Every year the innovative people who love to cook invent clever new devices for us BBQ lovers from big grills to tiny thermometers. All year long our team of BBQ experts tests, rates, and reviews scores of products so you can buy the best, and so you won’t waste your money on things that look good on paper but just don’t work in practice. Our reviews are as unbiased as humanly possible. We don’t do sponsored articles, writers never know who is buying ads, and we never charge suppliers when we review their products. Rest assured, we selected our Best New BBQ & Grilling Products because we really like them, not because someone paid us to say so.
Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Keeper of the Flame, is the only person in the world whose full-time job is testing, researching, reviewing, and rating grills and smokers. Good measures temperatures, slams lids, turns dials, studies warranties, kicks casters, cooks a lot of food, and considers look, feel, functionality, durability, and price. Good maintains the world’s largest searchable database of 600 outdoor cooker ratings and reviews and we selected this year’s Best New Products from it.
Similarly, Bill McGrath, an electrical engineer, uses sophisticated lab equipment to test and rate dozens of thermometers every year. McGrath’s Best New BBQ & Grilling Products were chosen from more than 150 handheld, wired, and wireless remote thermometers that were lab tested and reviewed, and are now searchable in his database.
