I've waited almost a year before writing this review because I believe it takes that long to really test a grate for warping, etc.

This grate really does the job. The original was a source of irritation because it simply couldn't take the heat of normal grilling and high temperature cleaning without warping.

This one is much better. At the same time I bought these grates, I bought the stainless flavorizer gizzies. They, too, are worth the extra money.

Product avertised as Stainless steel cooking grates for $24.95. I received porcelain enameled cooking grates. Called vendor and was told that it was a mistake in the ad. The porcelain enameled grates were $24.95 and the stainless steel were $49.95 so they sent me porcelain enameled which i didn't order. Reordered stainless steel grates from another vendor because they told me i couldn't get the ones i wanted until i returned that ones i didn't order and i did not want to wait that long. They told me they were going to send me a return label which i still have not received.

Buy King Kooker 00068 V-Shaped Stainless-Steel Strainer Rack

King Kooker 00068 V-Shaped Stainless-Steel Strainer Rack
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This heavy duty rack consists of two flat pieces of stainless steel that are hinged on one end so that it opens like the jaws of a pair of scissors. When you lift the strainer basket out of a hot pot (such as when boiling crawfish), this rack lays across the top of the rim of the pot. Then you set the basket on the rack so that the hot liquids can drain cleanly/directly back into the pot. It is sanitary, safer and more stable than using a stir paddle which is what I previously used for this. This rack works perfect in conjunction with the Bayou Classic basket assist lift bar. No spills, burns or messes.

This was my 1st food thermometer purchase, so I cannot compare it to others. The item is ok. It gives a reading with colors, but it can be confusing, as when the meat is rare it does read red, which is ok, but when it is med, it seems all the colors appear, not sure if that is ok with me. But I just started to use it. Perhaps I might prefer something that gives a readout with actual temperature

Hard to tell how something is made and works by seeing a small photo. I wanted something to grill small items like cut vegetables where I could close the grill top for more even cooking and smoke flavor and flip everything at once. Well, there seems to be 2 major problems. First, the wires do not form a tight grid for keeping smaller pieces from falling through, although that is what it looks like in the photo. Instead, they are pretty far apart (about 3/8 to 1/2 inch) and parallel--they only have 2 wires running crosswise at 90 degrees on each side. The grid look in the photo comes from the wires on the top and bottom running at 90 degrees to each other. SO LOTS OF STUFF FALLS THROUGH. Second, the handle requires a good grip and is in bad need of a locking device so you don't have to maintain the heavy grip on the basket when you flip and move it.

This said, the basket would probably be good for hardy cuts of fish and thick burgers--(thin delicate fish might have an issue being flipped with the thickness (interior height) of the basket). For cut veggies, it is pretty useless. Forget asparagus, cut peppers, cut onions, etc.

I returned it.

I needed a grilling basket to gril fish and veggies, and needed one with a removable handle for my gas grill. I've used it weekly since buying it and it works perfectly. I spray the food or the grill basket with cooking spray first because others reviewers report a problem with food sticking and no food sticks for me. Well, except for the marinated fish I burned, but that was my fault...

Great value for the price. Well-made, cleans up quickly in the kitchen sink (I would not put this in the dishwasher given that dishwasher detergent can be abrasive).

Best Deals for Charcoal Companion Ultimate Rectangular-Shaped Nonstick Grilling

This is a nice grilling basket. I can't give it 5 stars because the handle can not stay on when cooking, if you choose to keep it on. I bought it because the handle does come off and it is a lot easier to wash in the dishwasher. The basket has side slots to insert the handle and you must squeeze the handle tight to keep it on or else it just comes off.

So far I only tried this cooking fish. The fish stuck to it so I guess I should have sprayed it with cooking spray. All in all, it is a nice grilling basket and deep enough to grill anything.

Honest reviews on Charcoal Companion Ultimate Rectangular-Shaped Nonstick Grilling

i used this basket for the first time last night. the size is just right on my average-sized weber gas grill, covering a little less than half of the grill's surface. the distance between the two basket halves is about 7/8" and held the jumbo shrimp, sliced pears & mangos, and tomatoes nicely. the spacing between the wires is about 3/8". this might allow smaller items to fall out, but cutting everything about 3/4" seemed to work fine. previously i had a basket with a non-detachable handle and gave it away after one use. not being able to close the grill to trap the smoke and flavors was a big negative. the detachable handle on this basket works fine, but it does take a bit of grip when turning, and i did use two hands when taking the grilled food back into the kitchen. it was a little tricky opening the hot basket to empty the grilled goods, but no big deal. not quite perfect, but close to it.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Charcoal Companion Ultimate Rectangular-Shaped Nonstick Grilling

The Grilling basket is OK but for steaks, the meat needs to be very thick otherwise, they slide around when you move the basket. Have not tried it with fish probably same issue will apply, must be a thick cut or the fish will slide around inside when you move/flip the basket.

This is the only solution to replace a burned electrode wire and broken ceramic in a Magma BBQ. Seemed like overkill to have to purchase the spark generator in order to get the ceramic electrode and wire. The package contained two types of electrodes (no doubt for the different models) and the spark generator. The spark generator and electrode for my 'kettle' style BBQ fit properly and work well. Sure wish they used stainless steel for the mounting tab on the electrode because this is what rusted and failed on the old one and eventually caused the wire to fail and the ceramic to crack.

Honest reviews on Magma Replacement Piezo Igniter with Wire, Electrode and Screw

Imagine you just spent hours getting the grill apart and re-installing the igniter. It's all wired up and you give it a shot and nothing. Again & again you try .... nothing. Then you dig the old one out of the trash [thank God it was not yet dumped] and it works like a charm! Bottom line the only thing in that box worth a damn was the wire which was already installed. Can't return it because I used the wire. Bottom line I'm pissed to put it mildly. Only good thing is that the grill's up and running and I've used it several times with no problems. The wiore's solid.

Charcoal Companion Nonstick Single Grilling Kabob Baskets, Set of 4 Reviews

Charcoal Companion Nonstick Single Grilling Kabob Baskets, Set of 4
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
The baskets are OK; I would not rely on the non-stick coating as stuff still sticks; easily solved with a light application of cooking oil. Pretty handy for turning over food that might be too small to put directly on the grill. I used these on a gas grill so I could not close the lid to keep the heat up.

The metal clip holding the top to the rest of the basket is pretty flimsy; count on having to replace it fairly soon with a wire (hint: a paperclip straightened out and then wrapped through the end works quite well).

I used the Kabob baskets and the meat stuck to the wire. I sprayed them with Pam the second time I used them and the meat stuck. After 20 minutes of scrubbing I threw them in the trash.

purchased these thinking that i would no longer have to use those wooden disposable skewers, but i was very wrong. these are poorly made and for some reason designed to have the metal wrap around the handle (metal conducts heat and this nonthreatening wooden handle is quite deceptive). Also the food sticks like crazy to the baskets, and the worst part is that most shish kabob ingredients don't come close to fitting in the basket. whole button mushrooms don't even come close to fitting. I used them twice and then tossed them for the Cabinet space

Honest reviews on Charcoal Companion Nonstick Single Grilling Kabob Baskets, Set of 4

I used these to prepare kabobs for guests the weekend after they arrived. Most veggie items did not fit well in the baskets, so I ended up just doing the meat in the baskets and doing the veggies in a saute pan made especially for the grill (which is nice, because it allows you to add veggies in stages based upon the cooking time required). The baskets are anything other than non-stick, even when pre-coated with cooking spray. The thin connecting hinges used to hold the top of the baskets to the base parts are worthless and expand when heated. They failed on all of the baskets half-way through cooking and fell off. Luckily the metal slide used to secure the tops to the bases after filling kept the baskets secure until cooking was completed, but the hinge pieces had to be reconstructed with pliers after cleaning. Cleaning was a nightmare. Because the non-stick feature was useless, the baskets required a TON of scrubbing. Scrub sponges and brushes made especially for non-stick coated cookware were completely ineffective, and I resorted to something more abrasive, which ended up removing the "non-stick" finish in several areas. The baskets were so difficult and time consuming to clean, that I considered just throwing them away after finishing the first one. I pursued the chore, however, because I hate wasting money that way. I spent at least 20 minutes (probably more) scrubbing the baskets AFTER having let them soak overnight, which negates one of the primary features of BBQing the ease of clean-up. After having toiled over their cleaning and having reconstructed the hinges on them, I placed them in the cabinet with the sad feeling that probably I will never use them again because it was such a negative experience. I'll probably throw them away in the future when I'm making room in the cabinets.

This seems like a sturdy product that would last a long time, but there seems to be no way to adjust it once it is over the fire. The height adjustment is attached right to the grill, making it very hard to adjust once the grill gets hot. You would either have to use a grill mitt or some kind of tool to keep from getting burnt.

I bought this smoker last spring and, though it wasn't the one I actually wanted, couldn't pass it up due to the price, ($70 at Walmart. Goes for $139 now). I just read the review about the guy who hated it and I'm scratching my head. It is a fairly cheaply made smoker, but all my parts were there and went together pretty easily. The one design flaw truly is the water pan/wood chip pan combo. You can't foil the water pan due to the shape, so you always have to clean a very dirty water pan. I don't even use the water pan very often now. I just put my own little pan of water on the bottom. But there's nothing wrong with steam when your smoking. That's why you have a water pan, it turns to steam and helps meat to be moist. Other than that, I love my smoker. I've done ribs, brisket, shoulders, turkey and chicken, salmon, and they all have been awesome! I've read reviews where the doors have leaked smoke but I don't have that problem. It uses very very little gas and the temp. is not a problem. 220 is easy, (actually I have a hard time in the summer keeping the temperature down to 220) and can get it up to 300 or so for pizza. I love being able to control my smoke amount and temperatures independent of each other.

Overall, this is a great, inexpensive first smoker. Take some time to study smoking and you'll love it!!!!

This smoker has a very poor design; first you have to be very careful when pulling the racks out as they have no stops on them; second it burns too hot even on the lowest setting. I thought I had a bad regulator so I contacted the company who, after putting me through many hoops, charged me shipping for the new regulator, it had the same poor performance; thirdly, the inside is rusting form the moisture because it is not properly coated. The water will boil out of this smoker pan in less than two hours and you must frequently wet the chips to keep them from catching on fire.

Best Deals for Char-Broil CB-600X-LP Vertical Gas Smoker

I bought this smoker because I have already purchased a grill from Char-Broil and it has been an excellent BBQ. The frist thing I smoked was baby back ribs. They turned out great. The only thing I encountered was I could not get smoker up to 225 degrees until the water all boiled out. Don't know if this was due to being a windy day or what, will have to experiment more. I do however suggest you put the water in the pan then put your wood chips in. Only becasue the water spilled over in the chips section from filling the pan or closing the drawer. Had to take it out and start over 45 min into smoking.

Honest reviews on Char-Broil CB-600X-LP Vertical Gas Smoker

I have had this smoker for over 2 years now. I bought it primarily to smoke salmon.

The main problem was controlling the temperature The fish would be cooked before getting much smoke.

What you get is an OK metal smoke box. 4 racks. Flimsy sheet metal legs. A reasonable burner, controller, regulator, a fairly useless enameled water-chip pan, and a totally useless in the door thermometer. Not an unreasonable package for the price under $150 at Walmart.

What I did to make it work.

1 Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to fit the base and screw the legs to it. I raised the platform by putting 1X2 cleats on 2 sides so a hand truck will slide under it. It is now portable so it can be stored. The provided handles are not enough.

2. Get a good probe thermometer. The one in the door of my unit read 225 when actual temperature was 325. Even if the thermometer in your unit is accurate the position in the door will make it unreliable.

4. Get rid of the combination water chip pan and replace it with a wire rack, steel smoke pan and separate cake pan for water and to catch drips.

I can now see the burner and have found I can control the flame by rotating the control clockwise between full and off. Probably not designed to work this way but it works.

I happened to have all the pieces but even if you bought them you would have a workable unit at a reasonable price

I have found that I can make delicious smoked foods with this smoker. Typically, I make brisket and have found that the long process is made easier by the access doors which do not let smoke out when adding more wood chips. I have used Char-Broil's different flavors of wood chips; they have mesquite, hickory and apple wood. To start, I leave fat on the meat to keep it moist and tender during the smoking process, that way I don't end up with shriveled meat like some of the other reviewers have dealt with. After use, I have found the small maintenance has kept my smoker in good condition. This smoker is great, it might take practice to figure out the art of smoking, but the end result can be delicious!
