Arizona BBQ Outfitters Scottsdale Cooker Review
Arizona BBQ Outfitter’s Scottsdale Cooker is a clever design that melds an adjustable height charcoal grill with a Santa Maria, vertical lift grill. Read our review of this unique cooker. Most vertical lift grills have no hood, which limits their capability to some degree. Scottsdale employs a removable hood and back windbreak.

Coyote CCX2-LP “Grill in a Box” Review
Cosmetic flaws might have been forgiven if performance shined as brightly as Coyote’s stainless hood. Unfortunately this grill has a remarkably uneven heat pattern, forcing one to constantly flip flop foods from the hot zones directly above the burners to various less-hot zones everywhere else.
