We reviewed this inexpensive gas grill. If you're really have a tight budget, you can pick this up for way below the MSRP. Many people have and seem reasonably happy to accept this grill for what it is โ made cheap to sell cheap and hopefully last at least a few years. We give Advantage our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.

The Good-One Marshall is a big combo grill and smoker recommended for hunting clubs, tailgating, competitions, or light commercial use. We reviewed this cleverly designed charcoal unit that uses the same concepts of an offset smoker, but works better. The Good-One lives up to its' name and receives our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.

One of Ole Hickory's smaller BBQ smokers made exclusively for Big Poppa Smokers. We reviewed this model. Unlike Ole Hickory's large smokers with rotating carousel shelves, the Ace BP has three slide out, 26.5" x 26.5" nickel-chrome cooking racks. We like Ole Hickory and Big Poppa so this gets our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.

Read our review of the Coleman Roadtrip LXE which is a two-burner portable gas grill on a fold-up cart. The two 10,000 BTU burners have a unique round design. They are covered by an oval heat diffuser that evens out heat across the coated cast iron grates and sizzles drippings to flavor foods. Our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal goes to LXE.

Chinese manufacturer Nexgrill licensed the KitchenAid name and slaps it on the lid of some basic gas grills. We reviewed this 3-burner which appears to perform OK and may not be a bad deal if you can catch it on sale. And it's always on sale.

Fit and finish were decent, but the internal components don't exhibit the look or feel of quality one expects in this premium price range. We don't recommend this model.
