Brinkmann Dual Function Charcoal/Gas Smoker and Grill Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

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.

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

Saffire Grill and Smoker is similar to the other egg shaped kamados. The most unique feature is a slot in the front to feed wood chips.

Bayou Classic Ceramic Cypress Grill Review

By:
