I bought these for my husband who barbeque's a lot. He's always complained about getting burned and that normal oven mitts just don't do the job.

He barbequed a "Bud bird" chicken and was very happy with the heat resistance of these glove. Then he lifted the pan off the grill and carried it into the house. About three feet away from the grill, the heat from the pan started to burn through the gloves.

So for a short time span, the gloves are great at resisting the heat, but the heat resistance for a longer period of time is not so great.

We didn't expect him to be able to hold super hot things indefinitely, but we were hoping that he could at least carry a hot pan 20 feet to get into the house.

The gloves are great at keeping the heat off his hands and forearms while grilling though.

These are excellent gloves for both the grill and fireplace. They are long (18"), so they cover the entire forearm, and they are heavy duty (thick leather). Also, they are gloves, not mitts, and that makes a huge difference. Mittens give you no ability to grip or pick up items; gloves give you all the flexibility of, well, gloves!

My husband has used these everyday for both grilling duties and stocking his fireplace.

He is super picky about quality, and these meet his exacting standards.

The two 1-star reviews here are not based on this product, but rather on the manufacturer and the shipper. I hope those customers followed up, got their products, and then review the actual gloves.

My husband used it. He said they are not for direct contact to any hot iron trays from the grills. They are to protect your hands and lower arms during grilling.

Honest reviews on Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Extra Long Suede Gloves (Pair)

These are essentially fancy leather welding gloves. Welding gloves have to protect you from being burned by spatters of molten metal, that cool almost immediately upon landing on a surface at room temperature. Cooking mitts, on the other hand, need to be able to hold a 400 degree object for many seconds without transmitting the heat. They also need to insulate even if they're wet.

I found that this glove, despite being well made and attractive, is no good for holding hot items. At best, it protects hand and arm while grilling, if you're using tongs, lets say, over a very hot fire. Just don't expect to be able to hold a hot pan for more than a couple of seconds before the heat is conveyed directly to your tender skin and you have to put it down immediately or drop it.

I already owned a pair of these gloves purchased about 3 years ago. They were starting to get warn so I decided to replace them. I ordered them and was surprised when they arrived that I couldn't get my hand into them. The old pair fit fine. I measured them and they were 3/8 inch smaller. I contacted the company and they sent me a pre-paid mailer to return them. The gloves they returned to me were a tiny bit larger (maybe 1/16 inch) and I could get them on my hand with a bit of force. I will keep trying to use them and hope they will stretch a bit.

The company was great about trying to solve my problem but there was nothing they could do since the design of the glove had changed. They said they were going to pursue this further with the company that makes the glove. I hope they do because they are great gloves.

So, if your hands are on the small to normal size, these are great gloves.

DO NOT BUY THIS, or anything else from Maverick! Maverick Mesh BBQ Grill 12-Inch Fry Pan

I was reluctant to purchase this because I've seen similar Maverick products in stores, and they look cheaply made. This grill basket is no exception. I took it out of the box, and immediately washed it because I was so excited to use it. As soon as I washed it, the bottom ring that is supposed to provide the basket with a flat, stable surface fell off (!!). Upon closer inspection, all the soldering joints are sloppy and sparse--hardly one drop of molten metal will keep the product together, so I expect it's just a matter of time before the whole thing falls apart. Shame on me for not listening to my intuition, and ordering this thing anyway. I have HAD IT with products made in China, especially kitchen products!

At the risk of sounding like a protectionist, there's only one item I purchased in the last year that was made in China that I am perfectly happy with, which I will be posting a glowing review about (the Weber 3-pc stainless grill tool set--WONDERFUL!). I should start my own site called Made in the U.S.A., where all the products are made at home, using quality materials and manufacturing processes. Granted, the prices would be higher, but who cares how inexpensive it is if you barely get one or two uses out of something that's supposed to last years??

When this arrived the handle had to be put on and that was a little challenging. The clip to secure the top to the bottom would not work unless the handle was pulled out a little and then pushed back in when the clip was secured. The first time we used it my wife put too many veggies in and the handle felt like it was going to bend every time I picked it up to shake the veggies on the grill. Next time we will cook less and it should work great. The vegetables we cooked came out great so to make a long story short, I would buy this product again.

I received this yesterday and tried it out on my Weber Kettle grill today. I preheated it as directed and placed some rib eye steaks on the Tuscan grill. Giving each a quarter turn after two minutes produced a very distinctive diamond-shaped pattern that makes your food look very professionally-grilled. At 14" square, you have a fair-sized grilling surface as well. It is heavy to be sure, but cast iron is one of the best grilling surfaces imaginable and the V-shaped grates will assure you that your food will not only taste great, but look really appetizing too!

NOTE: Make sure that you season this accessory before using it or you will probably get a very unpleasant metallic taste. I coated the entire surface, including the removable legs, with a light film of melted shortening. I placed two baking pans lined with foil into a 350 degree oven and stood the grill upright on the sheets. I baked it for an hour, shut off the oven and went to bed. In the morning, it was cool and completely seasoned. After using it, I let it cool down and soaked it in hot water in the sink. Then I scraped it down with a plastic brush and repeated the seasoning process. This really isn't necessary but I do it just to add a stronger finish.

The size is perfect for camping. It's small enough to throw in the car and take with you, but big enough for grilling steaks for 4 people. The bars come to sharp peaks and make professional looking grill marks. It can also be used as a surface for cooking with pots and pans. Cast iron is the absolute best for grilling, so it's worth it to me to put in the extra effort caring for it. I suggest removing the feet for oiling so that the space between the feet and the grate stay in good shape.

About the feet: A couple of people complained that they fall off when cooking. First of all, I can almost guarantee you that they had a habit of screwing them on too tight and they stripped the threaded inserts. Just screw it on until you feel it starting to resist and then stop. That will prolong the life of the threading. What they failed to mention in their poor reviews is that the threaded inserts can be removed with a hex key and easily replaced with new threaded inserts. You can buy stainless steel threaded inserts at a good hardware store for less than $1 each. If your hardware store doesn't have them, then grainger.com has them, but you have to buy in packs of 100 for things like this for about $20 total.

For the price of this grill, it's not a bad design. I would have liked to see a more robust foot system, where you insert a rod into a slot and secure it with a pin. But, there's is nothing better than this grill available on the web (I looked a lot). Because it's cast iron and because you can replace the threaded inserts, with proper care this grill can live longer than you ever will. Everything else I've seen that is small enough to take camping is a piece of junk that won't get you the same cooking results because they are made of enameled iron or some other inferior metal that can't transfer heat properly and can't handle high heat when you want to sear meats. Plus, most other products won't last for more than 3 or 4 seasons at best.

I have a flat bottom, terra cotta clay, fire pit. This tuscan grill sits in it very nicely. With some mesquite wood burnt down town embers, it make great flavor for steaks, burgers, about anything you can think off. And since it's cast iron, it can handle the heat. And with some protection from the elements, when not in use, this grill could last for ever.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars, instead of 5 is because the legs, are slightly uneven... very slighty. With that said, the grill still works great. On a camp fire, the legs wouldn't even be an issue. And even in my fire pit it works very nice.

Just being nit-picky.

Honest reviews on Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Cast Iron Tuscan Barbecue Grill

The legs screw off for easy storage, but I leave the legs on mine all the time. Keep in mind, this is not for delicate cuts of meat and the like. However, with it's simple design, it's open to one's own creativity. Stack some cement blocks/bricks around the grill... and wind issues won't be much of a problem....... And for me this is half the fun of this gizmo... seeing what all I can get out of this thing....... I guess it's the caveman, primal, lower-life form in all of us........It's fun and simple, and only limited to ones own bravery and talents on a open flame grill...... Heck.... throw a cast iron skillet on the top, and bada-bing.... a stove!!! Genious!!!

What makes this grill so awesome is that if fits on a 32" dutch oven table with plenty of room for a dutch oven next to it.

I recently got back from a car camping trip, and it was awesome. it can be used as is, or you can place foil on top for a slower grill, or place a griddle on top for eggs and bacon and pancakes. Or you can wrap ribs in foil, place on this grill, and then wrap heavy duty foil over the entire dutch oven table to create a more oven like ambient heat environment. Great job Steve Raichlen. Awesome grill.

---

Everywhere I go when grilling, wind is a problem. So, for this unit, if you have the same issues I do, make sure you get a windscreen. The duo green 11" windscreen is good and portable, but my new favorite is the 12" wind screen on my dutch oven table.

Assuming you have that piece taken care of, the Steven Raichlen Tuscan grill rocks. Seriously rocks.

It's awesome that it's cast iron, and instead of a rounded or flat grill bar design, this uses a triangular tube design, much like a Toblerone chocolate. That makes some beautiful grill marks on pork cutlets and steaks. Wish all grills were designed this way.

The grill size at 14" x 14" is fantastic because it's just portable enough for car camping, and large enough to put a decent amount of meat to feed 4 at a time. Really a perfect size for portability and usability.

The leg height is just right too. Since you never know if you'll be on a small campfire or a dutch oven table, the short legs means that small wood fires and briquette coals both work well. That is a huge plus.

A lot of reviews mention that the screw treads get damaged really easily, and I'm really happy to have read those reviews. tight screws aren't important for this grill, so just tighten them enough to keep the legs from wobbling to make sure the treads don't get damaged and that's good enough. Hope by being gentler with the treads, I won't have the same issues others have had. But one reviewer did note that the screws were removable and replaceable, so keep that in mind.

Used this three times already after spending two days "seasoning" the grill. I know there is a right way to season it, and read about how that's done, but my lazy method worked and I can't tell the difference from my other pre-seasoned cast iron equipment, plus the food tasted fine with no metallic after-taste, so my method seems good enough. In case anyone is interested, I just sprayed pam on it all over, brushed it in as best I could, put some coals underneath, and after it dried, sprayed again, brushed it down and put it back above the coals. Repeated this twice more and it looked fine to me. every time I use it, I spray it down again, and now it looks like a well seasoned cast iron grill. Don't shoot me....I'm just too lazy to use the oven.

I'd been looking at the TexSport cast iron grill for a long tim, and what held me back was the thinner wiring of the TexSport grill surface, so finding this Tuscan grill, which seems to be everywhere, really made my day.

If you like charcoal grilling, and want something portable, but still want cast iron, this is a pretty good way to go. Add a good dutch oven table and it's grill heaven.

Hope this helps and happy grilling!

Regal 490 Pro Natural Gas Grill Review

Regal 490 Pro Natural Gas Grill
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This was a Warehouse purchase on a shipping damage return (minor), and I would probably have bought a lower BK model (like the Sovereign 90) otherwise, but the Regal 490 is a deluxe grill. Everything is stainless clad except the caster base and the side table bodies (SS-clad plastic). It is not a super thick stainless but the grill weighs 190 pounds....Assembly was 2 hours and pretty straightforward though a couple of manual "inserts" were loose that should have been bound in....and it is drawings-only no text (would have had to be tri-lingual I guess). The 3/8" flex supply tube comes with a brass quick-connect but was only about 10 ft long so I had to extend the black pipe supply line away from the house under the deck. I like evrrything about the design except maybe the grids, which are a "really tight squeeze" around sheet matal screws for which there is a notch in the grip....they include a handled "grid lifter" which is absolutely useless for heavy cast grids like these. The grids are the reversible tapered-and-grooved style, and I'll have to experiment....the tapered grids leave great grill marks

Now for the good part -these burners put out an incredible amount of heat. 4 burners on high will top 700 degrees in under 15 minutes (not a good idea....for all 4 burners keep at med-high or lower once it is fired up)! To maintain 375 takes only 2 burners at medium-high after its hot. I've never had a propane grill that even approximately approaches this. Should be possible to dial down to lower temperatures. Searing steaks will be the style of choice. We did inch-thick pork loin chops and ahi steaks seared and the cooking took about 7 minutes both sides -perfection.

The rear burner is conventional not infrared, but that will be easier to maintain. The rotisserie kit is the lighter duty of the two BK sells, lets see how that works.

Having natural gas is a treat (consistent gas pressure) plus the way this cooks, we'd be going through a lot of propane tanks. The double tube burner heats the box completely evenly . I'm really happy with the capability of this grill. MADE IN USA, or so it says...

With its cast iron grills, this unit turns out excellent steaks (with the restaurant style hatch type grill marks) and very very juicy hamburgers...probably the best I have ever cooked. One disadvantage of the grill is that it appears to be cheaply constructed. The materials are good, but the unit construction could use some tweaking. All in all, I am pleased with my purchase and expect to enjoy it excellent functionality for years to come.

It worked for about 30 days. Now when I turn it on it reads "LLLL." I am pretty sure that is not the temperature of everything. Since the Amazon Return policy doesn't allow return of defective merchandise if it works for 30 days, I am stuck with this useless LLLL device.

I have used this meat thermometer for a couple of months, and have had no trouble with an LLLL reading, like the other commenter. I would think that the battery needed to be replaced if the thermometer was frequently used or put away while still "on." I am happy with the simplicity of this thermometer, with a lit screen and large numbers I can read it clearly in the dark. I am now able to cook steaks and chicken etc. with a better idea of how well-done or rare my steaks will be. I like the small case with the clip, I leave it clipped near my grill so I always have it when I need it.

We have used these a few times and they are okay. If you spray them with Pam or any other cooking spray, the spray will pretty much bake on and be almost impossible to scrub off. The grates on our grill are starting to rust a bit and these do keep the food from coming in contact with it. One good thing about them is that you can soak them in hot soapy water in your sink to clean. They can go in the dishwasher but I haven't tried that yet because they need a fair amount of scrubbing after they are used.

We really need to break down and get a new grill, but haven't yet, and we have already replaced the grates once in ours, so the burners in ours are more the problem then the grates. Being that our burners like to flare up and burn our meat. Have been using these kind of as a shield in the meantime, to protect our food from being scorched. They are very thin, but thicker and more reuseable then say aluminum foil. I haven't tried to wash them yet, but I will say, I'm going to do it outside, they aren't exactly fitable in a two sided sink *and would probably make a mess. But they are holding up fine, and so far when we have used them, even from the beginning we haven't had any problems with food sticking to them, although we have only done hamburgers and steaks, so not sure how chicken or fish would do. Picked these up locally at Target, price was about the same. Good product, would recommend to friends who are looking into getting something similar. One side is flat with holes (probably the side you would use for fish or veggies, and the other is raised with valleys, so you wwill get some grill type marks on your stakes and burgers.

This is the newer model S670 #2780301. The previous model was 2780001 so check the number before ordering. I was planning on the smaller s470 but Northline express had a sale on the s670 for about the same price, so I jumped on it. It arrived by freight (free shipping) and the driver rolled it into my garage by himself with a special dolly. Plan on 2 or more people to help move it. My son and I moved it about 5 feet at a time working towards my backyard.

It came well packaged and completely assembled except for the 2 side wings. A few screws and you're done. They recommend a 20# propane tank but I'm looking for 30-40# because if you use all the burners the propane disappears fast, so have a spare ready. I thought the gimmicky knob and grill lights would be useless, but now I find them very helpful at dusk and night. They're useful gimmicks! The hide away rotisserie motor is another nice touch. It frees up shelf space when not in use and you don't have to attach and unattach it when needed. You just pull a tab and there it is ready to use.

I don't want to drag this out but I've used all of the grills functions and the results are excellent. It's expensive but worth it. I would assume the s470 is just as good for less. Look for overstock and other sales. I think I got a great deal. Good luck!

Oh! There's a newer cover for it also 7555 with side vents instead of the front and rear vents that leaked water into the grease tray.

So we were going to build an outdoor kitchen, in the end the 15K gave us pause. We still wanted a new great grill. This grill is it. I like everything about it. I have grilled steaks, seafood, chicken, vegetables and they all turn out outstanding. The searing station is terrific. I really like the built in smoker. I put some chips in every time I grill. For real smoking I use my weber smokey mountain smoker. However, this adds some nice flavor.

The only thing I have not tried is the rotisserie. Another great feature is all the burners giving you tons of flexibility. We grill every night I am home so this really is how we cook.

The grill comes almost entirely put together. You will be grilling in no time. Other items to get: cover, weber pizza stones (makes some awesome pizza) crisp crust with a hint of smoky flavor.

Honest reviews on Weber 2780301 Summit S-670 Propane Tuck-Away Rotisserie Grill

I bought this not-so-cheap grill over my wife's objection because I grew tired of cleaning up the charcoal and squeezing the food onto my previous charcoal kettle grill. And if I was to going to give up on charcoal, I wanted to go first class. So far, it's met all my expectations, and more. My wife even quit complaining about the cost. It's clean, cooks evenly, heats up in a flash, and is extremely versatile. We've pretty much quit using the in-house cook top. One complaint: My plan was to hook the grill up to our house propane tank, having purposely plumbed the propane line right onto our rear deck. The easy-to-follow instructions for setting up the grill, however, don't allow for this option. In fact, the gas line provided with the grill is specifically constructed to make it impossible to hook up to anything other than a portable propane canister. It took me multiple trips to the hardware store, wasted money on parts I never used, and the expensive advice of a plumber, to finally hook up to our house propane. Now that it's done, it works great. But Weber, with a little thought, could have taken a lot of the pain out of this procedure.

Love this grill. Bought it as a surprise gift for my boyfriend and so far it's perfect. I love the handle lights and I don't think they're gimmicky. It's very useful on our deck when we grill at night because we grill year round.

I don't see any openings where any rainwater could get in so I think that whatever design flaw may have caused that problem has been resolved. I also ordered a cover because why wouldn't I cover it, right? It's an investment that I expect to have for a lot of years.

We plan to put new burners and flavorizer bars into his old Weber Genesis Silver and pass it on to his daughter. That's a pretty good indication of Weber's quality.

Putting it together was very easy, it's mostly already assembled. We got the inside delivery because it was going onto an upstairs deck. Delivery was great, no problems.

My boyfriend says he feels guilty when he uses it. OK, that wasn't my intent to make him feel guilty but as long as it makes him smile it's worth it.

I just finished putting this grill together by my self. I used a small cart to set the base on while I worked. If I had a helper at the time I could have really used one. The assembly took me about 40 minutes total. This thing is HEAVY and weighs in at 190#. I use to buy Weber grills but the wheels always fell off. This is a strong unit and has beefy legs and wheels.

The cooking space is huge. I bet you can fit 30 burgers at a time. The grill has adjustable coal rack that allows for slower or faster cooking. It also has a heavy duty ash tray.

The price here seems ridiculous as I purchased mine on sale at Orchard Supply Hardware for $225. The regular price is $299.00. This is a great grill and should give you many, many years of service.

There are more expensive wagons, but I replaced a CB-940 that I had for 30 years with this one. Who gets a moderately priced grill to last 30 years? Char-Broil.

This grill was relatively quick and easy to assemble but parts of the process are definitely easier with 2 people, particularly mounting the hood to the body. Also, it is about impossible to attach the Char-Broil plastic logo to the front, so I am going to use those 2 holes in the hood for something useful instead, like hanging hooks.

There are deficiencies.

1) The cutting boards arrived with some checking (splits) and they are a single piece of soft pine, apparently. Needless to say these will warp and split further if left exposed to the elements. I have sanded them down already and applied mineral oil, and I keep them indoors.

2) There is no hook to hang the cooking grid lifter tool on. Annoying.

3) The charcoal grate suspension mechanism has 2 major annoyances. First, charcoal falls of the end, because there is a large gap on each end and the sides. Second, when raised to the highest level, the lid of the grill is difficult to put down. However, to be fair, it is probably not that likely that a user will lower the lid if they have the coals at the highest position. I am going to heat these up and bend them inwards to resolve this but it is a design flaw.

4) There is no accessories hook rack (see point (2) above). No place to hang the tools.

Do not presume that annotances 1-4 mean I do not love this grill! 4****

I went to Orchard Supply Hardware on-line and yes they are $199.99... Could not believe the price difference.. I also made sure that the model numbers matched.. Charbroil also make a cheaper model, Sante Fe which is less $$'s..

Honest reviews on Char-Broil CB940X Charcoal Grill

The CB940X ROCKS! I inherited a Char-Broil 450 that was bought in the 1960¡¦s. After 50+ years of use it finely rusted out this winter. So I ordered the CB940X. I was surprised when the delivery guy asked for help unloading the 190lbs box. WOW! This thing is made to last. I challenge anyone to find a heavier gage steel grill for this price. Even the wheels have ball berrings and a grease zerk.

My brother bought an el-cheap-o char grill 3 years ago and it¡¦s falling apart already. You¡¦ve seen them ~$180.00 and weigh only 60lbs. Don¡¦t waste your time and money on the cheap stuff. Get the original.

I'm not sure what it is about men and their grills; but this one met the standards for my lifemate. After much searching, I decided on this one for his birthday. It does take time to put together, but the end results were worth it. It has enough grilling area to handle foods for a large gathering and cooks evenly across the grill. My one disappointment....the lid is quite heavy which makes it not as easy for me to use.

This fork thermometer takes an accurate temp reading; and is a good deal for the price. It does have one quirk -it has a button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit which I keep accidentally hitting when I hold the fork. So I end up reading the temperature wrong because it has inadvertently changed to Celcius. Just be aware of this and the fork will work fine for all sorts of cooking.

I purchased and reviewed another meat thermometer and gave it one star due to how long it took to come up to temp. I got this Taylor in hopes of much quicker read time, and definitely got what I was looking for.

It comes up to temp in about 2-3 seconds (very fast in my book), and the bright blue display with big numbers is easy to read. The design feels solid and sturdy, not cheap, and I like that it's water resistant. If I were to give any criticisms, I don't really like the "Hold" feature and find it pointless. I wish the backlight stayed on all the time and you didn't have to press "hold" for the backlight. But, for the price, this doesn't ruin the 5-star value to me. I don't think you could find a better meat thermometer for this price.

This thermometer is terrific. It works quickly and the handle is long enough that you don't burn yourself on the heat from the coals. I highly recommend this product.

Ok this product started out ok the first time or two and now it does not work at all. I just gave up and threw it away after replacing the batteries several times.

This thermometer is easy to use, easy to clean, and seems to be accurate. Not sure what else you could ask for.
