MellaView says "Takes A Long Time To Smoke, But Gets The Job Done" about Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill

MellaView — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:19:23 GMT

My brother recently told me about a smoker that he had bought. He mentioned how wonderful a smoked ham tasted when it was freshly smoked.

We love BBQ'ing, so we did not waste any time, we went right out in search of a low priced smoker, and this was how we ended up with the Brinkmann Smoke 'N Grill.

The smoker was priced at close to $40.00. We were hoping to get one for less, but this was as low as they were in Walmart. Our plan was to smoke an 8 pound turkey to test it out before using it to smoke a small ham for Thanksgiving.

We figured an 8 pound turkey wouldn't be an issue. We also figured it would cook fast, besides, the Brinkmann Smoke 'N Grill is able to hold up to 50 pounds of food!

Once home, the Brinkmann Smoke 'N Grill, took my boyfriend about 45 minutes to fully set it up. Inside it had 2 racks for placing food on, a charcoal bowl, and a water bowl. There is also a small hatch door that you can open to add water, and charcoal or wood chips as you are smoking your food.

We added...

mlw21 says "The Big Green Egg is the only Grill You'll Ever Need." about Big Green Egg XL EGG

mlw21 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:42:19 GMT

The Big Green Egg is the only grill you'll ever need. We recently purchased one becasue we loved our friend's egg so much. It was easier to use than some of the larger grills and I personally loved the concept of the green "egg." The 24-inch space on the grill allows you to cook multiple things at once. It's great for football parties and social gatherings. It's heavy, but not too heavy that a few guys can't pick it up and move it if needed. One of the selling points was that it could cook two turkeys, which is great because we purchased it right before Thanksgiving. In our opinion, everything tastes better grilled. It takes no time at all to start up and cook. It's an easy cleanup, too. I've also been curious about the mini egg. It's much smaller and looks great for tailgates. Something so portable would be great for us to use. We would rather buy another version of a product that has been so beneficial for us that purchase a new brand. The Big Green Egg has proven its worth and we...

marywade123 says "The electric patio caddie grill is small but mighty." about Char-Griller patio

marywade123 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:02:40 GMT

This little patio caddie is just right for urban living. I live in a three story town house with a second floor balcony, off the kitchen. It's just big enough for the grill and so convenient for the kitchen. Even though its electric, it heats to high enough temperatures to seer a steak. The cooking surface isn't that big, but it's just right when cooking for two. I even found room to add a smoker box, which I routinely add some mesquite chips. Neighbors think I've got a smoker going on my balcony. Because its small, its much easier to clean and keep clean. I can roll it to a corner where it's not in the way, but handy enough to use whenever. Because its electric, there's no need for charcoal or lighter fluid, It heats up really fast and I believe its much safer to use in such close proximity to my dwelling versus an open fire. You do have the option of converting this grill to a propane gas grill by purchasing a conversion kit from Char-Broil.

GrandmawsOpinion says "A Great Grill for All Seasons" about Weber One-Touch Gold 22.5 Charcoal Grill

GrandmawsOpinion — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:19:22 GMT

I love to cook, I love to eat, however my grilling skills needed help. I never seem to get the charcoals the right temperature or the cooking time correct. My husband and I wanted a small grill to practice our skills and a friend recommended the Weber One-Touch Gold 22.5 Charcoal Grill. We purchased it early spring and haven't stopped using it!

It was easy for us to assemble. Once we got it together we immediately started our grilling adventure. We also bought a booklet on how to grill. We decided to start simple; a few hot dogs and hamburgers. The booklet shows you how to position your coals for maximum grilling, what meats grill slower, longer etc. Once we mastered the basics we bumped up our menu to include chicken, steaks, veggies and seafoods; add to that my signature mango chutney BBQ sauce using Jack Daniels BBQ sauce as a base we were on the Weber One-Touch Gold 22.5 Charcoal Grill road to great grilling! We continued to grill late into the...

TaraLee says "From the simple to the sophisticated this Weber does it all!" about Weber one touch silver 30791

TaraLee — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:39:11 GMT

Growing up I can remember when my father got his first Weber Grill. He finally decided that the built in gas grill had seen better days, so he got a Weber, a grill he still uses 30 plus years later.

The Weber One Touch Silver is a classic. The iconic round shape, the black enamel coated surface, the two levels of grates, one to hold the charcoal and one to cook on, the round air vent. It is as recognisable as an airstream trailer and just as stylish.

The One Touch Silver comes in a range of sizes from portable to large and keep it in place. In addition it does not rust, has all terrain wheels and is hardy enough to withstand the Michigan winters I have put my through since moving to Michigan.

This grill features a dome top that can be use to help control the air flow, thus help with cooking speed, it has a large saucer to catch the ash. The bottom dome has the same type of sliding opening as the top of the dome for letting out ashes, or letting in air to stoke the fire.

It is a design...

kat9948 says "BGE is a great investment for awesome food!" about Big Green Egg Big Green Egg

kat9948 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:04:13 GMT

My husband was bugging me to get him a Big Green Egg (BGE) for his birthday this year, so I finally caved and got it. It was more expensive than I wanted to pay, so I was leary about how good a grill it would be and was hoping it wouldn't disappoint. It definitely didn't! This grill/smoker/oven is fantastic! Everything we have cooked on it has come out great. It's good for beginners since it's nearly impossible to mess up the food. We've smoked ribs, grilled salmon, steaks, chicken, and more. We even made pretzels in it. They all came out great. My husband said it is awesome how moist everything comes out. We never got that on our old BBQ. The only drawback on the grill is you have to be careful when lifting the lid. If you do it too quickly the top vent flies off and hits the ground. It is fairly expensive (we got the medium sized one) but it truly is worth the investment.

Lan2jazz says "Looks good dangerous performance" about Char-Broil Commercial Series Model 463242304

Lan2jazz — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:25:10 GMT

I Purchased a charbroil Commercial Series Stainless Grill from reputable big box store. The grill is impressive to look at! I did enjoy using it and it cooked well. Two years after ownership I was grilling steaks and my wife noticed lots of smoke. I ran out and was able to see an out of control fire beneath the lid. I grabbed a hose and began soaking. After extinguishing and turning off the gas it became apparent that the carryover tubes were totally rotted out allowing an out of control gas fire in the grill. Further inspection revealed rotted material where the grates sit. Upon notifying Charbroil and sending pics as requested I go nowhere. This is a disreputable company who does not want to take ownership of a grill obviously made from the worst material available. THIS GRILL IS DANGEROUS!! DO NOT BUY

Ladybugbuggin says "Rival kc smoker/roaster is fabulous" about Rival K.C. Smoker Grill

Ladybugbuggin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:05:22 GMT

I've been looking for a smoker. Looking at Brinkman electric but, found this one at the Goodwill. Looked up the reviews before buying and WOW! Paid $26.00 and it is wonderful. I just smoked a pork butt. It came out juicy and extremely flavorful. Missing the instruction manual but, was able to figure out. My next project will be a chicken and some veggies. Clean up wasn't bad either. I am glad I found this smoker and at a bargain basement price. The power cord was too short. Got heavy duty extention cord at Home Depot and was all set. For a novice smoker/griller like me, this was the best deal!

ctyankee32 says "Love this grill. Heats up quickly and cooks quickly!" about Kenmore 415.16644900

ctyankee32 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:27:15 GMT

While I am not happy about the off white enamel on the grill. It heats up quickly and the price is worth it. The food is done quickly and is evenly cooked unlike some other grills. The cover for it is rather cheap in design so I would opt for a more sturdier and hardier cover for the grill. It has an under area storage that has spider protection and an area so the gas tank can not be seen. It has a side burner that also heats quickly or just to warm things and a side try to place your plates on. There is a thermostate on the cover that lets you know when the grill is hot enough to throw the meat on.

It did take several hours to put the grill together but in the end it was worth time and effort. The grill has wheels on the bottom so it is easily moved from one spot to another or in the event you want store the grill for the winter. There are ventilation holes for the gas tank area but there is also spider protection so that the critter can't get in clog the equipment.

mypointsdillard says "Wonderful grill" about George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

mypointsdillard — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:32:00 GMT

I will have to tell you, this grill has definately made my busy life a great help. This grill is eary to use, easy to clean, and simply a joy to have. When the winter has come, it is very cold outside and this has allowed my family to have "hot off of the grill" food during the winter as well.

I enjoy the fact that i can make multiple foods at the same time since i have quite a large, and demanding, family. The grill is also very quick and fast which makes cooking time a breeze after a long day at work.

I had wanted to get this grill for awhile, but was still a little leery of its merits. I finally bought it anyway, and so far, have been loving it! I anticipate that during the summer it will replace my oven.

I cook a lot of chicken, either in the skillet, or in the oven. With this grill, you don't have to worry about turning the chicken, watching it, etc. All I really do it watch the clock. The first night I had the grill, I made salmon fillets, and they turned out great.

krucker says "I am so glad my boyfriend decided to get one!" about Big Green Egg large egg

krucker — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:30:29 GMT

These are wonderful grills. They cook everything to perfection! We have not cooked anything on this grill in the past two years since we bought it that has come out bad. Everything is juicy, has a smoky flavor and is easy to cook. We have cook everything from meat to brownies on here and I have no complaints.

This is the most versatile grill that I have ever seen. You can grill, smoke, bake, etc. Anything that you can do inside on the stove or oven you can do on the Big Green Egg. Some of my favorites are Chili, pancakes, quesadillas and of course boston butt and brisket.

I would recommend this grill to anyone who loves to cook. There are also great resources for learning to cook on the Egg. The Big Green Egg forum has many recipes and Eggheads who are willing to help you make the most of this amazing product. The Big Green Egg stores are also wonderful. They are willing to help you with any questions that you have. And if you have not heard of Eggfest you should find one now close to you....

connievclevidence says "This BBQ is a little spendy, but the quality is well worth it. " about other Jamie Oliver

connievclevidence — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:48:14 GMT

We love our little Jamie Oliver BBQ. It is well worth the extra we had to pay for it. It has a double stainless steel wall, which cooks the steaks to perfection. Plus, it is very attractive sitting on our picnic table when we are camping. Lots of campers have walked over to us and commented on it, saying they've never seen one like that. It is comparable in looks to the little Weber you see so often, but with the stainless steel bowl and legs it sure outshines the Weber. What is a nice little feature also, is it has 3 attached clamps that keep the lid firmly in place when not in use. We would definitely reccommend it to anyone who loves to BBQ.

laurenmac27 says "My George Foreman Champ Grill is pefect for my tiny NYC kitchen" about George Foreman George Foreman Small Champ Grill

laurenmac27 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:34:42 GMT

My George Foreman George Foreman Small Champ Grill is my go- to grill and favorite kitchen appliance. I recently moved in to a NYC apartment and was shocked with the lack of kitchen counter space. This grill has been my SAVIOUR! It is the perfect compact size, and fits perfectly on my tiny countertop with room for my cutting board and kitchen supplies.

Aside from it being the perfect fit on my countertop it grills up all my meals extremely FAST! Coming home from work, I marinate a couple chicken breasts and throw them on the grill top and they are perfectly cooked and ready to eat in under 8 minutes. I am constantly cooking chicken, steaks, fish and veggies on this little grill and they always taste great and healthy!!

It is also really easy to clean- especially if you purchase the George Foreman grill sponges. After my meal I do a quick wipe down of the grill plates with the sponge and it's perfectly clean! They plates are also removable and you can thrown them in the dishwasher...

ellen68 says "Great tool for indoor grilling" about George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

ellen68 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:16:01 GMT

I had received the George Foreman Grilling Machine as a gift a few years ago. It has proven to be a mainstay in our kitchen as we use it often. I love the fact that the raised grill really does direct the fat and grease away from the food which makes the food itself taste better and is overall healthier with less fat. Because it has the ability to close the top onto the food, the meat cooks faster and more completely. I can not eat any meat with pink in it at all. But with the George Foreman Grill, I have no worries of that as it cooks from the top and bottom. I gave one to my son in law as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and he has raved about it ever since. They use it constantly as they are big steak and chicken eaters who live in the long winters of the North so they can not use the outdoor grill so much. They have already dropped hints for a newer model for this Christmas as they have almost worn out the first one.

minuitfleur says "George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine is alright." about George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

minuitfleur — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:33:54 GMT

The George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine was given to me as a gift a while ago. At first, I felt that this product took up too much space on my small kitchen counter, but I tried it, and it was quite worth the space.

The George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine worked very well in removing most of the fat off my meat patties. It was so gross to see how much fat rooled off my meat and it all just came dripping down the machine.

However, I did not like the fact that the oil drips from the sides sometimes and cause quite a mess everywhere. You would need a plate or container to collect hte oil dripping down.

Cleaning is also kind of hard because the cord is connected to the machine, adn obviously, you can't get that wet, so I coulnd't just stick the grill under hte water in my sink. It was a hassle keeping hte cord of the way while washiing my machine. And I hate touching oil, because my hands get gross, and it takes a lot of soap to get the greasy oil off this....

tk410158 says "The ultimate charcoal chimney" about Weber Chimney Starter for Charcoal Grill

tk410158 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:22:59 GMT

I have gone through a myriad multitude of cheap charcoal chimneys. You know, the ones from Wal-mart. The shiny, narrow-profiled tubes of directional heating. The inexpensive ones that you think are a good deal.

I was wrong!

When my last set (yes, I would use two of these slender chimneys at at time) rusted away into razor-sharp shards, I decided to try the Weber Chimney Starter. I'd looked at it before, lusted after its large charcoal capacity, its dual handle system, its conical briquet grill, its heavy-duty construction. But I'd always cheap-out and get another couple of rustbuckets.

The Weber Chimney Starter revealed to me the folly of my cheap ways. Here was a tool, not a gadget, that worked, that did exactly what it was supposed to do, and did it better than the Cheapy McGeneric charcoal chimneys. It holds more charcoal, it holds more newspaper to start the charcoal, it's tough and sturdy, and overall is a joy to use.

Fast-forward about a month after buying my Weber Chimney...

hurrytimer says "George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine AA++" about George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

hurrytimer — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:42:15 GMT

George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine is excellent for anyone wanting to trim off the fatty grease from foods they eat. I have been struggling with my weight since my last child and this is a perfect little grill for those who want something easy to use. I found that you can make so many different things. I started making gruilled ham and swiss sandwhiches and would freeze them afterward for a quick lunch or dinner later on that week. I have cooked many egg, ham, roast beef, and other meat sandwhices on this little grill. And, last week I made a small steak and it was cooked perfectly. The only thing I would say is that you need to take the time to clean it very well after use. It has the knotches in it, so things can stay stuck in it. I found using Pam spray on it works best to keep things from sticking to it. I know it will be a great tool for many like me seeking things that are simple to use and gives us a better arrange of less fatty foods to eat.

shirtsizesmall says "The Cobb grill is great if cooking for 2-4 people." about Cobb Cobb Premier Portable Stainless Steel Grill

shirtsizesmall — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:34:24 GMT

The Cobb Premier Portable Stainless Steel Grill is very convenient for apartments, camping or small patios. It is small and compact and fits well into its carrying case. We have used this grill as our primary outdoor cooker for two years and it has not failed us yet.

The grill uses about ten charcoal briquettes and also features a moat for added flavor.

It is very attractive, lightweight, and appears to have a high quality construction. However, this grill is not designed for the fast-order cook. You must take your time and not open the lid often while cooking, or you will lose all of the heat.

The Cobb is a great grill but it needs some getting used to and also some patience. It can be really hard to clean, but putting water in the moat helps (although it lowers the temperature) as does cooking spray on the surface. We always spray the insides with non-stick spray for easier clean-up.
