This is the ultimate workhorse for backyard hosts who refuse to choose between low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. Its massive cooking surface and pressurized heat system deliver professional-grade consistency, though you’ll need significant patio real estate to accommodate its heavy-duty footprint.
