Best SMOKER/GRILL GOURMET BLK Deals

Customer Ratings:

This little smoker is a gem. It's easy to assemble, and easy to use. This barbecue is perfect if (like me,) you just want great eating with only modest fuss. It's more work than grilling meat, but much less work than with a more expensive smoker. Brinkman doesn't give you much control over the heat. And because of that, there isn't much to set wrong and ruin your dinner. The guys for whom barbecuing is a lifestyle, scoff over this unit. That's fine, because they love to tweak every minute detail in the quest to get the perfect ribs. If you're like that, you'll outgrow this unit quick. As for me, I set it up, check it once in awhile and happily eat great food a few hours later. The first time I used it, I lit too much charcoal, and I couldn't get the tempurature down to where I thought it should be (mid to low of "ideal range." It was getting late, so I swallowed hard and threw a rack of St. Louis ribs on it. They were supposed to smoke for 4-5 hours. But because it was so hot, they were done in about 3. You know what? They were fantastic. The next time I over compensated and used too little charcoal while smoking about 20 Sausages The tempurature fell, and wouldn't come up. So I just added charcoal, and waited a bit longer. We still had a great dinner that night. My point? Brinkman designed it so that it is forgiving, and dummy friendly.

The ad above mentions that it can be converted to a charcoal grill. Yes it can, easily. The unit has 3 main parts. The charcoal pan, the tube/cylinder and the lid. You can take just the pan and lid, and use it as a table top/portable charcoal grill. It's a little larger than a Smokey Joe grill this way. Or, you can also sit the tube/cylinder straight on the ground, and set the charcoal pan on top of it. That way you don't need a table, or to be on your knees. We are a family of 4, and find it to be just large enough for the four of us. If you're throwing a party, you're going to want to smoke something anyway, and the smoker can hold a whole lot of meat.

If you do buy this unit, it will work pretty good right out of the box. But for about 10 bucks and 30 minutes, you can make a really good modification that will make your charcoal burn longer. I did it, and it works great:

So far, I've done briskets, pork shoulders, chickens, turkeys and salmon, and everything has turned out grat. It's easy to use, easy to feed and keeps food moist; the water pan works as a buffer.

The review would be 5 stars except that the temperature gague says "warm" "ideal" and "hot," but neither the manual nor the company knows exactly what temperature range those words correspond to. I actually contacted them and asked, and the answers I got were imprecise.

I've found, for example, that "ideal" is great for doing a chicken in 2-3 hours, but you want it at the high end of "warm" cooler if doing brisket for 10-12. Otherwise, though, no complaints.

Purchased item from another website, but Amazon shipping and customer service is always great so have no fear buying from Amazon.

Thermometer unit has kitchen timer and temp sensing. Temp probe helped me deliver the best BBQ chicken I have ever grilled, perfectly cooked. Cooked NY steak the next night, perfect medium.

Pager unit works well everywhere in my house and yard (~5500 sq feet lot).

Love this thing and will be buying another for family!

I got this product during a Woot promotion and was very happy with it for about a year until it started reporting the wrong temperature, such as telling me that my kitchen was 135 degrees Fahrenheit (it is not). Apparently, the probe and its metal braid cable cannot be submerged, which I frequently do during cooking and when cleaning up afterward. Googling for a way to re-calibrate my unit, I found out that this is a common problem with this style of thermometer (not just this model), and that when it happens, it can be fixed!

Just put the probe in the oven at 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes to reset it to perfect working condition. This will evaporate off any water that is shorting out the probe from the inside. It works great again! No need to buy a new probe or a whole new thermometer.

Best Deals for AcuRite 03168 Wireless Cooking and Barbeque Thermometer with Pager

I purchased my AcuRite 03168 Thermometer about 3 years ago, and have used it about 30-40 times since in both the kitchen oven and in an outdoor smoker/grill. I've been highly satisfied with the results, as it's finally allowed me to accurately cook beef and pork roasts and large poultry to the desired level of doneness. The pager has proven to be a significant feature, as it allowed me to put my attention on other parts of a meal (or even other chores around the house) without fear of losing track of what's going on in the oven or grill.

Last night, though, the probe failed part-way through grilling a roast--yep, the dreaded HH failure. I wasn't aware of this issue until I scanned the Amazon reviews, so it caught me a bit off-guard. It was a bit disappointing to have what still felt like a new tool fail on me, particularly as I had always carefully cleaned and stored the probe as designed. I wasn't that thrilled to find that a replacement probe from the manufacturer cost $10 (including shipping), either.

So why is this a 4-star review? After looking at the big picture, I realized the following:

* I bought an inexpensive tool with a 1-year warranty that lasted me at least a full 3 years without a problem. Considering the lack of longevity built into the cheap electronic devices nowadays, that's about as good as I can reasonably expect.

* The probe and wire are detachable; as they are the single most likely point of failure in the system, this makes sense--the probe and wire are exposed to extremely high temperatures. If they hadn't been so easily replaceable, then I'd really have something to gripe about.

* With a replacement cost of the probe of $10 and an original price of $28, comparing this unit to the next-least-expensive cooking thermometer with a remote feature at $60 (the Maverick ET732; it has a large remote receiver, not a small, wearable pager; the latter makes more sense to me) means that I can afford to replace the probe 3 times before I break even--and that assumes that the probe on that $58 unit lasts as long as 4 probes on this one. Since the probes on the two units look identical (and that's true of almost every unit sold on Amazon in this price range; I wouldn't be surprised if they're all made by the same Chinese manufacturer), it's likely that the other unit's probe won't make it any longer than the probe on the AcuRite did. I'm probably still coming out ahead, even if I had to replace a probe every year (which I probably won't, since I don't use the thermometer that frequently).

So if you're cooking/grilling every week and want a thermometer that will last you several years without any failures or need for replacement parts, then by all means look for something that costs 4-5x what this unit does--it *may* be worth it to you (but I'd still recommend that you take a close look at the probe and wire assembly, to see if it looks any better that what comes with the AcuRite). For me, this thermometer makes sense, even if I do have to consider the probe to be a consumable item that's going to need occasional replacement. Over time, I'm still going to have saved money and enjoyed the benefits of cooking to temperature rather than by time.

I actually purchased this product off of Woot.com. It worked fine a couple times in the broiler, but since then it only reads "HH." Do not purchase this product.

I like many others had problems with the probe early when I owned this. I emailed the company and they sent me 2 new probes for free without any question(only asked for 1). I have taken care of the probe since I got the replacement and it works fantastic. DO NOT get the probe wet where the cord plugs into the probe or it will ruin the probe. DO NOT use the spot on the back of the device to store the probe. You have to wrap it too tight and it causes the cord to pull out of the probe. Follow these simple instructions and it will give you many years of enjoyment. If your probe is bad call or email the company they were very helpful.

I ordered a sear burner when I purchased my Bull BBQ grill a year ago, this thing is amazing! If you cook steaks this is a MUST! The sear burner puts out some serious heat and seals in the juice. mmmmmmm bloody steak juice :) .

These things are the bomb. We use them to grill haddock or cod on our outdoor grill and have perfect results every time. I won't get in to recipes, but with good quality fish and some seasoning you can have perfectly grilled fish in just a few minutes.

I bought these from Amazon since they are considered seasonal items in our grocery store. So... why not try Amazon instead! Sure enough, not only did I find the right brand, but there were also a variety of sizes that I did not know about.

These are truly disposable after each use, but you will be amazed at the results.

Buy Char-Broil Performance TRU Infrared 480 3-Burner Gas Grill

Customer Ratings:

This grill was simple to assemble with the exception of the clip for the side burner. I still have not figured it out and the manual and phone support were no help. Starts right up and is a good cooker.

But! The trying to clean the grates makes it the worst grill I have used. Very poor designed if you want to keep your grill clean and a surface that you cook raw meat on should be kept clean. This alone makes me hate this grill. If I still had the shipping materials I would send it back.

I bought this grille at Lowes, in a box, and took it home to assemble. It was only $280.00 then, and was a replacement for another brand that was recalled. I agree with the other review, it is a challenge to assemble, around 1 hour. But when you get it finished, hook up the gas, and turn it on, it is hard to beat! My brother went for one shortly after seeing mine, and he is even happier than me. Excellent grill, have not had any problems with it, is not rusted out, but I must say, it is important to keep it clean. The 3 burner tops come out, and you need to take them out and clean them regularly. My brother taught me that! All in all, it is a great grill and has lasted longer (burners not rusted) than any other grill to date. I noticed that there is a 500 square inch one, they might be different, but they look exactly alike and would have 20 square inches of difference (One Hamburger Patty) which is 4"x5". Happy grilling!

The finished product is acceptable and what I expected. I work for a mechanical contractor and am very good at mechanical type work.

The assembly of this grill was very difficult and some of the steps were poorly explained and nearly phsically impossible to perform because of accesibilty of the bolt and screw locations.

If I had it to purchase again, I would buy it where I could purchase it already assembled. I have not used it yet so I cannot comment on it's cooking performance.

King Kooker outdoor fryers are crap. The one I had fell apart after only one year; The burner snapped off at both joints.

I would highly recommend Bayou Classic brand for the following reasons: 1. The pot comes with a basket as well as a turkey rack. 2. It comes already assembled, except for the regulator. 3. It's much more sturdy and the welds that hold it together appear to be more durable.

Do not waist your time and money buying this item.

When I placed this unit on a level surface, it wobbled back-and-forth because there is a 1/8 inch discrepancy in the build. I'm sure the discrepancy would be fine if you were using a heavy pot of oil/water, but I purchased this item for a wok and cast iron pan, which doesn't have the weight to eliminate the wobble.

I was going to have the welding department at my office fix this item but they told me it wasn't worth their time. They also pointed out all the poor welding... This unit will be sent back to Amazon!

Discount Masterbuilt 20040210 18-1/2-Inch Kettle Charcoal Grill

Customer Ratings:

This has been a great grill so far this season! While the build probably is not as solid as a similar Weber, the much lower purchase price makes up for this. The handles are very solid and made of an insulated material that doesn't get hot as it lays against the hot grill. The ash collecting canister beneath is very useful it will neatly gather ashes from around 12 pounds of coals before needing to be changed. Another nice feature of this grill is the hood found on the underside of its lid this hook allows me to hang the lid on the side of the grill while I cook, which is convenient. As with any 18.5 inch grill, this will well serve a household of 2-4 people; any more, and I would recommend upgrading to a larger diameter. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

Considering it is half the price of a Weber, it certainly does the job. Mine was perfectly sturdy once assembled and has done a fine job of cooking. My only real issue is with how quickly the legs have started to rust. I have it covered (Weber cover even) and still the legs are really rusty. I don't know if the same thing would happen with a Weber but I can buy two of these that will last my over four years for the same cost so I will.

It is quit large and firm. Looks luxurious (at least when it is new). It is shiny also.

However, you need to assembly it by yourself, which will take you about 1 hour after dinner time..

Over all, you will love it.

I found this grill on sale at about half the price of the equivalent weber grill, and thought I was getting a bargain. I figured a grill was a grill it just doesn't seem that complicated. Big mistake. This grill is a cheap piece of junk. It takes two people about an hour to put together, some of the screws were missing and others were stripped (this did not look like a return). Overall, poorly designed for assembly, worse design for use, unlikely to stay in one piece for long. It's cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

Best Camerons Products Smoker Bag Deals

Customer Ratings:

I am excited, to do a review, on these new Emeril Smoker Bags from Camerons products.

First thing I noticed when opened was the bag is very big and hold a lot of meat, fish, vegies, pork, whatever you want to get some smoke on.

This smoker bag, will work in the oven ,on the grill ,or over coals on a campfire.

The 3 ply makeup of this bag , includes a separate chamber ,with hickory chips, syrup, and sugars ,that mskes the smoke ,that travels,into the other part of the bag where the food is and imparts a moist, smokey, flavor, that takes whatever is in the bags taste, to a new level.

Once you remove the food ,you fold,and toss, the smoker bag, in the garbage ,it's that easy. I highly recommend this bag ,because it is so easy to use ,and you end up with a very flavorful, finished, product.

I hope this review, is informative ,and entertaining ,and will help you make an informed buying decision.
