Weber Smokey Joe Premium

I went from using a cheap cast iron hibachi grill for 15 years that finally fell apart, to a Smokey Joe. I don’t use charcoal briquettes. Instead, I use natural wood charcoal, which is not uniform in size. First, I purchased a Smokey Joe Silver, with air vents located on the bottom of the grill. I f...

After using this grill for a few weeks, I have found that it does have some issues, and it does need a proper break in. My first problem is the top vent on the lid is pop riveted as opposed to fastening with a bolt and screw. No way to adjust the tension on the vent, meaning it can be too tight and ...

The media could not be loaded. I own 4 Weber charcoal grills and this is the only one I'm dissatisfied with. It seems like a great little portable grill, but it has problems. One is the cooking grate. It doesn't fit the bowl. It slips around and wont stay in place. The other is the "tuck n carry" li...

I am happy with this product and the consistent quality of Weber products throughout my 25 years as a Weber customer. This Smokey Joe Grill would be ideal if it had an add on device to extend the length of the legs. It would make it outstanding in my opinion.

the bowl and lid are made well, the legs unfortunately get blistering hot and will burn whatever they touch. I put this grill on a table to and I had to move it mid cook to prevent a disaster.

pretty good little grill, would be better if it had a little more of a ridge for the grill to sit in and be more secure.

The vents on the Smoky Joe Gold are kind of garbage. Or at least they have been in my experience. Your mileage may vary. Having the air (wind) flow over the very bottom of the grill seems to create enough air pressure to feed the coals and vent it effectively over the grill surface and out the top. ...

I've only had the chance to use this grill a couple of times, but I love it. The other reviews commenting on the heat circulation/distribution are definitely right and the tinfoil cure works perfectly. See the other comments to find the solution, it's a simple fix that takes 10 seconds prior to plac...

I've been using Smokey Joe grills for decades and love the Weber brand in general for grills. I got this one to take camping (along with the canvas bag) and it works just as expected. When I purchased this I didn't realize that the vents were on the sides, and not the bottom as I'm used to with most...

I initially just bought this to have a safe place to start additional Rapidfire chimneys for my travel Jumbo Joe, but found it was quite versatile by itself. Using one Weber 7402 Charcoal Bar, (unfortunately no longer made,) and a piece of foil to make a drip pan and direct airflow from the vents on...
