Weber Smokey Joe Gold Charcoal Grill Reviews

I got a Weber Smokey Joe tailgate grill many years ago. Our household goods were in storage with a military move. I wanted to grill out, so I picked up this small grill by Weber.

The little Weber grill works just as well as the big one. It has the same kettle shape that means even cooking. The vents on top help with heat regulation. The bigger one has bottom vents. This one does not. Too messy I'd say.

Obviously the Weber Smokey Joe won't hold as much as the larger sized Weber grills, but it holds more than I would have thought. It works fine for family cook outs (and uses less charcoal), and it's...

I love the Weber Smokey Joe.  I live in a townhouse so I don't have a lot of storage room or outdoor space for grilling.  The Smokey Joe is great because it is so compact and durable.  It fits nicely in a corner of the garage and doesn't get in the way when not in use.  When it is being used, it doesn't take up the whole, tiny backyard.  Usually, it is only used for grilling for my husband and me, but when we ask it to cook for a party, it does a great job.  I would choose to cook with charcoal over gas any day and this is a great little charcoal BBQ.  I like that I only need to use a little...

If you're going camping for a week or just one day...buy this little brother to the bigger Weber Kettle.  It breathes better than cheaper knock-offs, allowing the meat to cook faster and more evenly.  It's not for super big jobs all at once.  But, even if you have a big group, hot dogs & hamburgers only take a few minutes.

I like to do chicken leg quarters on mine.  Will hold 4 of these easily.  Not too much to say on this one.  It's a "Jr." version of the Weber Kettle and will last for YEARS!

I take my Smokey Joe every with me every time I hit the outdoors because I never know when or where the urge for roasted or smoked meat and vegetables may strike.  I love to hunt many types of wild game so I'm out during different times of the year.  I fish from Spring to late fall.  I camp and I love cookouts on the fly.  My Smokey Joe has been my go to grill for as long as they have been in existance.  It is not the only portable grill I own but it is my favorite because I get that even cooking and excellent quality that Weber is famous for.  This is the only small grill that I have seen...

Had a Smokey Joe for a long time.  It was portable and easy to take along.  Put it on a picnic table and go to town.  Liked that it was easy to load and light, but it did take time to cook a large amount.  Great for 2-3 people.  Beginner grillers will like this.
