Comparisons
Two products, the differences you will feel, and an honest split when there is no single winner.
Pellet grills and smokers
Masterbuilt Electric vs Propane Smoker
Electric if an outlet reaches the spot. Propane if it does not. The catch is that these are not the same box: 710 square inches against 960, so the fuel choice drags a size choice behind it.
Pizza ovens
Ooni Koda 12 vs Koda 16
For these first-generation ovens, the Koda 16 adds working room around the pizza. The Koda 12 is lighter, smaller to store and easier to move.
Pellet grills and smokers
Pit Boss 700FB2 vs 500FB2: 21 pounds of pellets against 5
The 700FB2 holds 21 pounds of pellets. The 500FB2 holds 5. That gap is the entire comparison, and it only starts to matter once a cook runs past bedtime.

Charcoal grills
Weber Jumbo Joe vs Smokey Joe
Choose the Jumbo Joe Premium for a full 363-square-inch grate. Choose the Smokey Joe when compact storage and easier carrying matter more than cooking area.
Charcoal grills
Weber Original Kettle vs Premium (22 inch)
Same bowl, same 363 square inches, same warranty down to the clause. The Premium adds a hinge, a covered ash bin and a dial you should ignore. Buy the standard kettle unless you cook low and slow or the grill lives in the wind.
