I like the fact that this is a rust resistant grill. Stays warmer longer than normal metal grill.

After 19 years our 'lil Smokey Joe had seen it's better days. We purchased this grill as a last minute decision for use at a music festival. It just happened to be the one available at my local hardware store. It soon turned out to be our primary grill and went with us everywhere.
Weber makes a great grill and this is a great design. I've read the reviews about how it doesn't draft or other complaints...I don't know what they are talking about. It has three places to allow airflow through the sides and lid. Also the bar that locks the lid locks into another bar in the back so that you can set the lid at any angle, helps keep down flair-ups and controls the temperature.
Its small size is still able to accommodate enough food for up to six persons.
I give this grill two thumbs up, you just have to learn how to use it!

I bought the Gold model. When the wind is blowing, the Gold model is fine, and the signature feature (the handle that snaps over the lid) is a good safety item when grilling is over.
When the wind is not blowing, the grill does not work properly. The reason is because the vents are paradoxically situated above the coals. This problem can be alleviated by folding a medium-size piece of cardboard and standing over the grill fanning the coals for 10-15 minutes. When this is done, you will be a Smoky Joe too but at least the coals will be hot. However, do not put the grill top on when the wind is not blowing, for the coals will smoke and go out almost immediately (even with the vents open). After one use, I drilled 3 vent-holes in the bottom. It helps, but I still have to fan the coals. A common hair styling blow dryer can also be rigged to provide the necessary ventilation. I have tried this, and the low setting seems to work fine.

This is my second Smokey Joe. The first one lasted me 6+ years. I also have an 18", 22" and the Bullet Smoker. I use my Smokey Joe 90% of the time and typically a couple of times a month all year long. Was leary at first about the air vents being on the side instead of at the bottom, but I needed to replace my trusty Smokey Joe because it was rusting out after being outside for 6+ years. First off, the adjustable vents on the side promote very even heating across the grill surface. On the old Joe, I put fewer coals in the middle of the grill because it'd get too hot in the center as the air flow came directly from the bottom and the center coals would get the most heating. Conversely, there's no issue with ash and hardwood charcoal clogging the vents either. Found that ash doesn't blow up through the cooking grate in windy conditions either. Also, without the vent on the bottom, there's no need for an ash tray at the bottom so no getting ashes all over the back of the car when transporting.
The lid holder is a simple and great design. You just fold back and snap it into a bracket and the lid just kinda slides into it. When done cooking just close the lid, unsnap the holder and it pops into grooves built into the top of the handle. It's truly a great product.

The Smokey Joe was redesigned a number of years ago, and all the improvements to the base design and gold model specifically, make it a great portable grill. I would still recommend using a chimney starter if you can (no more lighter fluid to spill in your vehicle, and eliminates the flavor of lighter fluid from food that novice grillers can't seem to avoid). If you don't have a chimney starter, pick one up. Perfect coals everytime. This grill or the Weber Q are perfect tailgating grills. Now if only I could get mine in blue with the retro Brewers logo...
