Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker Review

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:48:58 +0000

When Brickmann said it is offering an all-in-one cooker, it wasn’t lying. This product has packaged itself as an LP gas grill, LP gas water smoker, charcoal grill, charcoal water smoker and a gas cooker/fryer with 170,000 BTU adjustable high/low burner. Let’s see if this, indeed, is the most versatile outdoor cooking system ever offered.

Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker: Product Features

Versatile cooker can fry, grill, or smoke with gas, or grill or smoke with charcoal
Dome lid fits every configuration; heat indicator; stay-cool wooden handles
2 chrome-plated steel grills will accommodate up to 50 pounds of food
Aluminized base pan; porcelain-enamel water pan; assembly required
Measures 17 by 17 by 45 inches; 1-year limited warranty

At A Glance

The overall aesthetic of the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker shows that its welded frame provides a stability that you want to see in a product like this. When you remove or rearrange the different components of this product, you will be able to fry, grill/smoke with gas or grill/smoke with charcoal.

Put To The Test

When you look at the manual, you’ll see easy-to-understand instructions that make the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 easy to use. Starting with the assembly of the product, the instructions are straightforward. You may need to experiment and look at how each function works to see which ones are to your liking. I personally think it’s a great smoker and fryer. The grill function is just OK though. When using the product as a smoker though, there is no door or latch that gives access to the water pan. When using the product as a fryer, I found out how challenging it is to remove the propane for safety reasons. The good points outweigh the not-so-good ones though.

Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker: Verdict

I would like to think that the Brinkmann 810-5000-0 All-In-One Outdoor Cooker would be something I’d be using for a long time. If you are an avid fan of the grill and the different functions it can provide then this product is for you.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill Review

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:45:05 +0000

Packaged as the premier charcoal water smoker grill from Brinkmann, this product is perfect for large gatherings because it can hold up to 50 pounds of food. Let’s see if this claim holds true after testing this grill out.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Product Features

2 chrome-plated steel cooking grills can hold up to 50 pounds of food
Front-hinged door; porcelain-coated steel water pan; aluminized-steel charcoal pan
Stay-cool wooden handles for safe transport; vinyl cover included
Measures 17 by 17 by 35 inches; 1-year limited warranty

At A Glance

The Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill with Vinyl Cover is surprisingly similar to another product that the brand offers, the Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill. There is a difference in the packaging of the unit but the basic features are pretty much the same. I guess there is no need to change those features that work for this particular grill type.

Put To The Test

Assembling the product is an easy task. As a slow-cook product, it might take you up to six hours to cook some food type. In my case, it’s chicken that is easy and a brisket that tried my patience. When the food came off the grill though, the meat is as it should be – delicious. Its best feature indeed is the smoker as it infuses the meat with the most amazing flavor. Cleaning the product is not too bad a task either.

Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Verdict

I believe that the Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill is sturdy enough to last a long time. It promises what it delivers and the pros outweigh the cons on this thing. If you want a nice, dependable smoker/grill that will continuously give the same delicious result, this product is for you.

At A Glance

Weighing in at 24 pounds, this product looks and feels solid when handled. On the lid, you will see a heat indicator attached that is used for checking the grill temperature and the handles are made of high-grade wood that stay cool to the touch. When you take a peek inside, there are two chrome-plated steel cooking grills.

Put To The Test

When I used the product, I noticed that it takes a while before the desired cooking temperature is reached. Although this is common for charcoal grills, it takes a longer time on this product unless I put in more than the required amount of charcoal. When the grill has started, I noticed how it smokes well. This is a good thing because the food came out well cooked without getting any burn marks.

Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill: Verdict

Charcoal grills are known to be one of the least expensive grill types. Get the Brinkmann 810-5301-6 Smoke’N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill if you want to invest in a good slow-cook grill. Just make sure you prepare well in advance. Although it has been stated that up to 50 pounds of food can be accommodated, this doesn’t seem to be the case unless there is another rack put in.
