We reviewed this party size charcoal smoker which fits nicely in any backyard and can perform with the pros in BBQ competitions. Wherever award winning BBQ teams are competing, it's a good bet you'll find Backwoods Smokers. The G2 Party earns our Gold Medal Award.

Oklahoma Joe’s Longhorn Smoker/Grill Review
Oklahoma Joe's is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, as the brand gains autonomy from Char-Broil and produces more models that are grabbing our attention. Read our review of Longhorn. It offers a step up from cheap offset smokers for a little more money than the tin can junker brands and earns our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal..
Char-Broil 2-in-1 Hybrid Propane Gas/Charcoal Grill Review
Char-Broil has done it again, literally. They released different versions of this basic design before. It's not a bad gas grill and not a good charcoal grill. We reviewed this model and strongly recommend folks who want to use both fuels in this price range, spend just a little extra and get separate gas and charcoal grills.
