 Buy the gold or platinum March 28, 2005

I grill year round and in many weather conditions. Unlike the gold and platinum grills, the silver grill does not have a carry handle to keep it shut for transport (see the review about the burnt down car), nor does it have the ability to prop the lid as a wind/rain shield. The silver grill works fine in nice weather for fast, hot cooking, but if you want to grill in a drizzle or in a little wind, the ability to prop the lid up (available on the gold and platinum models) is essential. I lost my gold grill. Last night I tried cooking in a little rain on the silver grill, and it wasn't up to task like my gold grill was. I'm going to buy a gold or platinum grill this time.
Great portable grill with a few caveats June 26, 2007

The Weber Smokey Joe is a great portable grill as far as cooking quality is concerned but there are a few issues.
First the good. You get a decent size grill area for an ultra-portable grill. It measures at 14 1/2 inches in diameter. Sure you probably can't do much with this grill if you are cooking indirect, but that's not what this grill is meant for. The grill cooks much like it's larger cousin - the Weber One-Touch. The porcelain enamel coating helps prevent rust. There's a vent damper on the bottom of the grill (as well as the top) so it's quite easy to control your temperature, much better then any other portable grill I've owned anyways. The ash-catcher works well enough to keep hot pieces of ember from falling to the ground.
As I mentioned before, there are a few caveats. My main complaint is that this grill has no lid-lock. This makes transportation a bit cumbersome, especially for a grill that is meant to be portable. You have to buy the Gold or Platinum version to get this functionality. I believe all portable grills should be easy to transport. I use a couple bungee cords to lock my lid down during transportation. Another small issue I had with mine is that one of the legs is a bit shorter then the other two, so my grill doesn't sit as evenly as it should. This isn't a big deal because Weber has great customer service, it's not that big of a deal anyways, it's just a little off. Finally the top grate doesn't fit very tightly so it wobbles around a bit - again a small issue. One other thing I should mention is that even though it has an ash catcher, it doesn't have any sort of One-Touch type of system, so you have to dump it to clean it (the vent damper doesn't quite do it). This isn't an issue at all for me because it's very light and easy to clean anyways but I thought I would mention that for those that might be curious.
All in all this is a great portable grill. For my wife and I this is a great grill to use even when we aren't going anywhere because it needs so little charcoal. Cooking on this grill definitely feels like I'm grilling on a baby version of my One-Touch. There are a few issues that keep this grill from getting a perfect score, but don't let these small issues keep you from buying this great grill. Personally I believe it's worth the $5.00 to go ahead and upgrade to the Gold so you can have the lid-lock, but it's not essential, like I said before a couple bungee cords do the trick if you need that functionality. Happy grilling!

I love this little grill. Not only is it cute as a button but it fits nicely in the passenger seat of my car. I can cruise up and down main street eating freshly grilled burgers and sausage. A hot coal fell on the floor and my car burned up but not before I saved my grill! Now I'm shopping for a new car...maybe one made of something that doesn't burn like water. Then my grill and I will be back on the road together. Where we belong.

This is my second Smokey Joe: The first one (about 11 years old) really only needed the charcoal grate so I figured I'd get a new grate and pass that one on to one of my children and have a new one for me. Although it's relatively small in size, I've done 7 BIG burgers or 5-6 chicken breast-quarters with smoked sausage at one time. And it doesn't require a big amount of charcoal to do the job. After cleaning the cooking grate and the housing it now looks almost new. Would I recommend it - You bet!
Great grill for football tailgating November 12, 2003
kybernetes (Centreville, VA USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This grill is terrific for tailgating at football games. Its small enough to fit in any space, can be placed on the parking lot or table, and is very easy to put together.I bought this right before tailgating, showed up to the game, put it together and cooked steaks and chicken. I had no problems figuring out how to put it together - its one of those products that just makes sense when you look at it. The grillheated up quickly, and cooked thoroughly. The best part of this for tailgating is the charcoal remains are small enough that they can be dumped directly in a used paint can (which can be left outside the car during the game to cool). The grill cooled down very quickly after the coals were removed, so I could easily pack up and get to the game. This grill also appears very sturdy and is appears to me to be worth the price. I was thrilled with it.
