Smoke Hollow 40″ Barrel Smoker Review
The Smoke Hollow 40″ Barrel Smoker seems very similar to the Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe and the Brinkmann Trailmaster. But it costs twice as much. We caution our readers to stay away from cheap offset smokers, because they are, well….cheap. And hard to use. But if you must have one, why pay more?

The Good-One Open Range Review
A charcoal grill with a smoker spliced on top. We reviewed The Good-One’s popular Open Range. This cleverly designed charcoal unit uses the same concepts of an offset smoker, but it works better. The Good-One lives up to its’ name and receives our Best Value AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal.
Onyx Oven Review
This cabinet style smoker can low and slow smoke, either with a water pan or without, and also be used for direct heat grilling or roasting.
Orion Cooker Review
We tested and reviewed this clever and unusual design. Well, maybe it isn’t that unusual. It is really a hi-tech variation on the cowboy method of cooking in a Dutch oven where the pot sits on coals and coals sit on top of the pot. Orion excels at keeping meat moist and cooking fast., earning our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal.
Char-Griller Smokin’ Pro Review
Read our review to find out why the only good thing we can say about the Char-Griller Smokin’ Pro is the price is unbeatable. Many wide-eyed first time smokers thought it made sense to buy this tin can as a starter model. The problem with the Smokin’ Pro and many other cheap offset smokers is they are hard to use.
Char-Broil Silver Smoker Review
Read our review to learn why we do not like or recommend cheap offset smokers like Char-Broil Silver. Yes, the sticker price is low, the big horizontal drum looks like your BBQ dream come true, and if you don’t mind spending time and money for parts, (not to mention ruined meat), you may eventually get one to work OK.
Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition Review
For about a hundred bucks more than Char-Griller or Smoke ‘N Pit cheap offset smokers you got an all-around upgrade: heavier construction, better wheels, handles and shelves; everything is a bit more sturdy. Trailmaster earns our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Bronze Medal.
Big Poppa’s Drum Smoker Kit Review
We tested and reviewed Big Poppa’s Ugly Drum Smoker kit that you can buy from for $140 and awarded our AmazingRibs.com Silver Medal. This kit reduces the cost, effort and probability for error when doing it yourself. Really. Much better than a cheap offset smoker, and just as cool looking.
