This does exactly what it's intended to do. It's very small so that it's also portable (i.e. tailgating), but it has enough space to gill around 5-6 burgers at a time. There isn't anything fancy or advanced about this, and therefore there aren't any convenient gadgets like a thermometer, either. If you want something with bells and whistles, you'll obviously have to pay more and get a different version. But for the price, this grill is of good quality, very easy to assemble, simple to use, and a breeze to clean.

This was my first time using a charcoal grill, as I no longer live near my parents - who always did the grilling! :) I am an accident-prone person, so I googled and youtube video'd many "how to" articles and videos. I'll summarize for you below. I recommend this grill to anyone who is a beginner, if you grill for yourself and a few others, and for tailgating. Basic grill for basic needs.

If you're looking for some pointers, I hope that this can help! Making sure that the damper (vent) below is open, just add around 15 briquettes in a pyramid-like structure to the lower grate. Pour some lighter fluid over it (and go light-handed... you don't need to douse them...I swirled for around 3 seconds), and light with a match on two to three sides. There are varying instructions on how long to wait after adding lighter fluid before lighting it - but many professionals have claimed to light it immediately so that the briquettes don't absorb the fluid and subsequently take longer to burn off (and can possibly affect the taste of your food). It doesn't flame up quickly or anything. It slowly catches fire. Once the flames build up a bit, it'll then begin to slowly die down. It took me around 30 minutes for the briquettes to turn gray (that's when you know it's ready to go ahead and put the top grate on and start grilling). It's essential that you wait until all briquettes are gray. Using tongs, spread the briquettes around to one layer. If you want to have two areas of heat, put more briquettes on one side and leave the other side with none or less. The area with more briquettes will have higher heat. Once you're done grilling, using tongs and heat resistant gloves, close the bottom damper. Put the lid on and close that damper as well. Mine was completely cool the next morning, and then I opened the dampers and poured the ashes and leftover charcoal to a bag to discard. A great trick I read for cleaning the grate real quick, is to ball up some aluminum foil and rub over the grate. I then washed the grate to remove the grease. Done! Next time, I'll use the chimney starter instead of the lighter fluid method - since I now know what to expect in how charcoal reacts.

Bought it for my daughter and she loved it.

We love our little grill! There’s just the two of us now and we have minimal space but who doesn’t love a good bbq! It’s easily big enough for two, it’s light so it is portable and it’s cute. Great buy

This is a grill for two. You can put two nice steaks on it but you’ll have to choose between the two baked potatoes or the two ears of corn besides the steaks - or plan ahead and cook those first and separately. It is capable of pretty high an pretty even heat. I still have some trouble maintaining a consistent lower level of heat even with the vents but that may simply be a function of all charcoal grills combining with my inexperience - I am traditionally a gas grill guy. There is no room on this small grill for a “hot side” and an “indirect heat side” as you can do with a larger grill, so plan your meal accordingly: keep it simple. I typically close the vents in the top after I’m done for the day; it smothers itself quickly and the next time I grill I reuse the remaining leftover charcoal. Emptying the ashes is easy as the grill fits inside your typical garden trash bag - just cover the cool grill and then turn it upside down and the ashes fall into the bag and you’re done.

The quality of the grill is typical Weber -it’ll last until you finally someday choose to give it away and buy a different model Weber. I’ve used Weber Customer service (for a failed fastener on my gas grill), and it’s excellent although you will never need it for this model with nothing to fail.

Now: having said all this, DON’T BUY THIS GRILL. Buy the next model up of the same grill which has a latch bar which locks the grill cover to the grill. It is much easier to transport and to store. It is the same grill with the same performance but much more convenient to move around and that is worth a couple more dollars.

I have had Webber product for years. I have the big guy, (big black cooker) but now, we are empty nesters, just two of us, so the big boy is a bit large to fire up for 2 KC Strips. I had a Little Smokey for years also, but after years it finally GAVE UP THE GHOST! I mean literal years! I I ordered a new one from Amazon. It came, easy to assemble, and it works just as well as the old one. One thing it (little smokey) does is save charcoal. Its very tight, and after doing the steaks (for the two of us) I just close it down (top and bottom) and it extinguishes the fire, leaving the vast majority of the charcoal ready to use again. Not much of saving, but very handy. Webber's always have been great, and always will be great! Its perfect for two or three steaks. Go to 4 and you may have to fit them in, but it works with 4. Its purpose is not to throw on 12 steaks...its a 2 to 4 cooker....small, efficient, and very tasty. I love it and the rest of Webber products.

Perfect size for a porch. Got this for my brother as a gift. He loves it, uses it on his tiny balcony but it cooks great just in small quantities. Perfect for 2 people.

I have two Weber 22" kettle grills and absolutely love them. The Smokey Joe is basically a smaller, portable version of the classic Weber Kettle. Personally, I use it mostly at home when I want to cook a small amount of food, like 1 or 2 steaks, a few burgers or hot dogs, etc and don't want to fire up the bigger grill. It's also great to throw in the car and take with you to the park, beach, camping, tailgating or wherever.

It's a Weber, so its built out of quality materials and made to last, unlike some of the off-brand grills. There are adjustable air vents at the bottom and top, which makes controlling temperature easy, and allows you to close them completely to extinguish the charcoal when you're done cooking.

Even though it's small, there's enough room to bank the coals to one side and create a 2-zone fire, which allows you to sear or reverse-sear a steak, burgers, or whatever you like. It has a tray underneath to collect ash, and cleanup is easy.

I love my Smokey Joe and highly recommend it for those who love cooking over charcoal and want portability or just need something to cook a small meal.

I wanted a small charcoal grill to use while living temporarily in an apartment out-of-state for the next 7 months. Since I do not plan to keep it when I have to return home I wanted something inexpensive. After considering an inexpensive Hibachi grill, none of which had very good reviews on Amazon, I came across this little Weber kettle grill. I have two full-sized Weber kettle grills at my house that I love and use all of the time, so this little Smokey Joe version seemed like a perfect and inexpensive choice for my apartment.

The grill arrives disassembled in a compact box. Assembly is quick and easy. A Phillips head screwdriver is the only tool needed for assembly. Once assembled, the grill sits quite low to the ground but works pretty much like the larger Weber charcoal kettle grills. There are vents on the top and bottom of the kettle to adjust heat, and a shallow ash catcher sits below the bottom vent. The ash catcher is not removable, though, so dumping ashes is awkward. For such a small, inexpensive grill the actual grilling surface (14 inches) is quite large and can easily grill several steaks or burgers all at once.

This Weber Smokey Joe grill is perfect for use on a small apartment balcony or deck. It is small enough that it could be easily taken camping or for use at a tailgate party. For the money it really cannot be beat.

I absolutely love this barbecue .The quality is second to none.You don't need much charcoal and it holds the heat for a very long time. It cooks perfectly .This thing is built to last.Takes 20 minutes to put togeher.This is actually the best charcoal barbecue i have ever seen.I very highly recommend this.

海外サイズなのか、このサイズを店頭で見たことはありませんでした。

大きすぎず小さ過ぎず丁度良いです。2名〜５名程度までかと思います。

焼き芋、ビア缶チキン、焼き鳥等々色んな料理に使えます。

家を建て替え中なので、出来上がったら庭でBBQしたいと思います。

Depois de quase 8 anos na área externa, a minha primeira churrasqueira igual a essa corroeu, e comprei novamente, para mais 8 anos. Possivelmente se guardada em área interna, duraria muito mais (a grelha e a tampa estão inteiras). Altamente eficiente na queima do carvão, a utilizo como churrasqueira mesmo, e não BBQ americano (defumação). Pode custar mais que outros modelos similares, mas essa é imbatível. Vale cada centavo investido.

The Weber unit is exactly as shown and described on Amazon. The build quality bis excellent. The assembly instructions accurate and actual assembly simple. The instruction manual for use oglf the unit is very detailed and familiarises the user thoroughly how to use the gtill. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Best product of category ever vame across
