Cobb Premier Grill

The Cobb Grill has repeatedly been praised as one of the most unique and versatile portable grills on the market. This unit will run on eight charcoal briquettes for up to three hours, never flare up and cook an entire chicken as easily as burgers. Lightweight, easy to light and to operate, this grill is perfect for virtually any trip. It does not even get hot on the outside, so you can take it up while cooking to move it. The only real drawback is the relatively small size. The cooking area is just under 12 inches and does not give you much space. Otherwise, this is a great little grill.

The Orion cooker

Describing what the Orion Cooker is maybe the hardest thing. Basically, this is a charcoal stove. The completely closed cooking chamber completely separates the flame from the food. This does not mean that you can not add a smoke flavor and it does not mean that this is no better than your oven when cooking ribs (8 at a time) to whole turkeys. This is a great “cooker” for big meals, tailgating and cooking food fast (a 20-pound turkey in 2 1/2 hours). Although it is not a grill or smoker, it is definitely a good cooker.
