Our full-time BBQ gear tester hand-selected the cream of the crop
Our Keeper of the Flame, Max Good, is the only person in the world whose full-time job is testing, researching, reviewing, and rating grills and smokers. Good measures temperatures, slams lids, turns dials, studies warranties, kicks casters, cooks a lot of food, and considers look, feel, functionality, durability, and price. Good maintains the world’s largest searchable database of more than 600 outdoor cooker ratings and reviews. Our annual “Best New BBQ, Grilling, And Griddling Products” are hand-selected from this extensive database.
Similarly, Bill McGrath, our on-staff electrical engineer, uses sophisticated lab equipment to test and rate dozens of thermometers every year. McGrath’s Best New Products were chosen from more than 200 handheld, wired, and wireless remote thermometers that were lab-tested and reviewed, all of which can be searched here.

Weber Searwood 600 Pellet Grill Review And Rating
Weber Searwood 600 Pellet Grill is an all-in-one pellet smoker/grill that produces great smoke flavor, aroma, and color whether doing low and slow ribs at 225°F or sizzling steaks at 600°F. It doesn't get hot as a charcoal grill but out-sears a number of gas grills we've tested, all while producing some of the best smoke quality we've experienced from a pellet burner. Read our detailed review.
Traeger Pro 22 Pellet Smoker Review And Rating
The Traeger Pro-22 is a mid-sized pellet smoker with straightforward controls but no interface with smart apps that reside on phones and tablets. While lacking in some of the common features, this unit is a good option for the price-conscious consumer. Check out our review to learn more.
Camp Chef Woodwind Pro Review And Rating
Camp Chef Pellet Grills have a knack for coming up with simple solutions to common pellet grill complaints and here they go again. To increase smoke flavor on their Woodwind Pro, Camp Chef adds a Smoke Box that slides in from the front over the firepot and burns wood chunks over the wood pellet fire. Does it work? Read our review to find out.
Current Model G Dual Zone Grill Review And Rating
Live fire cooking will likely not disappear, but may thin out in our backyards, just as gas cans and internal combustion engines are thinning out in our garages, driveways and sheds. For those who cannot have live fire due to restrictions, and for those who choose not to have live fire for whatever reason, Current has a lot to like. Read our review.
