I had enjoyed a lot of BBQing, but it was before I discovered the joys of a smoker. The Weber SmokeFire EX6 is one of two pellet smoking devices created by the iconic outdoor grill company, and is the largest version that provides enough grill surface to feed a large family or small sports team.
The SmokeFire EX6 has had some growing pain since its introduction to the market earlier this year, but consistent and frequent firmware updates transmitted over the air to its Wi-Fi connected controller have made it a top performer. . You can use integrated cooking programs, with four wired temperature probes, to prepare everything you make to perfection. Low and slow, or high and hot, the EX6 does it all.

While a smoker offers many benefits, especially for low-temperature cooking, it’s hard to beat a charcoal grill for everyday use, especially with foods like burgers, fish and steaks, and even roasted vegetables. . The Spark One is a smart grill that takes everything that’s good from the tried and tested “egg green” style kitchen and updates it with connectivity and convenience.
Spark Grills has simplified the charcoal grill with its preformed Briqs, which are one-piece charcoal fuel blocks that fit snugly into the Spark One and quickly ignite as an electric igniter to reach temperature. Integrated fans maintain a uniform temperature for the best possible predictable temperatures of all types of food.

The Rivolta R180 High Speed Smart Toaster is true to its name, the fastest cooking toaster of most. But more than its speed, it deserves praise for its accuracy: What you see is what you get thanks to a visual doneness selector on the large touchscreen interface. It also has custom ways to make bread, bagels, waffles, English muffins and even toast pastries, as well as fresh, frozen and heated versions of each.
It’s an expensive toaster, but you probably don’t know what toast could be if you haven’t even tried a toast made from the R180.
