Brinkmann Smoke ‘N Pit Review
Cheap Offset Smokers like this Brinkmann can ruin your day, party and marriage. Don’t buy them! We have a lengthy dissertation explaining why. In short: they are hard to use and don’t produce the best results. This one is just like a Char-Broil offset and we suspect they are made at the same Chinese factory.

Just say no to cheap offset smokers like American Gourmet. Read our review to find out why. You definitely get what you pay for.

J&R Oyler 700 Review
Read our review of this commercial smoker. Eighteen racks, said to handle up to 1000 pounds, move slowly on a rotary carousel. The rotary motion promotes even heat and allows meats to self-baste as drippings are recirculated to the racks below. When the front doors are opened, dampers operate automatically to hold smoke in and prevent it from billowing out.
Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Pellet Smoker Review
This mid-sized pellet smoker is comparable in capacity to Traeger’s popular Lil’ Tex Elite, but much more sophisticated and easy to find for well below its list price. It’s one of the few pellet smokers we’ve seen with an ash removal system. We tested and reviewed this innovative smoker and gave it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
DCS 36″ Professional Gas Grill Review
DCS started the luxury stainless steel outdoor kitchen movement in the 80s. We reviewed this mid-sized three burner that displays the quality and innovation that keeps DCS on a short list for many independent hearth and patio distributors and earns our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
Traeger Junior Elite Pellet Smoker Review
As the name indicates, this is a smaller version of Traeger’s popular, full size, entry level Lil’ Tex Elite smoker. With 292 square inches of cook surface, Junior Elite is about 3/4 the size of Lil’ Tex. With the small size comes a small price. We give Junior Elite our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
Myron Mixon H2O 36 Water Smoker Review
We tested and reviewed the larger version of this big, beautifully designed smoker and gave it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. Fully welded with solid construction, H2O 36 incorporates Mixon’s signature water pan design with a clever auto fill feature. H2O 36 holds 16 slabs of baby back ribs and is big enough for a small pig.
Master Forge 32″ Charcoal Grill Review
This Grill is made by Dyna-Glo and an almost identical model is offered under their name. A lot of people like it, so we went to kick the tires and were sorry to find it is about as flimsy as flimsy gets. It’s so cheaply constructed that it made the POJ Char-Griller on display next to it look good.
Jambo Pits Economy Model Review
Jambo Pits’ offset smokers produce award winning BBQ in sleek, colorful trailer mounted rigs that often resemble hot rods. Read our review. Quality construction and thoughtful design features make Jambo the choice of many award winning competitive teams and earn our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
Pitt’s & Spitt’s Combo 18″ X 30″ Smoker Pit Review
Read our review. Although Pitt’s & Spitt’s Combo 18″ X 30″ Smoker Pit is one of their smallest models, with 810 square inches of cook surface it’s large for residential use. We like residential offset smokers with the firebox underneath rather than on the side because heat naturally travels upward, not sideways.
Party King SWING ‘N Smoke MVP Hitch Mount Swing Out Grill Review
Party King’s SWING ‘N Smoke MVP Grills are their most popular models consisting of a 3-burner gas grill mounted on a steel arm attached to your trailer hitch. The arm swings out and an adjustable stand folds down for added support and stability. We tested a smaller model and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal
Son of Hibachi Combo Kit Review
Son of Hibachi is two small Hibachi Grills connected with hinges that can be folded together then zipped up in a heat resistant carrying case for exceptional portability. Moreover the unique design makes starting charcoal a snap. Read our review to learn why we give this clever tailgating cooker our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
Cobb Premier Portable Charcoal Grill Review
The Cobb Premier Portable Charcoal Grill is a unique, versatile, stainless steel cooker that claims to do it all. Weighing just 8 pounds and needing only 8 charcoal briquettes to cook for 3 hours, Cobb Premier can grill, smoke, boil, fry or bake. Read our review, however, to learn why we don’t recommend it.
Volcano 3 Collapsible Grill Review
The Volcano 3 Collapsible Grill has a unique design that enables it to compress from 17″ height down to 5″ for easy storage and transport. Take it out of the storage bag and pop it open. When finished, the whole unit retracts back to fit in the carrying case. Pretty neat! We reviewed this cool cooker and award our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
