Best Smoker For The Money: image
Best Overall

Vertical LP gas smokers have four porcelain coated cooking grids, or 3.5 cubes of smoking space. The burners are controlled by a single control knob and provide 100-350 degrees Celsius (200°F) temperature range. The racks can also be used as a smoke screen to prevent accidental ignition. Notably, this is the first time that a dual valve system has been installed in a vertical smoker. The system was introduced in 2015. It allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Best Value

The first time, a smoke detector has been installed in India. The system allows for direct flame cooking with temperatures up to 650 F. It also features an auto-ignition feature that allows users to turn off the heat after every cook. The device is powered by a smartphone app called Smoke Control. This will allow smokers to set their preferred smoking mode from home. Notably, this comes amid reports that the technology could be used in future.

Honorable Mention

Cooking space of a charcoal grill, which has been fitted with a thermometer, can be opened and closed using the latch locking system. The grids are made from stainless steel and have been designed to provide maximum heat resistance. The lid is also equipped with a safety lock for added security. It’s easy to clean up after use. Notably, it comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
