Coleman Roadtrip Grill LXE Review
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.

GrillMaster 4-Burner Gas Grill Review
This cheap 4-burner gas grill has 12,000 BTU main tube burners, a 12,000 BTU side burner, and porcelain coated cast iron grates. DON'T BUY IT! You're much better off exploring our Searchable Equipment Reviews for something better.
Peoria Custom Cookers Meat Monster Review
A heavily insulated competition smoker with unique design features. It comes in two basic configurations: the Internal Firebox and the Meat Monster Offset Firebox We reviewed Meat Monster and award our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. Placing a firebox inside the smoker is very interesting.
Vision Classic B Series Kamado Review
We reviewed Vision's Classic B Series which is slightly larger than standard, 18" large round kamados and has some unique and interesting features. Vision kamados are rather well made, especially considering the modest price which is often reduced dramatically for promos. We give them our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
KitchenAid 720-0787D Gas Grill Review
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.
Lodge Sportsman’s Grill Review
Our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal goes to the Lodge Sportsman's Grill cast iron hibachi. We reviewed Sportsman. Even though the seasoned cast iron needs regular maintenance, most owners are crazy about this little grill and love it for camping, BBQ tailgating, picnics and patio use.
Belson PG-SLP Gas Grill Review
We reviewed Belson's PG SLP Commercial Gas Grill. This Gold Medal grill is a heavy duty 8-burner gas grill made with high quality 304 stainless steel and features commercial capacity and construction. The PG (Porta-Grill) SLP Gas Grill is Belson's basic model from which custom configurations can be created utilizing Belson's various options.
Vermont Castings 324 Signature Series Grill Review
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.
The Grill Tender Review
The Grill Tender is a computer controlled cooker that regulates user set cooking temps by mechanically opening and closing vents. We've seen only a few motorized vent control designs. One wonders how these Rube Goldburgesque solutions stack up against popular air controllers like BBQ Guru.
Royall Grills RG5000 Review
A large pellet smoker with an old fashioned Ortech style digital controller with notched temperature settings. We reviewed the RG5000 which Royall claims burns 2.35 lbs. of pellets/hour, but doesn't specify at what temp. They offer custom colors and stainless steel options
Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack FEC500 Review
The FEC500 is a big commercial/competition grade pellet smoker, the second largest in Fast Eddy's catalog. We reviewed this 100% wood burning, pellet fired rotisserie smoker which cooks 500 lbs. pork butts (hence the FEC500 name), 450 lbs. brisket, 150 lbs. ribs or 70 whole chickens fully loaded.
