An independent guide to backyard BBQ grills, smokers, griddles and outdoor cookers — written by people who actually cook on them.
Welcome to Grillbloom — an independent guide to backyard BBQ grills, smokers, griddles and outdoor cookers. We are a small team of pitmasters and reviewers who would rather spend a Saturday testing a kamado than scrolling through manufacturer marketing copy. Grillbloom exists for one reason: to help you choose the right cooker the first time.
The market for outdoor cooking gear has exploded. There are hundreds of grills across thousands of price points, and most of them sit somewhere between “terrible” and “forgettable.” Our mission is to cut through that noise. Whether you are buying your first kettle grill or upgrading to a six-burner gas station, we want you to walk away with clarity, not a paid recommendation.
Every review on Grillbloom follows the same process. When we evaluate a cooker we look at:
We cross-reference manufacturer specifications with verified buyer experiences and our own hands-on cooks to produce recommendations you can rely on. Scores are not influenced by any commercial relationship.
Grillbloom reviews are written by a rotating team of cooks and reviewers. We do not take placement fees, sponsored reviews or pay-to-play rankings. If you would like to get in touch about a correction or general enquiry, please reach out through our contact form.
Grillbloom participates in retail affiliate programmes. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase from a participating retailer, we may earn a small commission — always at no additional cost to you. Our recommendations are independent of these commercial relationships, and we only feature cookers we genuinely believe offer value to readers. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
