Manuals and schematics are available on the site, and you can order lost or broken parts. Maybe it varies, but I got Smoking Basics, Can I connect my grill to a bulk LP tank, and What disposable cylinders can I use on my Q?įar more useful might be the “Leave us a message” button that also pops up.

5 years on all plastic parts doesn’t cover discoloration or feedingĬlicking the “Support” button on the Weber site brings up a search bar and three entirely useless suggestions for help articles.5 years, no rust through or burn through for the ash cleanout system.10 years, no rust through or burn through for the bowl and lid.The warranty breaks down by component like this: (Now, how do I go back years and tell myself this?)Īnyway, enough about my mistakes, let’s get back on track… So take my advice, only buy the model with the lower vent.

My friend has the model with the lower vent, I’ve used it many times, and it is soooo much better! You can hit higher temps and have better temperature control during any lower temp cooks. It’s OK, I still use it on occasion, but it does struggle to hit high temps sometimes. If you do shop for a Weber Smokey Joe, DO NOT buy the one with the lower vents in the side as I did. This results in the normal operation you would expect from a Weber kettle, a sort of ‘chimney effect’ of air sucked in the bottom, rising out the top, and providing excellent control of the temperature, and the ability to provide maximum oxygen, and maximum heat when you want it for searing.īoth models are the same in other respects, regarding handle, heat deflector on the handle, top vent, size, grate materials, and build quality.īut go on, guess which model I have? That’s right, the one with the vents in the side 🙁 This means the airflow comes in from the sides, and not below the burning coals, which can sometimes lead to reduced airflow, lower combustion and a struggle to hit the highest of temps when searing.Īnother model - and the one I link to throughout this guide - has the lower vents right in the middle of the base under the charcoal grate, as you would find in all other Weber kettle models.
WEBBER BAR BQ PORTABLE
Today, I’m going to tell you about a traveling legend of the genre: The Weber Smokey Joe 14” portable charcoal grill. From 2 full-sized Weber kettles to 2 Kamado Joes. I’ve owned (and still own) many different styles and brands of portable charcoal grills. Personally, though I’m very far from an elitist, I like my grills with a bit more refinement than either of those styles. So appealing is this kind of grilling that people have made impromptu barbecues out of everything from shopping carts to wheel rims. Something about the simplicity just fits with the away-from-the-backyard vibe. It’s especially enjoyable when you’re camping or enjoying a beach day.

It’s hands-on cooking that connects you with your food and your grill. Let’s get back to nature with charcoal and my Weber Smokey Joe review.įew things in life are as satisfying as cooking good food over a simple charcoal grill.
