Previously had the Brinkmann Gourmet electric model. Element broke in several pieces after snowstorm (damn Colorado weather). Found this unit on sale @ Gander Mountain. Really didn't want a gas smoker, but the price for the smoker size was unbelieveable. Cooked a bison tenderloin & a smoked salmon earlier, both to perfection. Am trying some baby-back ribs now, but am having a little difficulty maintaining the 225-250 range for long-term smoking. I'm sure it's the devil in the details, and I'll work it out once I've perfected the heat vs. the vents. The size is extraordinary, and will work very nice as I will add a brisket, salmon and 4 more racks of ribs to the unit later...all at once. Finally, a smoker that can handle the workload that I occasionally have.

I purchased one on Amazon and had to return due to the welding on the door hinge being defective where the door had completely ripped off. The replacement piece had other parts on it that were welded with only a pin sized piece of metal and all of those had snapped. Both of these were brand new in the box on delivery. DO NOT BUY, IF IT IS NOT BROKEN ON DELIVERY THE POOR WELDING WILL BREAK DURING USE. I called Browning directly about it and they said they knew nothing about this issue and had no answer for me.

I like the looks althought the flimsy door is a pain as someone else said. My biggest problem is that I can't set the temp and go play golf or go to a movie. I want 220 (I've owned this for over a year) and get it to 242, barely touch it lower by maybe .25 degree of a turn and it drops to 180. Move it up the least amount you can even move the dial and hits 250. I have to tune it up constantly by a thousandth of a turn every ten minutes. This is a pain and makes for a tough seven hours or so. They should have put some kind of gear drive reduction on the temp dial. Too much trouble for me but a paid a lot for it and what do you do? Beef Brisket tonight was fabulous but it was work to adjust every ten minutes. I wonder if any other brands have intelligent controls? I'd surely pay for an electronic thermometer and control big time. I'll get a receipt from the Boy Scouts and donate it! Dirty Dan

Honest reviews on Browning Smoke Vaults

Have had this unit for over a year now. I have the Camp Chef unit (the Browning was build by Camp Chef) This is a great deal. I didn't use the smoke tray after the first use and purchased a little smoke box (also on Amazon) and put my wood chips in that. I can get the smoke box a little closer to the burner. I have had up to 8 Boston Butts in it at one time (over 75 lbs of pork) I'm sure some purest would have a problem with smoking with Gas, but the church, neighborhood, and Scout groups that I've fed from what we have smoked with this smoker didn't have any complaints.

I would recommend putting a disposable bank on the bottom rack (use the Jerky rack) to catch the drippings from your Butts. It will definitely make the clean up a little more bearable. Also, I would definately get the 24" unit. You will just wish you had the extra space if you go for the 18". Happy smoking.

I have owned the 24" smoker for over and year and no problems with the construction or quality. I built a base on wheels so I can move it to the garage when not in use. This is my first gas smoker and would have to say that I'm pleased with the ease of regulating the temperature. I normally like to smoke around the 225 range and this smoker maintains that range with ease. The large capacity is also a huge plus. I have had six racks of baby back ribs, laying flat in foil, on at once with room to spare. The wood chip tray works well once the chips start to smolder and the water pan keeps the meat from drying out. Overall, I love charcoal but have found this a easy unit to use with little oversight during cooking. The only down fall is that I would liked the box and door constructed out of a heaver gauge metal. BTY this unit is built by Camp Chef.

Bakers & Chefs 8 Burner Event Grill Review

Customer Ratings:

I've been eyeing something like this grill for 10+ years on and off but it was $1,200-$1,500 (10-15 yrs ago) and currently sales for around $4,000 and I couldn't justify it.

PLEASE NOTE: The model I had been looking at is a commercial version made for business where the item listed here is a home version.

This one actually has the exact same heat output (20,000 BTUs per each of the 8 burners) but instead of commercial grade aluminum or cast iron body this is enameled powder coated finish.

I just walked into Sam's Club last Friday and this model was just sitting there calling out to me.

I bought it and have been using it for 1 week I will update this review at the end of the summer.

It breaks up in two sections: the bed (8 foot long+ burners the equivalent of 16 round ones) for a total of 165,000 BTU and the legs with wheels.

To take apart (for traveling and or catering) you unlatch (flip) 4 briefcase-like latches that separates the grill itself (burners etc) and the guerny like bottom portion.

just leave it as is (2 halves) or If you need to make it more compact you can fold the legs unto themselves by further undoing 4 wing-nuts.

It "only" has room for 65 burgers or 125 hot dogs at once, or any other mix.

I can create multiple hot/cold zones, and it has 2 folding hinged metal tops turning it into a table that fold open to become two side tables.

Mine came with a waterproof cloth cover that attaches with velcro.

It uses two 20lb propane tanks (one at each end), battery operated igniters and a wind "shield" that folds flat.

As good as the price is I got it for even less.

I LOVE this thing and the food here tastes delicious. Plenty of room

I will post a pic of it in action.

Amazing.

This warming rack fits the Weber Q300 model perfectly!

I own a Weber Q300 built in 2005 and wanted a warming rack like my father has on his Weber Genesis.

I found this one and was leery of buying it for my Q300 based on some reviews on here stating that it wouldn't fit correctly, but I bought it anyway based on information I found in several places that stated that this warming rack would, in fact, fit all models of the Q300 series with no issues.

I got it in the mail and installed it in the grille immediately. It mounts just the same as it does on the Q320 pictured and without any interference from the grill's lid.

I have several pictures to prove this that I will upload sometime soon to help confirm that this is a good purchase for other Q300 owners.

I've used it extensively and must say it works quite well to toast the buns when I am making burgers or to slightly undercook vegetable skewers for when I'm feeling like some vegetables cooked on the crunchier side.

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that I wish the back bar that runs behind the bottom part of the rack was either lower in height or supplemented with another bar. With the design as it is, I have a difficult time turning buns on the rack as they wish to slide under that bar and onto the surface of the grille. This is a minor complaint, though.

Bottom line:

Fits the Q300 perfectly, don't believe other reviews.

Almost perfect for everything for which I want to use it.

Cheap Lumber Jack 5086 40-Pound BBQ Grilling Wood Pellets, Maple, Hickory

Customer Ratings:

I have a pellet grill/smoker which I cook on at least 4 to 5 nights a week. The brand of pellets marketed by the manufacturer are just as expensive as these but are not nearly as high in quality. I used to purchase in bulk 1/4 ton from a wholesaler but they've gone out of business or stopped distributing to smaller buyers. This mixture is great for my pellet grill. I'm hoping their 100% flavor wood products are as good as this mix turned out.

my new favorite pellet makes all types of food, real smoke flavor but not heavy or tannic. MHC is good for chicken, ribs and brisket.

I will buy it again. The pellets are longer so it does change the feed rate since less fit in the auger. On low the temp is cooler than traeger pellets but on high the temp is the same.

Review of Fiesta 24025 Propane Grill, 240 Square Inch

Customer Ratings:

This grill is exactly what I was looking for when our 15 year old small gas grill died. That one was a hand-me-down from the neighbors when they upgraded to a shiny new stainless grill. It was a Kenmore with aluminum housing (base and lid). It was virtually indestructible but after two burner replacements and burning through a ceramic coated grill, it was time to get a new one. The thing is I liked the small size and the fact that I could be up and grilling in minutes. For a quick lunch of burgers and hot dogs for the five of us, you can't beat this setup. We have massive big grill too, but that rarely gets used unless we have a crowd over. This grill is an almost perfect replacement of the old one.

Assembly was easy (if one follows the directions) and actually fun for the kids since they got to help put it all together. We ran into one small issue when one of the threaded studs snapped off the logo casting. This logo is cast from some kind of cheap pot metal like the old toy cars used to be (I guess it's some kind of zinc alloy) and the stud just snapped off even though I was careful not to torque the nut too much. As it turns out one screw is enough to hold it on but I wonder how long that will last. Overall not a big deal, just a small annoyance.

I put ceramic briquettes over/around the burner cover. This is another advantage of the aluminum cast base. It is made really deep so that there is room for the briquettes under the grill. Other cheap grills I've looked at do not have enough room. Plus the base and lid on those are usually made out of stamped steel and rust away in a couple of seasons. This one should be around for a long time.

The controls are simple and so far work just fine. The piezoelectric ignition also functions well. One gripe I have about the lid design is that they put some pretty big vent holes in the rear for some reason. I would prefer the grill lid without those holes. There are generous enough gaps around for venting and the idea about grilling is to keep the heat in, not let it out. I covered up those holes because I'd hate to use up my propane bottle to heat the universe at large. I just want to heat the inside of the grill.

The other minor point is that the old one had a thermometer. Even for an inexpensive unit like this it would be nice to have a built in thermometer in the lid. Not really a strike against the grill because the picture clearly shows there is no gauge on the lid and it's not listed as a feature, so I knew what I was getting, it's just a "would be nice" item. Then again, I haven't really missed the thermometer since I started using this grill. I just go by feel and experience with the control settings.

Overall I'm glad to have purchased this grill and already cooked some killer burgers on it. :-)

TLDR:

Pros: Great value for the money

Small but capable grill

Aluminum base and lid will last a long time

Has space for ceramic briquettes

Cons:

Cast logo is flimsy and may break during install

Lid has large vent holes in the back for some reason (cover them up and it's good to go)

This is my second fiesta grill and I just got rid of the one I had before, it was 17 years old. It was still working, I was just embarrased to have it on the deck as I did not cover it in winter so it looked a little ugly. I love my second fiesta even more, and i bought a cover this time. It is easy to assemble, heats up quickly and gets very hot, not like some webers I have had. It really is a steal for the price.

Honest reviews on Fiesta 24025 Propane Grill, 240 Square Inch

Shopping for a grill is a real pain. You go to the big box stores and hardware stores and there are a bazillion models from 100 1500 dollars and they have 1 burner and 8 burners and side burners and smokers and spinners and rims and umbrellas and stone and chrome and a sidecar and a giraffe and you get confused and so you write down a few models and you go home and you look them up and the reviews say that every single one of them from 100 dollars to 1,000,000 dollars all suck.

So, if you're me, you just buy the cheap one because they all apparently break and rust and sneak in your house and kill you in your sleep.

This one is fine. I can easily turn the bottle on and off. There are 8 places to hang utensils. It lights reliably. There is fire. It doesn't heat incredibly evenly. I've successfully made meats from various animals upon it. I'm satisfied. My usually very-angry-while-assembling-anything partner put it together with minimal ruckus, so assembly was reasonable. It isn't fancy, so if having some sort of palatial yuppified deck is important to you, you clicked on the wrong page. You can actually move this one without the assistance of Chip from the club.

I'm happy with it. It is a grill that grills. No rust thus far, in use since May 2013, now July 2013.

Do not ever buy this grill. It only heats on one side, and that's if you can get it started. The hose assembly that came with the grill "sometimes" carries the gas to the grill, and the ignitor usually takes 20-30 pushes to ignite the gas... Pay more money and get something good.

PayandPack 17" x 1" MBP 13001 (4-pack) Universal BBQ Barbeque Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I've had my Great Outdoors Pinnacle grill for about 5 years and some parts have held up well while others have deteriorated into a rusty mess. The burners of the grill were one of the items that rusted out. This particular grill is pretty rare and the burners that are technically for it are about 4 times more expensive then these. I decided to give these burners a chance and I'm glad I did! They were exactly the right size/specs and fit right in place of the old ones. I did have to knock the little square plate off each one, but that doesn't affect performance at all and it was quick and easy to do. Also, there is not a place to mount the igniter units, but those stopped working years ago and I just use a long lighter. After installing the burners the grill fired right up and it's as good as new. These saved me from having to spend $200+ on a new grill and were a great deal compared to what other websites or retailers are charging.

I replaced these Burners on my Vermont Castings grill. What I thought would be a 2-3 hour job turned into a 2 day job. All of the screws, nuts & bolts were burnt & rusted beyond use, so I had to use a dremel tool to cut all of them off. When I took the old burners off, I had to break off the igniters, because the screw and holders for those were also burnt and corroded so badly they could not be reused. The flame retardant material that goes on these burners to keep the heat in the Grill and out of the gas supply area we also burnt so badly they could not be reused. Begin improvisation mode: I found some high temperature gasket material as well as high temperature silicone sealant at Mills Fleet Farm in the automotive section, and I found replacement stainless nuts, bolts and screws to replace all the old ones. I used the gasket material and sealant to fabricate a new fire wall that held all of the igniters in place and did the job of keeping the heat where it belonged. The grill has been tried and tested several times since and it is performing well.

So, the burners work OK, but I would have gladly paid more for burners that include the flame retardant gasket material as well as the new hardware to hold the Igniters in place.
