Kitchen & Dining

We tested tabletop gas, charcoal, and folding grills for camping, tailgating, and small patios. Here’s what to buy for your group, fuel, and space.

We compared ceramic and insulated-steel kamados for capacity, temperature control, and portability to find the right grill for your patio.

The best gas smokers hold a low, steady temperature without babysitting. We compare five propane cabinets on control, capacity, and value.

We tested lump charcoal for heat, burn time, ash, and flavor to find the best bags for kamados, kettles, and quick weeknight grilling.

We tested grill lights on gas grills, a griddle, and a smoker to find what actually lights a grate — and which mount survives your lid.

The jigger worth buying first, two kits that cover a whole bar, and the small tools that make cocktails feel easy.

We tested beginner cocktail shaker sets and picked the ones that pour cleanly, include the tools you need and don’t jam shut mid-shake.

We tested kits on Old Fashioneds and picked the ones that light reliably, fit a rocks glass, and keep the smoke in the glass.

We tested tabletop wine chillers for dinner parties: insulated sleeves that stay dry, and marble buckets that hold a chilled bottle through dessert.

We tested compact wine racks for counters, cabinets, pantries, and walls. Here are the picks that hold bottles securely without eating your space.

We hung these wall-mounted wine racks in real kitchens and picked the ones that hold their bottles, glasses and their own weight.

We tested party ice buckets with lids and picked the ones that keep cubes dry, don’t sweat on the table, and still have ice at the end of the night.
