Oh boy do we have a fun video today! We are reviewing the top 2022 Charcoal barbecues!
Let’s go from worse to best, although the worst is still an amazing grill.
6. Masterbuilt Gravity Series (Honorable Mention) - amzn.to/3kdeHiE (Paid Link) (Available for local pickup)
This is a very interesting grill because of its smart features and how you store the charcoal. The smart features is probably the most important aspect of this grill. You can download the app and control your temperature with charcoal similar to how you would control the heating on a pellet grill. The charcoal tank is located on the side and uses gravity to feed the flames and heat the grill. It's so cool how they brought pellet technology to charcoal machines! This is a really amazing grill and we highly suggest for someone who smokes and not babysit their grill all day.
5. PK Original Aaron Franklin Edition- amzn.to/3k6Jq13 (Paid Link) (1 Available for local pickup)
The PK original is a real masterpiece. This grill has been around of a long time and the simple design stays true today! The oval shape allows for offset cooking and allows you to cook in a variety of different ways. What I really like about this grill is how portable it is and how you can buy an accesory to turn the lid into another grill! The Aaron Franklin edition came with a few bells and whistles like colors and shelves.
4. Goldens Cast Iron (Available for local pick up)
So this year it looks like Goldens Cast Iron is taking the place of the Big Green Egg. The Goldens Cast Iron is so cool because it's an absolute unit. It's huge and heavy and comes with a solid cart. This grill can stay in a cart or be put into an outdoor kitchen.
3. Weber Summit Kamado - blazingembers....
Weber has really stepped up to the plate wit their Summit Series. The enamel finish is scratch proof and wow the grill is huge. The cooking area is massive and really resembles the older weber kettle. In the summit series you can ge this grill with a table attached. the table comes with a gas ignitor to help you start up your charcoal! That's pretty cool and that's why Weber is taking number 3!
2. Primo- blazingembers....
Primo is an absolutely fantastic grill and has a spit in Trevors personal outdoor kitchen. This grill is so cool because of the oval shape. The oval shape really allows you to do some offset cooking and get creative with how you cook food. Another note is that its color is black. This is an important factor for many and its sleek looks helped it get to number 2!!
1. Kamado Big Joe- blazingembers....
Are you surprised Kamado took number 1? I'm not. there are so many accessories that make this grill stand apart from the others. There are replaceable ceramic parts and even a pizza accessory for this grill. this grill comes in two different sizes and can be inserted into an outdoor kitchen. Let us know if you think Kamado Joe deserves the number one spot?!
Those are our Top 5 Charcoal Grills for 2022! We hope you enjoyed the video! Make sure to like, subscribe, and comment! Thanks for watching!

The MB is priced so long because it's made so cheaply. I'm stubborn so I bought three of these in a span of four years because I like the concept so much. All three have ended up in the dump after about a year and a half. They're very cheaply made out of very thin metal which just disintegrates with the heat. If you're going to use one of these three times of summer, great. Store it inside your garage outside of the elements and maybe you'll get 3 years out of it. But if you're like me and the grill has to live outside and you grill 3 times a week, it won't last.

These are not widely distributed, but Hasty Bake in Tulsa makes a traditional, old school but extremely versatile stainless charcoal grill. The brand flies under the radar, as it has been around 60 years with little notice. I have their top-of-the line pro series, which cost me more than I paid for my Weber Summit 670.p, and is built like a tank and has a double walled firebox. I can grill, bake, sear, or smoke. Last charcoal grill I will own.

I have the Masterbuilt 1050 and it’s holding up well after about a year. The weak point of the cooker is the manifold in the cook chamber. I had to buy a modded cover for it to keep it lasting a bit longer. Price point is on par with build quality and performance. Just had my first issue with the fan not turning on. I had to go cosmonaut from the movie Armageddon on it and started beating on it. Kicked on but has me worried it might stop working in the middle of an overnight cook, so the set it and forget it feature is no longer there…

Have had BIG GREEN EGGS, and PRIMOS, and now the WEBBER SUMMIT. The Webber is simply better. Lighter, easier to move, holds temp as well as ANY kamado. And is much cheaper than the KJ or PRIMO. My PRIMO was great, and the oval shape is the way to go, frankly. But it was knocked over by my landscaper and broke like an egg. My BIG GREEN EGG met the same fate. I no longer use those landscapers.

The Goldens is really good. IT would be a unique grill to own. We've heard more feedback on the Weber so I would probably choose that one.

I had a MB 800. Worked great for two years then had to start replacing parts. Replaced control panel, fan, and switches. Finally just completely died. Ended up taking a sawzall to it and fit it in the garbage. I’ll never buy another Masterbuilt. Total garbage.

@@embersliving After complaining to you about my Masterbuilt rusting out, I ordered a Akron Auto Kamado, check it out I think you'd love it, its not a Gucci Kamado by any means like what you sell. But unlike everything else on the market it combines a double wall insulated steal constructed 20in Kamado with a temperature controlled blower fan system like on a gravity smoker, I can't wait to try it out. right now its only at Lowes, I hope they open the orders up so independent guys like yourself can sell them.

@victorbenner539 Жыл бұрын

@Embers Fireplaces & Outdoor Living awesome? I think that word gets overused. However I agree it's a nice Kamado, no ceramics to crack and weighs less. You are really pushing Kamado's though and honestly I don't recommend Kamado's for grills. They take to long to get up to temp. You showed the PK. A Damm fine grill. But at a considerable extra cost then a webber kettle. I know you're trying to help your sales but a $300 webber master touch is a better grill then a Kamado. If and when someone decides that they want a dedicated smoker then suggest a Kamado. Or a webber smoky mountain. Or a insulated vertical smoker. Or a nice offset. That's all I'm saying. Grilling? Get the kettle. Have a great day 🌞.
