Masterbuilt 7 in 1 Smoker and Grill Review
You gotta love the versatility and price of Masterbuilt's M7P 7 in 1 Smoker and Grill. It can use either gas or charcoal as fuel. It converts into a brazier or a tripod for boiling water or deep frying. Versatility offsets the light weight construction earning our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Landmann Smoky Mountain 38″ Two Drawer Vertical Gas Smoker Review
Read our review of the Landmann (aka Great Outdoors) 38" Two Drawer Gas Vertical Smoker features a cast brass burner with rotary ignition. Lightweight construction give a flimsy feel to this cooker. The main door uses magnets instead of a latch and there is no insulation. We give this one our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Char-Broil The Big Easy Gas TRU Infrared Smoker and Roaster Review
Read our review of Char-Broil's Big Easy Gas Infrared Smoker and Roaster. It has a clever, innovative design looks better on paper than in practice. It takes up only a small footprint, but the same can be said of the other cabinet style, front loading propane smokers, and they all work better including the one by Char-Broil.
Char-Broil Vertical Gas Smoker Review
It is what it is. If you're looking for a cheap gas smoker Char-Broil is as good as it gets in this price range and you can easily find deals on this guy. Even Wal-Mart sells them for way under the manufacturer's suggested retail price. We reviewed this model and gave it our Best Value AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Camp Chef Smoke Vault 18″ Review
The Camp Chef Smoke Vault 18" is the smallest of their two gas BBQ smokers. It comes with two 15"W x 14"D cooking racks. You'll have to cut slabs of ribs in half to fit, but there is enough headroom to use rib racks on both shelves. We reviewed the 18" and award Smoke Vault our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
Brinkmann All-In-One Gas & Charcoal Smoker, Grill & Fryer Review
The Brinkmann All-In-One Gas & Charcoal Smoker, Grill & Fryer is a cheapo versatile bullet, but we don't recommend this model. .The newer Masterbuilt 7-in-One is modeled on this unit and is a lot better for just little more money.
Yoder Loaded Wichita 20″ Smoker Review
Yoder is revered by competition cooks for well-designed, high end offset smokers and grills.

This is the real deal folks and we give it our AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal Award.

Viking 30″ Gravity Feed Charcoal Smoker Review
Viking has an excellent reputation and it appears this smoker is well built. We believe it is built by a third party for Viking, and in the past Viking has put its label on Stump Smokers. But that relationship ended badly, so who knows how stable this relationship is?
Tremore Breeze Review
The hardest part of cooking with charcoal is holding steady cooking temperatures. Nathan Moore, a mechanical engineer, has designed a unique fuel feed system for Tremor Breeze that allows even novice smokers to hit and easily maintain smoking temps over a long duration and earns our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal..
