Great grill, but has a learning curve.
Others have mentioned this grill not having vents on the bottom. Yes, this does make the grill a little bit harder to use, but not at all unable. The grill needs plenty of charcoal, I think people are missing that. The regular 14" smokey Joe [which I had before for years] got real hot with less charcoal, so I did struggle the first 5-10 times using this grill. But, after adding about 10-15% more charcoal, this grill gets just as hot and lasts for quite some time. I also like that I can cut the heat when fatty foods [like pork belly] starts getting ripping hot but closing the lid. But since this grill does not quite have the air flow, I tend to leave the lid cracked open on the opposite side of the top vent, and this puts my temp right where I want it. Yes, I we should be able to control the temp with just the vents - maybe Weber will do something about that later.
One last thing about the lack of bottom vent - I kinda like the bottom closed as it's real easy to clean.

Convenient Grill
Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to travel with. The grill is large enough to cook for 3-4 people.

GREAT SMALL GRILL
Bought this grill to make with use while camping in our travel trailer. It is typically just my wife and I, and every so often one or two grandkids. So this size is great. Have been experimenting with several cook outs at home before we leave on a 6 week trip. I found that indirect cooking was preferable for some foods as the coals are close to the grate. I was able to make a charcoal divider out of some scrap metal I had at my workbench. I then purchased a grate with sides that fold up so that I can easily add coals. I also purchased a 2nd bottom coal grate that I can lay opposite the original to help prevent too many coals from dropping to the bottom of the kettle. Works out well. Also bought the small Weber chimney to start coals and that works terrifically for both briquets and lump charcoal. Found the Royal Oak Tumbleweed charcoal starters work best. Don't need lots of charcoal for most cooking, and it's ready to cook in 15 minutes. The lid can conveniently rest into the built in cradle while tending food on the grill. Bought the carry case to help with traveling. I keep charcoal, the chimney, charcoal starters, and grilling tools in a medium tote to travel with. I like that this grill is easy to move so that coals can be emptied into a proper container or fire ring. Cleanup and stowing away is easy. Great small grill!

Second Smoky Joe Purchase in 52 Years!
I have had a Smoky Joe since 1972 and use it for camping with tents and then camping travel trailers all that time. It’s still in fine shape in my storage compartment in my Travel Trailer! So I decided to by another for use when I travel without the trailer. The premium model has that locking cover which is great for lack of mess creations. I did buy a grate that has hinged entrances on each side to add charcoal during extended indirect cooking such as Turkey for instance. It was from a third party. Wonder why Webber doesn’t include that with it Premium Model? Added cost to Weber I guess!

Great little option!
Amazing little thing! It has what it needs, it is quite versatile for its size and works as intended for a to-go option or for lazy sundays where you don't need to fire up the big one.

Great Little Smokey
Very nice little grill for 2 people. Lights up quick with a chimney and hardwood charcoal. When done close all the air holes and almost all the remaining charcoal is saved for the next time. A nice switch from gas. I light the chimney on the gas side burner. Ready to cook in 3 minutes!

Great smoky flavor I remember from my younger days
Works as it should. We haven't completely figured out how best to control the temperature to avoid excessive burn, and how to extinguish the coals, but that's on us, not the barbeque.

Awesome grill
I appreciate the small size and grill right on top of my glass patio table. More convenient then my pellet smoker able to quickly grill enough burgers, brats or stakes for a family of 4 + leftovers. Small size helps me not waste charcoal.

Great grill
This is great grill for one or two people. I bought it for when I grill for myself. I bought the first one in about 1985 and several since then. I have always been happy with Weber and own two larger grills, one gas, one charcoal. I do like my steaks and hamburgers cooked on charcoal when I have the time. It takes longer for charcoal but the flavor is worth it. I would highly recommend this grill for small personal meals.

Small but mighty
We use our Smokey Joe as our everyday grill of choice. It is the perfect size for a couple. Good things really do come in small packages.

I'll always own a Weber Smokey Joe!
I love my Smokey Joe, it's my 3rd one! The first one, I inherited from my dad and used it for 20 years until the support brackets underneath rusted out. My 2nd one I used for about 3 years and left it at an ex's place. Now I have found a blue Smokey Joe and am beyond thrilled!

Best ever
I love my Weber Grills. I was raised using them and I will always grill in them. There is nothing better! I currently have three of them. Two 22” and my Smoky Joe.

Amazing little grill!
I have a Mastertouch 22" and carrying it around for family trips its a bit challenging sometimes. With the Smokey Joe Premium there is no hassle and I can enjoy using a charcoal bbq during the trips. Great construction, love the paint job. All great!

A perfect first grill for apartment-dwellers.
I gave this premium Smokey Joe grill set to my son-in-law, and he was thrilled with the grill and all the accessories, including the travel carrying bag. It will be great for his apartment balcony as well as taking on hikes and cookouts. My husband and I had a Smokey Joe as our first grill 35 years ago, and we're pleased to continue that tradition.

Great little grill for hamburgers and hotdogs. You can even even do ribs on one if the racks cut into 3 pieces.
