Product Description
Perfect for cookouts, tailgate parties, or car camping, Weber's Smokey Joe Gold grill is the classic traveling grill. With its 14-1/2-inch-diameter grate, the Smokey Joe Gold easily cooks three steaks at a time or twice as many burgers. The porcelain-enameled bowl and lid resist rust and deliver even heat. When it's down, the lid lock doubles as a lid holder, letting you slide the lip out of the way while you cook. And, when the feast is done, simply fasten the lid lock over the top handle, pick up, and go. As an added bonus, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.

 Can't beat a Weber! December 7, 2009
Thomas Gorycki (Winston-Salem, NC USA)

Having owned several Smokey Joe Silvers (small, regular version) over the years, I knew I could trust Weber to make a good quality portable grill. At first I was a bit skeptical about the lack of holes at the bottom and a charcoal dust catcher, but the side vents (which are obscured in the pictures) provided adequate ventilation for the coals while containing the charcoal dust in the bottom of the kettle. I used to carry my old Smokey Joe in a garbage bag to keep the dust out of my car. With this version, I don't believe this will be necessary. For my "maiden cookout", I had a campsite right on the beach with some pretty strong winds. The Smokey Joe Gold performed excellent! Love the lid latch! I noticed that some of the reviews for this product were negative as they had issues with coal ventilation. I had another campsite that was virtually windless and had no problems as well. I imagine this has a lot to do with the quality of charcoal (ahem, Kingsford) and quantity of lighter fluid, plus the time allowed to soak and burn time before cooking.
Very happy! November 24, 2009

Purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend, he was thrilled. It's a fantastic little grill, perfect for a small deck or if you don't chargrill often. Would definitely recommend!
Best little grill out there! Period! August 29, 2009

I bought this grill back in 2005 and still it is with me today. I cook on it at least 3 times a month and have made bbq for 1 - 10 people. It's perfect for the beach, patio, camping, etc...
I have learned this pit well and I have no problem grilling beef ribs (2 racks), beef fajitas, sausage, 1 chicken (split halves) all on one grillin. You can make awesome steaks, fish, etc... anywhere you go without too much pit to carry or too much wood/charcoal used.
I chose this one over other similar Weber models because it has the vent on the lid AS WELL AS THE SIDES. Without these, the fire smothers too easily. You can't beat the price either.
Pay attention to buying the "Gold" and not the "Silver" as the silver doesn't have the vents on the side, but instead on the bottom.
Excellent Quality August 19, 2009

I checked all the stores - i had decided on the weber Grill - with free shipping and no sales tax it was cheaper to order on amazon for the same item i could have purchased in a store.
I like the carry handle,and the weber quality,I did research on weber all all the reviews were positive,the gril is made to last a long time
 Works well but note the vents are on the side August 19, 2009

The grill arrived and getting it put together was a snap. I've used the smokey joe in the past. My last one was, unfortunately, stolen by the ne'erdowells who hangout in a park by my apartment. I ordered this model for the metal transport handle (no more leaving the grill by the fence to cool!) In any case, i soon realized that this grill was different.
My old standard smokey had the air vents in the bottom of the grill. I very much prefer the bottom vent configuration for the ease of cleaning and the general airflow to the charcoal. This grill has side air vents. I assume this design is to prevent coals from falling out of the bottom if/when you pick the thing up by the handle.
All in all, it seems to work OK as long as you clean the the charcoal ash regularly.
