The Pit Barrel Cooker grills and cooks in a flash. Sure, it looks like a regular barrel, but we’ve to say the design is pretty sound on this one. It’s fool proof to use and requires no tampering to regulate the temperatures, making this an excellent entry level cooker. Highly portable and as sturdy as a… well, barrel… this cooker gets the meal under way faster than your spouse can say “Hon, my grandmother has invited the extended family”. And it’s why you have to love this vertical wonder. $269
