Dyna-Glo Gas Vertical Smoker Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

The Cal-Flame P5 5-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. This AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal winner includes a griddle tray, smoke tray for wood chips, rotisserie with 15,000 BTU Infrared back burner and custom cover.

Char-Broil TRU-Infrared Performance 3-Burner Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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 the Char-Broil TRU-Infrared 3-Burner and award our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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.

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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.

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

Chinese manufacturer Nexgrill licensed the KitchenAid name and slaps it on the lid of some basic gas grills. Read our review of the KitchenAid 720-0819A Gas Grill here. This 2-burner appears to perform OK and may not be a bad deal if you can catch it on sale. And it's always on sale.

BBQ Pro 4-Burner Gas Grill with Stainless Steel Lid Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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

Char-Broil Combination Charcoal and Gas Grill Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

This Char-Broil Combination Grill model may be a little better than other inexpensive combo grills, but read our review to learn why we can't recommend it. It's an appealing idea, but you're better off getting separate grills. Even a large Weber Kettle is under a hundred dollars and there's no shortage of low cost gassers at all the big box stores.

Smoke Hollow Charcoal/Gas Grill Model 1800CGS Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

We don't recommend most side by side smoker grills. Read our review to learn why. Charcoal/Gas combo grills like this Smoke Hollow 1800CGS model are offered by a lot of manufacturers. For about the same cost, two separate grills are a better option. Even Weber kettle charcoal grill can sell for under a hundred dollars and you trip over all the low cost gassers every time you walk Lowes or Home Depot.

Charmglow 95 Inch Luxury Island Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

This "Luxury Island" created a compelling picture and offered visions of grandeur – a spectacular outdoor kitchen in a box. Take a hard look at the price tag then look again without rose colored glasses. This "luxury" patio island is poorly designed and poorly constructed with cheap materials.

Char-Broil Classic 6-Burner Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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 the Classic Series 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.

Backyard Grill 4-Burner Gas Grill Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

As the name suggests, the Backyard Grill 4-Burner Gas Grill is a generic gasser. We can't recommend this brand which is made for those who are more interested in price than performance and durability. It has four 12,000 BTU main burners and a 12,000 BTU side burner that is flush mounted on the right side shelf.
