Jumbo Joe Charcoal Grill 18 Inch Black

Fantastic grill for travel or at home. I bought this specifically for camping & vacation, but now it's the most used grill in my collection. I've grilled veggies, burgers, pork chops, london broil, brats and chicken. Set up properly, it's also suitable for higher-temp smoking (mine seems to like to run about 275 with both vents about 1/4 open; any less than that puts out the fire). I've done a couple chuck roasts and ribs in this thing and all came out great. It's also wonderfully fuel-efficient. A 6 hour chuck roast cook used a total of 50 briquettes (standard Kingsford; loaded 25 into a Weber char-basket, put 5 lit on top, then add 5 more about every 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours). If you don't already have them, I strongly recommend getting a set of the Weber char-baskets (I only ever use one in this, but you can't buy them as singles). They fit perfecty under the grate and keep the coals together to get the maximum burn time out of them; it's also very easy to shake the ash off by just jiggling the basket. Also, if you'll be doing longer cooks, the Weber hinged grate could come in handy for adding coals. So far, I've gotten by with just sliding them through the handle area or lifting the grate slightly. My only complaint is the height of it. It's a little too short to leave on the patio, and placing it on most normal-height tables makes it a bit too tall. The Weber table sold specifically for this is more expensive than the grill and doesn't seem all that sturdy. For now, I went to the local W-mart and got a "camp table" (half of the top is wire mesh, meant for holding camp stoves and grills) that is height-adjustable. It works OK, but at some point I'm going to build a table/cart so I can keep it at just the right height.

This is a very spacious and nice grill. I was shocked at how large it is , expecting to have one I can only assume is the size of the smoky joe. I was able to cook an entire rack of ribs and two steaks with plenty of room. Later I put an aluminum tin filled veggies and the lid closed with absolutely no problem . The kettle style is not only useful for things like tins in the grill but It is really nice looking. This grill works well even if you don’t have a table. I cooked on the ground. I wish the arm for holding the lid had a better way to be tucked away when not in use because I’ve been scratched by it trying to move it around a few times. It is a very durable grill. It has a free warranty for 10 years. I had an issue with my lid that was very minor and noticed it the first day. Rather than return my purchase I contacted customer service and Weber has already mailed me out a new one. They are amazing and nice! If you are looking for portability, the ability to grill for a group, and a nice looking grill, this is your grill. The enamel process that they used for the finish is not like cheap paint on other grills. The finish does not peel or have any issues when heated. I just wish it had a carrying bag like the Smoky Joe. Currently there isn’t one large enough for this big boy.

I've wanted another Webber kettle for a while, but didn't need the full sized one. Thought I'd take a chance on the smallish jumbo 18 inch model. I am not disappointed. After assembling - which you really could use 3 hands for :), it was a fairly simple deal. Purchased in advance of the 4th of July holiday. Used yesterday and I'm really impressed with its performance. The amount of heat generated by this little unit is amazing. The 18 inch grill is ample enough for 2 packs of Italian sausage and 4 quarter pound hamburger patties, followed by a rack of baby back ribs. I started the quick cooking items first and left the ribs to smoke over the cooling coals. Very pleased with the results. Love the top holder feature. Thats a life saver and made opening and storing the top a breeze. Get it for that feature alone! Very sturdy construction. It's not exactly light weight, but portable when you need it. A little pricey compared to other units, but well worth the extra bucks. I highly recommend this little grill.

It was a gift. I heard great reviews. They smoked some salmon, and burgers so far. The really like. Webber is a good product for sure. Definitely recommend.

I love this grill so far but one of the pieces on the handle will NOT unscrew so I can attach it to the lid. Reached out to the Weber site and they had me chat with a bot. Since I registered my grill, I hope I can get the handle piece replaced. Will keep this updated..... Update: Registration required, but....I WAS sent a replacement piece! Got it within a week! Very good customer service! 10/10 WOULD DEF RECOMMEND. Very sturdy grill, and perfect for on the go!

Perfect for a small patio area. The grilling area is 18", so it's plenty big enough for a small area. I was able to cook 8 burgers easily at once. It's light enough to move around, and has a nice feature that locks the lid and makes it easily portable.

Love my small grill. It's portable to take everywhere. Weber builds quality products that last.

EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, LIP AROUND GRILL HELPS TO FLIP BURGERS, GOOD SIZE FOR LO AND SLO, LID HOLDER IS GREAT, GOOD TO SIT AROUND AND CHAT, AWESOME!
