Weber 40020 Smokey Joe Gold Charcoal Grill

Weber is a name you can trust. Great little grill for feeding a handful of hungry football fans, and the handle lock makes travel ideal. No complaints.

We bought this little grill for quick grilling and were quite amazed at how long the charcoal heat lasts. The heat distributes very well and the cooking area is enough to put 5 decent size hamburger patties and few hot dogs. We grilled steaks for a party of 8 on this. I definitely recommend it.

I love Webber and I purchased this little Smokey Joe because I have been so happy. It it built very well and looks good too but this little gye has a MAJOR design flaw!! The vents on the bottom of the unit are too small! If you cook with the lid on and all vents open (max air flow possible) your charcoal will be cold and nearly out in 20 minutes and your chicken or whatever will be uncooked. Now the fun begins. Take everything out, blow compressed air on the coals to get them going or add more lighter fluid... It's a matter of air flow being adequate to keep the coals hot. I plan on drilling more holes but rust will limit it's life. Maybe I will complain to Weber?

I have owned weber bbq's in every shape and size. From the gas genesis gold to the smokey joe and have never been let down. I highly recommend their product. Bottom line is you get what you pay for.

This is a good portable grill for on the go or the single person. Perfect size, grills great and is holding up well after many months. Would buy again.
