Cajun Grill Review

By:

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

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

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. 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

By:

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

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

By:

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

We reviewed the Saffire Grill and Smoker. 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 Oval XL 400 Review

By:

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.

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 reviewed Primo Oval Junior and award our Best Value AmazingRibs.com Platinum Medal. Junior is their smallest model.

Bayou Classic Ceramic Cypress Grill Review

By:

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

We reviewed this pretty kamado. From a distance, the Bayou Classic Ceramic Cypress Grill has an attractive, rustic look reminiscent of hand painted Japanese ceramics. Up close, one begins to notice where corners have been cut. Not as cheaply made as Char-Griller's Acorn Kamado, but not in the same league as competitors like Kamado Joe and Big Green Egg.

Broil King Keg Review

By:

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

We tested the Broil King Keg. It's not a fragile ceramic kamado, but an insulated steel kamado for less money. Originally The Bubba Keg, then The Big Steel Keg until bought by Onward Mfg. This AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal winner is loaded with extras. An optional trailer hitch let's you easily transport the BKK.

By:

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

This 24 incher puts the BIG in Big Green Egg. Big Green Egg is often viewed as the industry standard.

We reviewed the Big Green Egg XLarge Ceramic Cooker model and award our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal.

Big Green Egg Large Ceramic Cooker Review

By:

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

For many, the Big Green Egg is the Weber of Kamados. They introduced Kamado cookers to the USA and are often viewed as the industry standard. We tested and reviewed the Big Green Egg Large Ceramic Cooker and award our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal. They are mighty good, but many new comers to the kamado market are trying harder and offering more innovation.
