Southern Country Electric Smokers aka Meco Review
Meco, the company that owns Aussie Grills, sold two Electric Smokers under the Meco label, but recently decided to rename the brand Southern Country. We reviewed this model and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Masterbuilt 30″ Electric Digital Smokehouse with Top Control Review
Read our review. The Masterbuilt 30" Electric Digital Smokehouse with Top Control, (also made with the Cabela's label), is a clever concept, with flawed execution.
Cookshack Smokette Elite Review
Cookshacks are the gold standard for electric smokers. We tested and reviewed this one and award it our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal. The Smokette Elite has a 750 watt 7 amp heating element lets you cook up to 300°F. Impressively solid, it is stainless steel and very well insulated so it does not get very hot on the outside.
Char-Broil The Big Easy Electric TRU Infrared Smoker and Roaster Review
We reviewed Char-Broil's Big Easy Electric Infrared Smoker and Roaster. The 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.
Brinkmann Gourmet Electric Smoker Review
The Brinkmann Gourmet Electric Smoker is a cheapo painted steel bullet that comes in red or black. It has a 1500 watt heating element and lava rocks but, unlike the Meco or Char-Broil, there is no variable control or thermostat. We don't recommend this model.
Bradley Original Electric Smoker Review
We've heard complaints about the bisquettes sticking the feed tube. And one must ask, what if they go out of biz? Where do we get bisquettes then? On the plus side, Bradley has an active user forum and their staff are there to help. Still, after reviewing, we don't recommend this model.
Brinkmann Charcoal Bullet Smokers aka ECBs Review
Brinkmann Charcoal Bullet Smokers are also known as El Cheapo Brinkmanns or ECBs for short. They come in a few different styles: Gourmet, Smoke 'N Grill, Sportsman and Cook'N Ca'Jun II. The El Cheapo price makes them very popular, but we can't recommend any ECBs.
Rome Industries Adjustable Cooking Grate Review
Rome Industries' Adjustable Cooking Grate is designed to fit in a standard fireplace or a fire pit at a campsite. We reviewed this model and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Grillery Fireplacer Review
Turns your existing wood fireplace into a grill. An up and down shaft bolts to your fireplace wall then raises and lowers the grate with a crank wheel. We reviewed Grillwork's Fireplacer and it is beautiful and high quality, but pricey for a fireplace insert. You get what you pay for and this one gets our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.
Max Burton Stovetop Smoker Review
We reviewed this device which is very similar to the popular Cameron's Stovetop Smoker. Put wood chips or sawdust in the Max Burton Stovetop Smoker, set meat on the rack, slide the lid on, turn your exhaust fan on high, turn the kitchen stove burner on high, and in about 30 minutes you have smoked, moist meat.
Camerons Original Stovetop Smoker Review
We reviewed this indoor smoker and gave it our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal. Put two spoonfuls of hickory sawdust in Camerons' stainless steel pan and put the meat on the rack. Slide the lid on, turn your exhaust fan on high, turn the burner on high, and in about 30 minutes you have smoked, moist meat.
Smoke Hollow 44″ Dual Burner Gas Smoker Review
Read our review. The Smoke Hollow 44" Dual Burner Gas Smoker includes sausage hangers, jerky racks, and a two-sided combination cooking grid/rib rack. At 44" tall x 24" wide x 16" deep, this two burner smoker offers big capacity and lot's of extras earning our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
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.
