Smoke a 20 lb turkey or use the 3 racks and cold smoke cheese in the analog electric smoker. The newly designed Memphis Ultimate 2.0 now allows for a faster assembly so you can get cooking sooner!

Incredibly it has 1260 square inches of room across its cooking surfaces, and its 3-burner gas grill component has 40,800 BTUs.

720 square inches of cooking space is available to you, and there’s a large grease drain implemented to help with cleanup. Like any new home appliance, consider how much real estate you can realistically dedicate to a grill. If you’re an apartment dweller, a smaller, table-top model may be the way to. If you’re a homeowner and you have a decent-sized backyard, the sky may be the limit on how big of a grill you can buy. Whether you’re a solo griller, a cooking couple, or an entire family, you need to know that your new grill offers enough cooking surface space to accommodate all that food. Easy access to coals tends to be standard in simple charcoal grills, but this isn’t always the case with combo grills.
Thanks to three horseshoe burners you get incredibly even temperatures across the entire cooktop. I’ve tested a lot of griddles and never used a griddle that didn’t have hot and cold spots. If you love the outdoors as much as we do and money Expert Grill Combo Grills is no object, this is an obvious pick for the best charcoal grill. It’s also heavy and bulky, making it a difficult sell for front-country camping. But, if you want the coolest, one-of-a-kind charcoal grill of 2023, you’ve found it.
The grill features with a heavy duty cast iron cooking grate offering enough space to grill up to 30 burgers at once, 277 square inch chrome plated warming racks. Perfect for backyard barbecues, parties, and more, the grill features a temperature gauge for added heat control. Set up two zone cooking and you can use your Expert Grill as a smoker for low-temperature cooking. If you’re reading this, you probably take grilling pretty seriously. But if you take your grilling very, very seriously, you need to be ready to invest in a model that’s up to the task.
Frustratingly, not all hybrids have dampers and will instead have a different airflow system. I have yet to find a setup for charcoal grilling that works as well as dampers, so I recommend only getting a model that has these in place. Most charcoal grill chambers have two, with one (the intake damper) located towards the bottom of the chamber, and the other (the exhaust damper) located near the top. These help maintain good airflow through the grill, feeding your coals with a good air flow and helping to maintain good temperature levels. As a rule, 400 square inches should be enough to cook about burger patties in one go.
Secondly, due to the thin construction, you would definitely want to consider adding a decent thermal blank to be able to use the grill in winter. So what are my final thoughts, do I think due to the PID control panels, everyone should be rushing out to purchase an Expert Grill? Not exactly, there are limitations to products made at such a low cost. PID stands for Proportional Integral Derivative, and if that sounds really complicated, don’t worry I explain what that means in simple terms in my article on PID control panels. Having a leaver on the outside of the grill to open/close the sear function is just obviously a lot more practical.
