Fontana Forni Toscano Margherita Outdoor Oven Review
Fontana considers The Forno Toscano Margherita Wood Fired Pizza Oven to be their signature product. Instead of bricks or cast refractory material, Fontana uses heavily insulated steel construction which heats up faster than refractory ovens, but cools off faster as well. It has a food grade stone floor. Read our review to learn more.
Fontana Forni Small-Est Outdoor Oven Review
Read our review of this cabinet style pizza oven. Unlike domed pizza ovens with an open front, Small-Est has a door with a window over the cook chamber, which is equipped with an interior light. A second door with sliding damper covers the firebox.
Earthstone 90-PA Wood Fired Oven Review
Read our review. Earthstone's 90-PA Wood Fired Pre-Assembled Oven is their most popular free-standing residential model. With a 35" cooking diameter interior and a 20" wide by 9.5" high oven entrance, it's big enough to do three to four 8" pizzas or two to three 12" pizzas. It is also available as a gas model.
Forno Bravo Primavera 60 Outdoor Oven Review
Check out our review of this pizza oven package which includes the refractory wood oven and chimney, metal stand, clay chimney cap, CD ROM for instruction, and a steel door with built-in thermometer. Built-in dial thermometers are inaccurate. Forno Bravo recommends getting an Infrared Gun Thermometer for an accurate reading of the floor and dome temps.
George Foreman 15 Serving Indoor/Outdoor Grill Review
Check out our review of the George Foreman 15 Serving Indoor/Outdoor Grill. It is an attractive electric cooker that can be used as a tabletop grill, or freestanding grill.
Cabela’s 7 in 1 Cooker/Smoker Review
Cabelas's 7 in 1 Cooker/Smoker is made by Masterbuilt and is identical to Masterbuilt's 7 in 1 Smoker and Grill. It can use gas or charcoal as fuel. It converts into a brazier or a tripod for boiling water or deep frying. Versatility offsets the light weight construction earning our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Bradley 6 Rack Digital Electric Smoker Review
The Bradley 6-Rack Digital Electric Smoker is a front loading cabinet smoker with a patented "smoke generator" on the side. Read our review. The smoke generator burns proprietary wood "bisquettes," puck like disks of compressed sawdust, and blows the smoke into the cabinet which has an electric cooking element.
Landmann Smoky Mountain 26″ Electric Smoker Review
This value priced smoker will get the job done, but read our review to learn why electrics are our least favorite smokers. Without combustion from a gas, charcoal or wood flame, you just don't good smoke flavor. Manufacturers use minimal ventilation to hold in heat: great for keeping foods moist, not so good for browning meat or crisping skin.
Char-Griller Table Top Charcoal Grill Review
Although these grills are popular and inexpensive, read our review to learn why we suggest you consider Weber's Jumbo Joe Portable Grill instead. Weber's superior construction provides much better heat control. It has almost the same amount of cook surface, costs less, and will last forever.
Southern Country 2 in 1 Water Smoker and Charcoal Grill Review
The Southern Country 2 in 1 Water Smoker and Charcoal Grill, as the name indicates, can be used as a bullet style water smoker, or converted to a "lock and go" portable grill. We reviewed this clever design which allows you to place the lid on the base and turn clockwise until it locks. We give it our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.
Bradley 4-Rack Digital Food Smoker Review
The Bradley 4-Rack Digital Electric Smoker is a front loading cabinet smoker with a patented "smoke generator" on the side. We reviewed this model. The smoke generator burns proprietary wood "bisquettes," puck like disks of compressed sawdust, and blows the smoke into the cabinet which has an electric cooking element.
Landmann Smoky Mountain 40″ Electric Smoker Review
Although we feel flavor from electric smokers is inferior, many people love them, and for some apartment and condo dwellers electrics are the only option that satisfies their building and association codes. This model should be a step up from the typical low cost smokers you find in hardware stores,
Masterbuilt 30″ Digital Electric Smokehouse Review
Masterbuilt's 30" Digital Electric Smokehouse is loaded with bells and whistles. Read our review of this thermostatically controlled smoker that allows you to set cooking temp from 100 ° to 275°. All functions can be controlled and monitored with an included RF remote. We give it our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
