Pitmaker BBQ Vault Smoker Review
Pitmaker's popular BBQ Vault cabinet smoker has big capacity. Each shelf is designed to hold two standard catering pans. We reviewed these solid, heavily insulated cookers which are known for durability, superb performance and colorful finishes. These well made, well designed smokers get our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
Lang 36″ Hybrid Patio Model Review
Read our review of Lang's 36" Hybrid Patio Smoker combines their popular 36" residential smoker with a 30" charcoal grill. We always give thumbs down to low cost combos that are a gas grill bolted to a cheap offset smoker because each side is poor quality Not so with Lang's superb Hybrid which earns our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Lang 36″ Original Patio Model Review
We tested and reviewed this model. Like all Lang smokers, the 36" Original has their signature reverse flow design which some believe provides more even air and heat flow than traditional offsets. We award our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal to this model which is Lang's most popular for residential use.
