A hand made all American cooker with Argentine V-shaped grates that can be raised or lowered farther or closer to the fire.

This is one of the coolest grills we've tested and reviewed. Although it can cook anything, the unique design makes it a dedicated searing machine. It's the ultimate lean mean steak machine. We award this Tasmanian heat devil our AmazingRibs.com Best Value Silver Medal.
Char-Broil Santa Fe Charcoal Grill Review
The Char-Broil Santa Fe is similar in concept to their CB900X, but not in execution. It has an adjustable height charcoal grate, front door for easy fire tending and adjustable dampers, but it feels flimsy.

We reviewed this high quality charcoal roaster that use the basic design of the "Chinese Box". Meat is placed inside then covered with a tray of hot coal.
Cajun Grill Review
Cajun Grill makes six variations of this heavy duty cooker. We reviewed the Cajun Grill is their smallest with 468 square inches of cooking surface. It can grill, and, because it is long and narrow, it can be easily set up for indirect cooking and smoke roasting. It has a V shaped trough in which the charcoal grate sits.
Brinkmann Dual Function Charcoal/Gas Smoker and Grill Review
This was a popular, inexpensive combo grill that we didn't recommend. Now Brinkmann is out of business. A lot of combos are still around. We think you're better off getting two separate grills. Even a large Weber Kettle is under a hundred dollars.
Brinkmann Professional Single Zone Charcoal Grill Review
The Brinkmann Professional Single Zone Charcoal Grill is a Home Depot exclusive for under 200 bucks. Standing nearly four feet tall and a little over five feet wide, it is powder black, features 2 side tables, has 576 square inches of main cooking surface. That's enough main grill space for a large family dinner.
Saffire Grill and Smoker Review
We reviewed Saffire. It's similar in design and concept to the other egg shaped kamados, the most unique feature of the Saffire is an optional slot in the front to feed wood chips. It is available in several baked enamel colors and a table is available in several beautiful woods.

Primo’s Oval XL 400 is their largest Oval model. Primo’s claim to fame is the unique oval shape which enables true 2-zone cooking: something that standard round designs really can’t accomplish. We tested and reviewed this model and gave it our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.
