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.

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.

BBQ Pro 4 Burner Gas Grill with Stainless Steel Lid Review
The 4 Burner Gas Grill with Stainless Steel Lid is the largest model offered under the BBQ Pro name. Sears obviously believes the stainless steel lid on this economy gasser is a big selling point and they may be right. In any case, the phrase "stainless steel lid" is inserted seemingly at every possible opportunity
