Kenmore 6 Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill Review
Kenmore's 6 Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill is big and shiny. What it lacks in quality, Kenmore tries to make up for with size, knobs and doors. We reviewed this model. It has six low power 8000 BTU stainless steel tube burners and a 13,000 BTU side burner. It comes with coated cast iron grates.
Cookshack Charbroiler CB036 Review
The Cookshack Charbroiler CB036 is a commercial, pellet fired grill meant for professional use. We reviewed the 36" model.
Pitmaster IQ120 Review
See the complete review of the Pitmaster IQ120, a straightforward temperature controller for charcoal grills and smokers. We gave it a Gold Medal for good performance and low price.
ThermoWorks DOT TX-1200 Review
The ThermoWorks DOT TX-1200 is intended for use in food while cooking. It has a large readout, an easily-set alarm temperature and a long probe cable. It has a rapid response time that would allow it to double as an instant-read thermometer if desired. We gave it a top rating for its build quality and performance.
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.
Traeger Select PRO Pellet Smoker Review
The Traeger Select PRO is a large residential pellet smoker mounted on a double door cart. Although it has an upgraded digital controller, it is still an older style notched dial control like those made by Ortech. Not as good as a touch pad, but not bad. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Traeger Lil’ Tex PRO Pellet Smoker Review
The Lil' Tex PRO is a medium size starter model in Traeger's line of residential pellet smokers. Although it has an upgraded digital controller, it is still an older style notched dial control like those made by Ortech. Not as good as a touch pad, but not bad. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Traeger Texas PRO Pellet Smoker Review
The Texas PRO is a large model in Traeger's line of residential pellet smokers. Although it has an upgraded digital controller, it is still an older style notched dial control like those made by Ortech. Not as good as a touch pad, but not bad. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
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 the Coyote CCX2-LP "Grill in a Box" 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.
American Barbecue Systems Judge 4 Ft. Review
Read our review of this unique commercial cooker. American Barbecue System's Judge 4 ft. is a large capacity smoker suitable for commercial and competition use. It has an electric rotisserie that rotates meats on eight stainless steel shelves. As the rotisserie racks move in a carousel path, juices drip to the racks below to self-baste.
American Barbecue Systems Pit-Boss Review
American Barbecue System's Pit–Boss is a large capacity smoker suitable for residential and commercial use. Read our review of this unique design. It has an electric rotisserie that rotates meats on eight stainless steel shelves. As the rotisserie racks move in a carousel path, juices drip to the racks below to self-baste.
American Barbecue Systems Bar-Be-Cube Review
American Barbecue Systems Bar-Be-Cube is a charcoal cabinet or vertical smoker with a couple neat design twists. Read our review. Four of the five stainless steel shelves inside the smoke box may be accessed by the front door, while the fifth sits on top under a hinged hood like a regular charcoal grill.
Cookshack SuperSmoker Review
Cookshacks are the gold standard for electric smokers earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medals. Read our review of the Cookshack SuperSmoker which is a mid-sized model with a 750 watt 7 amp heating element. Impressively solid, it is stainless steel and very well insulated so it does not get very hot on the outside.
Kamado Joe Big Joe Review
Kamado Joe BigJoe is a well crafted, red ceramic cooker that presents strong competition to other 18" models in the premium priced market with a number of remarkable upgrades that exemplify the elegance and innovation that are hallmarks of Kamado Joe.
