Char-Broil 3-Burner with Side Burner Review
It's not our first choice by any means, but if you really have a tight budget, you could sure do a lot worse. Many people who own one of these economy grills seem reasonably happy to accept them for what they are – made cheap to sell cheap, earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Cooker with Cart Review
By replacing the heavy ceramic used for thousands of years with modern lightweight materials, Char-Griller appears to have created a cooker that performs pretty close to traditional Kamados at a fraction of the cost earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal Award. This model comes with a small cart.
Masterbuilt Dual Fuel Smoker Review
Masterbuilt's Dual Fuel Smoker has a "Flame Disc Bowl" located above the gas burner and under the water bowl. It can be used for wood chunks when smoking with gas or, alternatively, filled with charcoal. Hence the Dual Fuel moniker. We reviewed this model and award our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Vision Professional S-Series Kamado Review
Read our review of Vision's Professional S-Series which has some unique and interesting features not found on other ceramics. Their ProZone System is a slide out ash tray with dual intake dampers and a slot for the included electric fire starter. It can also convert to a gas grill! Vision S-Series earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Landmann Smoky Mountain 34″ Two Drawer Vertical Gas Smoker Review
The Landmann (aka Great Outdoors) 34" Two Drawer Gas Vertical Smoker features a cast brass burner with rotary ignition. Lightweight construction give a flimsy feel to this cooker. Read our review. The main door uses magnets instead of a latch and there is no insulation. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Englander 21-PG100 Review
Englander's 21-PG100 Pellet Smoker was designed in conjunction with Fast Eddie Maurin, whose award winning pellet smokers are well known on the competition circuit. We reviewed this model which indeed has many similarities to Fast Eddy's PG500. Unlike most pellet smokers both the PG100 and PG500 have one direct and two indirect zones.
Cajun Fryer, aka R&V Works, Cajun Express Smoker Review
We reviewed this unusual device. The Cajun Express Smoker is a pressure cooker with smoke. Moisture is introduced into the double walled, sealed smoke box via a patented hydration system. Wood chips create smoke within the high pressure, humid environment cooking meats quickly while imparting smoke flavor and retaining moisture.
Dyna-Glo Gas Vertical Smoker Review
We reviewed Dyna-Glo's Gas Vertical Smoker And found it is an average cooker, built OK for an OK price. Most gas smokers are pretty generic, but get the job done and we far prefer them over electric smokers. So this one receives our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal Award.
Cal-Flame P5 5-Burner Gas Grill Review
Cal-Flame's P5 40" four burner is one of their more popular models. We reviewed this model which is loaded with great features and constructed from top quality 304 grade stainless steel.

Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Performance 3-Burner Review
This 3-burner is a mid-size model in Char-Broil's Performance line. Performance uses a single piece of stainless steel for the cooking grate. It gets very hot and radiates heat evenly across the surface. We reviewed this TRU-infrared model and award our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
Crown Verity BM-60 Charcoal Grill Review
The Crown Verity BM-60 Charcoal Grill is a professional BBQ grill for rental and catering. We reviewed this big event grill. The 72" x 31" heavy duty nickel plated cooking grate is reinforced to prevent warping and has a lip around the perimeter to stop wayward sausages from rolling off. This popular 60" model earns our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
Broil-Mate 4-Burner 712364H Review
Broil-Mate's 712364H is a mighty nice 4-burner for the money that earns our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. Made by Onward Manufacturing, the same folks that make Broil King. A a great choice for those who want something better than bargain basement brands and are willing to spend a couple hundred bucks more for quality.
