Ordered them and they came a day earlier than expected. Good service and everything fit as advertized. I would order this product again when my grates wear out in about 2 to 3 years.

Had a hard time finding the size I needed, but I got on the phone with Market Merchants and they couldn't have been more helpful. The porcelain coating makes all of the difference. They clean easily and are a heavy duty product. A real up grade, and significantly less expensive than every other site I checked.

Best Char-Broil 463269011 Rugo Two Burner Infrared Grill Deals

Customer Ratings:

I saw this model very favorably reviewed in the latest Consumer Reports. The size and price were perfect for our limited use. Now it's assembled and we've cooked on it a number of times, we're extremely happy with everything about it. It cooks beef, pork, shrimp, hamburgers and ribs quickly, yet in a controlled manner. The only down-sides I can report would be assembly. The instructions started out very detailed and accurate, but toward the end, they get a bit vague and I had to depend on intuition and common sense. It took the whole afternoon, but I'm sure it is correctly assembled. There were some chafed areas where the finish had been rubbed thin, but overall the packing was very complete. The infrared method appears to be an improvement over the flame method of cooking. The flame is there, but it never touches the meal and the cooking area seems to heat much quicker and can go much hotter, if desired. The cooking area is totally satisfactory for a meal for four. I'd recommend the grill on the basis of price, appearance and performance to anyone.

Bought one pre assembled at Lowe's and was initially quite happy. Especially after the cooking grates were nicely black and seasoned. However after having it stored and protected for the winter I found that the ignition switch bracket cracked and broke, the rivets holding the tool holder inside the door rusted and broke off, and one of the thermometers is broken. I live in western Washington, so our winters are pretty mild, so I find this pretty disappointing. I take excellent care of my toys, and having spent over $400 on a grill and accessories only to have it fall apart in less than a year is extremely annoying.

This is large and I can read it from inside my house through a window while the grill sits on my back patio. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars only because I thought it was a bit pricey. It works fine though.

I ordered two because they were in stock and it is summer. The thermometers work fine both read boiling water at correct temperature they are suppose to. they fog up and are hard to read but color code helps. This company took two weeks to get them to me , now understand they are round mechanical thermometers in blister packs. I do not understand why it took so long to fill read that ship an item that was in stock. It felt like i was being punished for not paying more for shipping never again. Buy it at a local retailer.

We own a Kenmore grill which had really terrible grates. This was one of Kenmore's removable grate system that we thought would work out well. But the grates that came with the grill were not working for us. They were wider than normal grids and heat distribution was a problem. As a result of that, food would get stuck on it and it was close to impossible to clean them. And of course cleaning them after every grill use was just a waste of time. Didn't leave me any time to enjoy an extra beer :).

But these grates are nice. They are close to what you get with a Weber or a more expensive grill. They are cast iron and porcelain coated which makes for even heat distribution. We threw some steaks on them right out of the box and they worked fantastic. Also, they come in three separate pieces and were a perfect fit for our grill. I would highly recommend these as replacement grill grates.

I have used the grid at least 20 times since the purchase and I have not had any issues. It was exactly the size that i needed and it was very easy to install. I always make sure that i clean the grid off after each use and oil up the grid once I start up the before use. I will wait to see how it will hold up over the winter, but I am expecting it to do well. Living in the midwest allows us the pleasure do some grilling in the snow every winter.

Nice idea, but unless the sizes are EXACTLY the same, the food slips out. For hard foods, such as carrots, the clamps can't grip the food. Really defeats the purpose. On the up side, they seem easy to clean, but I doubt I'll use them again. I just dumped the vegetables in heavy duty tin foil which did a better job than these clips.

Review of Smokehouse Products Mini Chief Top Load Smoker

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $119.95
Sale Price: $89.99

I've owned a Mini Chief smoker for more than 10 years, and I still use it at least weekly.

I've smoked many pounds of Salmon, whole chickens, turkey legs, ribs, etc.

When I follow directions, it works perfectly. The problem is that many users don't understand how to properly smoke.

If you can fit it in the smoker, it will smoke it. As with any smoker, meat should be cooked "low and slow", with low heat, over several hours.

A whole fryer chicken, which I brined over night, took about 6 hours, and was as tender, juicy and delicious as any other method I've used to cook a chicken. I snack on delicious smoked Salmon daily, and it's as good or better than any that I've bought in the store.

Btw, I highly recommend Alder wood for fish and poultry do a web search for "justsmokedsalmon" for more info, recipes and great prices on Alder wood chips.

The Mini Chief maintains an internal temp of about 250-275 degrees, the perfect temperature for proper smoking.

It does get harder to maintain proper temps in cold and/or windy weather, but I just use it in a semi-sheltered corner area next to my porch. I've used it on windy, 15 degree days with no problem other than adding 30-60 minutes on to the cooking time. I set the thermo. up so I can see it from my kitchen window, so I don't have to run outside to check it.

Also, I use a thermometer with a remote probe so I can monitor the temp. of the meat without removing the lid, otherwise you lose the heat you built up and will add hours onto the cooking time and/or dry out the meat. I highly recommend you get one, you won't be sorry.

Oh, yeah, the book contains instructions for smoking cheese. You can cold smoke with it if you are careful.

The only issue I would have if I were to buy another one is the size. Depending on what and how much you intend to smoke, you may do better with a larger smoker, but it will be almost twice the price. Also, it would be nice to have a front loading model, but that has never really caused a problem, it would just add convenience.

Had a Little Chief smoker (20 years old). Decided for my type of smoking I would get a mini-chief. It was 3 shelves vs 4 shelves, but being much shorter in height,I really liked that feature. I mainly smoke lake trout and venison. Smoker worked excellent. Took about 5-6 hours smoking time and the results were fantastic. Bought the insulated blanket which I thinks really helps a lot. Also purchased the shelf pads which greatly helps in laying the fish and meat strips on the racks. They are easy to clean.

Smokehouse Mini Chief Smoker (Purchased on 04/27/2011)

I received the Mini smoker and was surprised at the poor quality. the bottom which is staked in was crooked by at least 1/4 inch preventing the smoker from siting flat on the bottom. the bracket holding the heater which was to be welded, was broken free. the top cover would not fit on to the unit until I bent the edges on both the top and the housing. there was a dent in the side of the housing, but nothing wrong with the cardboard package that the unit came in, meaning the dent was made at the factory and shipped that way. I wrote all this up with photos and sent it to the smokehouse factory, only to say that we should all buy American made products, but the manufacturer would have to do their part in providing a decent item. I waited close to a month before reviewing the smoker, hoping to hear something from them, I have not heard a word, which makes me think they don't really care. I repaired all the problems and used the smoker on my last fishing trip. It was OK.

Honest reviews on Smokehouse Products Mini Chief Top Load Smoker

This review is written by someone who used one of these for a couple years, as our first smoker, and recently switched to a "real" smoker.

WHAT IT IS

Its an aluminum box, with a lid on top and an electric heating element at the bottom. Inside is a metal framework with three trays. You lift the frame out through the top, put food on the trays, and put the frame/food back. You put wood chips in the (included) metal pan, then slide the pan through a trap door so that it sits on top of the heating element. The heat makes the wood chips smolder and burn, and the smoke infuses the food. A pan of wood lasts 1/2 to 1 hours, then needs to be refilled. Amazon sells wood, so does our local grocery store.

WHAT IT IS NOT

Other "smokers" are also slow cookers. Like the Chief they burn wood, whose smoke also infuses the food in them. But they get their internal temp up to (a controllable) 225 350 degrees F, and slow cook the food. Put in meat, take out food.

Chief smokers will not cook your food. They get their internal temp up to some (uncontrollable) temp in the mid-100s and that's it. This is not enough to cook your food. Put in raw meat, take out smokey raw meat. If you want your food cooked, you'll have to take it out of the Chief smoker and move it to the oven for cooking.

As a "smoker" in the usual sense of a smoker-slow-cooker, the Chief should get one star. It doesn't do what "smokers" need to do.

As a "smoke infuser," which just puts smoke in the food, I'd give it 4 stars.

GOOD

Does a good job infusing smoke in your food.

Smaller than "real" smokers. Light weight, easy to carry. Fits conveniently on a shelf in our garage.

Light weight, but not flimsy. We used it often over 2 years, and it held up fine.

.

BAD

Doesn't cook the food. I guess this isn't a problem unless you think it is. Just move the food to the oven for cooking. But in our experience oven-finishing the food always ended up making smoky oven-cooked food. It didn't produce "smoked" meat like we were looking for. Now that we've switched to a "real" smoker, we're much much happier with the results.

Too hot for cold smoking. We hoped to use the Chief to cold-smoke salmon for lox. This doesn't work. The mid-100s degree temp partially cooks the fish, and what comes out is definitely not lox.

Expensive, relative to good functional gas smokers, which sell for pretty much the same price.

BOTTOM LINE: Does a good job at what it does. "Real" smokers do more. Now that we've experienced a "real" smoker, we'd never go back to a Chief.

I bought my husband a mini smoker for CHristmas so we could eat more locally. He fishes and we smoked the trout that he caught. The taste is like candy believe it or not! It is so sweet and delicious. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it really smokes and no matter how far away from the house it is, smoke and smell get everywhere.

Cheap Bayou Classic 0-30 PSI Adjustible Regulator/Hose Assembely

List Price: $58.00

I bought 2 of these and put them on my Bayou Classic SP2 double jet burners. HUGE improvement over the 20 psi regulators that came on them. (I think SP2 burners now come standrad with this regulator).

I used them for the first time this past weekend on a 1000 pound crawfish boil and they were the workhorses, tremendously out-performed the 5 other single jet burners. Please note: when firing these regulators up, be sure to slowly turn on the propane tank valve first, then slowly turn on the regulator. When you turn it off, you must turn off the propane tank valve first, then turn off the regulator. If you don't do it in this order, it will likely activate the safety gas flow devices in the tank and/or the regulator and you will have a small, useless flame.

EDIT 6/11/2013. I have found that if you run these regulators at the full wide open setting, the safety shut off valve will activate randomly, resulting in a puny, worthless flame. When this happens, you have to shut off the tank, then shut off the regulator, then dettach the gas line from the tank. This resets the valve and you are ready to go again. If you don't run the regulator at full wide open, this does not happen. When this first happened, I got a warranty replacement from Bayou Classic, but the replacement regulator/hose also had this issue. So now, in order to avoid the hassel of resetting the valve, I run the gas flow at about 3/4 wide open.

Getting the higher pressure 30 psi regulator and having to limit its gas flow is almost defeating the purpose of upgrading from the 20 psi regulator. If I had it to do over again, I would have probably just kept and used my 20 psi regulators which never gave me any issues.

This is a pretty well made regulator, but not nearly as good as what you might buy down at a welding shop for 3 times the price. 0n the other hand, it is far better suited for putting on a home grill than the cheap non-adjustable regulators that typically come with the grill or that you buy as replacements.

I have a 15 year old stainless grill with ceramic parts that last forever, but the the three cast iron burners keep burning/rusting out. Even with brand new burners in it, it would barely heat up the grill, and if you turned on more than one burner, the flames got even lower. Even with new burners, it was pretty much a useless device on the back porch, due to the low flame.

I did all the "reset the safety valve" procedures, but nothing helped. I determined that the regulator was not delivering enough gas, but I did not know what the proper pressure for that particular 3 burner setup was, so I decided to get an adjustable regulator with more than just 10lbs of pressure. 2 days later (yes, speedy delivery from Amazon Prime), I got the new regulator. It was exactly as described except that it requires a 3/4in wrench for the fitting.

Once hooked up, it was an amazing difference. Better than new, the regulator allows you to much greater flame adjustment than the regular valves. The regulation is very smooth and predictable; considerably better than some air pressure regulators I have purchased. If you want a really hot flame for grilling steaks fast, just dial in a bit more pressure and you have all the heat you could wish for. Tiny flame to just keep it warm? Turn it back down. The variation in the flame size is much greater now than when the grill was brand new. One or three burners makes no difference now, the regulator seems to give consistent pressure at different flow rates.

Please keep in mind that if you have no sense whatsoever, it is quite possible to turn the pressure up higher than your burners can mix with air, so the flames will go big and wild inside your grill if you adjust it too high. The flip side of that problem is that your regulator can also be turned down too low to allow it to even light. An untrained/inexperienced grill operator might have big problems if they don't know what the adjustment handle does. Sloppy handling when hooking up a new tank can easily change the pressure setting, too. A lock-down feature of some sort might be a good addition to improve safety; these are present on almost all gas regulators for welding & industrial applications.

My hope is that the regulator will allow me to dial in slightly higher pressures 10 years from now when the diaphragm & spring inside begin to weaken. Not enough gas? Turn up the pressure!

Honest reviews on Bayou Classic 0-30 PSI Adjustible Regulator/Hose Assembely

I bought this to use on my propane SMOKER for better/easier flame adjustment. Factory preset regulators are set to 20 pounds of pressure, this let's you operate from "0" to 30 lbs. My smoker valve changes the flame too much with only a slight turn. This allows me to change flame as little or greatly as needed. The trick is to have smoker control set to high, then regulate the flame by this unit.

I love that it comes with 3 actual drawers that are solid (on good slides) 2 large and one "hidden" drawer behind/inside spice rack on right side in addition to the large cabinet.

Magma Radiant Plate Assembly, A10-105 / A10-205 Marine Kettle Gas Review

Customer Ratings:

The original Magma gas grill had a metal screen and ceramic 'briquets'. These were always a problem, as the screen would rust away after a few seasons, and the briquets would move about when we went sailing and required the cook to handle a greasy grill, move the sooty briquets back in place, and so forth.

The radiant plate ends all that, and seems to have improved the overall function of the grill.
