this inexpensive, electric smoker and award our Silver Medal. It is primarily used to make smoked fish, cheese nuts and meat jerky. But not suitable for cooking large BBQ items like brisket. Small and lightweight, fishermen love their Big Chiefs. It's perfect for fishing trips when you have access to electricity.
Pro Smoker ‘N Roaster PK100P Review
We reviewed Pro Smoker's PK 100. Pro Smoker claims it can cook at a lower temp than most other electrics, starting at 60°F, low enough for smoking cheese without melting it and for smoking sausage without cooking it. It can heat up to 250°F: high enough for cooking the classic barbecue smoked meats like ribs and brisket.
Old Smokey Electric Smoker Review
The Old Smokey Electric Smoker is a drum shaped electric smoker that's been around since 1953. There's something here to love, but is it just nostalgia? Read our review. Be that as it may, many owners are nuts about their Old Smokeys earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal. AmazingRibs.com.
Southern Country Electric Smokers AKA Meco Review
Meco, the company that owns Aussie Grills, sold two Electric Smokers under the Meco label, but recently decided to rename the brand Southern Country. We reviewed this model and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Masterbuilt 30″ Electric Digital Smokehouse with Top Control Review
Read our review. The Masterbuilt 30" Electric Digital Smokehouse with Top Control, (also made with the Cabela's label), is a clever concept, with flawed execution.
Cookshack Smokette Elite Review
Cookshacks are the gold standard for electric smokers. We tested and reviewed this one and award it our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal. The Smokette Elite has a 750 watt 7 amp heating element lets you cook up to 300°F. Impressively solid, it is stainless steel and very well insulated so it does not get very hot on the outside.
Char-Broil The Big Easy Electric TRU Infrared Smoker And Roaster Review
We reviewed Char-Broil's Big Easy Electric Infrared Smoker and Roaster. The clever, innovative design looks better on paper than in practice. It takes up only a small footprint, but the same can be said of the other cabinet style, front loading propane smokers, and they all work better including the one by Char-Broil.Up Your BBQ IQ By Joining The Pitmaster Club
