We recently had the opportunity to test the Azuma Bandit Barrel BBQ, and it certainly impressed us with its combination of charcoal grilling and wood smoking.

Updated 12 hours agoThe Outsunny Charcoal Barbecue Grill and Offset Smoker combo is worth considering if you're in the market for an all-in-one cooking solution.
The design of this Outsunny Charcoal Barbecue Grill and Offset Smoker is both practical and versatile, allowing you to cook a variety of dishes without hassle. In our recent outdoor cooking session, we managed to fit around 9-12 chicken legs on the grill which proved to be more than enough for a small gathering. The thermometer on the lid makes it easy to keep an eye on temperatures, ensuring perfectly cooked food every time.
However, putting this barbecue together presented some challenges. The instructions could be clearer, and we encountered a few issues with fitting some of the parts. We also had to modify the chimney slightly as it wasn't cut properly. Once assembled, the grill may be a bit small and narrow for larger gatherings, so it's best suited for smaller get-togethers.
Another bonus is the side and bottom shelves for easy storage of condiments, cutlery, and charcoal, making our cooking experience more efficient. The two wheels that come with the product make it portable, allowing you to move and position it as needed. Overall, the Outsunny Charcoal Barbecue Grill with Offset Smoker offers a great cooking experience despite some assembly hiccups and is especially suitable for those with limited outdoor space.

Updated 11 hours agoWhen choosing a barbecue smoker, several factors need to be considered to ensure you make the best decision. In this buying guide, we'll discuss the main features and aspects you should look for.
There are different types of smokers to choose from, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some common types include:
Charcoal smokers
Electric smokers
Gas smokers
Pellet smokers
Offset smokers
It's essential to understand their differences, consider your needs and preferences, and choose the one that best fits your requirements.
Smokers come in various sizes, with different capacities for cooking. Think about the space you have available for the smoker in your outdoor area and how much food you'll need to prepare. Larger smokers generally need more fuel to maintain consistent temperatures, so keep this in mind as well.
If you plan to move your smoker around or transport it to different locations, consider smokers with wheels or easily detachable parts. It's also worth looking at lightweight models that are easier to manoeuvre.
Controlling and maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial when using a smoker. Look for features like adjustable vents, dual temperature zones, and built-in thermometers to give you better control over the cooking process.
A well-built smoker made from high-quality materials will provide better heat retention, last longer, and give you more consistent results. Stainless steel, powder-coated steel, and cast iron are some common materials used in sturdy and durable barbecue smokers.
Smokers span a wide range of prices, from budget-friendly options to high-end models. Determine your budget beforehand, and factor in the features that are most important to you. Remember that investing in a quality smoker can pay off through better performance and longevity.
By paying attention to these features and factors, you'll be better equipped to choose the ideal barbecue smoker for your needs and preferences. We hope this buying guide helps you make a well-informed decision.
