Pros: I'm smoking! Great Weber grilling for a mom and two boys. Cons: Not a family grill. Go larger for 4+ people
I'm a die hard charcoal person. The outdoor gassers and the Foreman indoor grills are great in theory, but you do NOT get that smoked charcoal flavor. Give me the blindfold test. I can tell the difference.
Pros: Portable, efficient, cooks food well Cons: Small, won't work for large families, have to stoop or kneel to work with it
I've owned my Weber Smokey Joe Gold Grill for about three years, and I selected it for numerous reasons. Before I tell you those reasons, let tell you a little bit about the grill itself. The Weber Smokey Joe Gold Grill is a small, ...
Pros: Affordable, as well as portable. Cons: Comparable for what you pay for it!
There is nothing like smelling those charcoals turning to coals of perfection as they anxiously await those mouth watering steaks to be tossed on the grill.
No matter if it is on the lake, at the park, your backyard, or on your...
Pros: Very durable, perfect for what it was meant for. Cons: For the money and years of service I really can't complain.
It’s kind of funny because I can almost swear that I wrote a review on this product a long, long time ago and yet I can not seem to find it anywhere. So I guess it no longer exists or maybe I just though I wrote it but did not. Oh well, any ways.

Pros: Portable and convenient; grills very well and prepares tasty meals Cons: None
If my first introduction to B-B-cueing started in the back yard of my parents' home, my love for this American pastime activity grew when I was in college. When I was heading to college, my mother thought about sending me enough money to buy a Weber...
Pros: We get a Great Food Value Without Having to Leave Our Apartment. Cons: I should have bought the Jumbo Joe for the larger cooking surface.
We have had the little "Smokey Joe" Weber grill since our daughter was in 1st grade, and now she is a Sopohmore in high school. I like the grill because we eat a lot of chicken, and we cook it in advance for the week, then I store it in a large...
Pros: Cooks just like the big kettles Cons: You have to stoop over to tend this little guy
The Tuck n' Carry Smokey Joe is probably the best value mini-charcoal grill on the market. For a small family, apartment dwellers, or campers/tailgaters on a budget, it is hard to beat this performance of the Tuck n' Carry Smokey Joe. And even though...
Pros: small enough to throw it in the trunk, solid construction Cons: not big enough for a full scale BBQ
If you're looking for a gas grill, you can always trust the folks at Weber for quality. The Genesis Series is a great place to start when you're buying the outdoor BBQ grill for a family. But Weber has other models that can work for you if you either...
3 gas grills, 1 Bar-B-Q pit, and 2 large charcoal grills later the Weber Smokey Joe Grill wins! We have been using our Weber Smokey Joe for a year now. Its permanent home is on top of a patio table on our back screened-in porch.
Pros: Solid, air-tight construction. Cons: Easy to accidently choke the air altogether.
This little grill is the workhorse for our family cookouts. I have a bigger grill for shindigs, but I still prefer using this grill for my family of four when I can. The cooking area will handle four big burgers or five smaller ones. I'm actually more ...
Pros: Cheap, simple, clean design, sturdy Weber product Cons: The need for a good surface to put it on -- wooden patios may not take kindly to so much heat so close

You love your vegetarian friends. It's thirty bucks. Throw them a (proverbial) bone.
Yes, it is yet another review where the vegetarian issue is hauled out and thrown in your face, and I apologize,...
My husband and I did not even have to pay the big requisite thirty bucks for our Smokey Joe. David won his as a prize for his entry for his old company's safety slogan contest. Feel free to plagiarize his inspiring motto: "Better to lose a minute...
Pros: small, portable, convenient Cons: not suited for feeding a large number of people
To begin this review, I'll flashback to one fine summer afternoon in the not too distant past. My sister wanted to get a "barbecue occasion" together at my parents' house. But, alas, my parents had long ago dispensed with their old, rusty...
Pros: Small size, quality made Cons: Wife makes me do all the cooking outside
When ever I have a choice of which type of grill to use, there is one easy choice, the charcoal type grill is always my first choice.
Charcoal grills have much better taste than gas grills, if you taste the two types together, it is not hard to...
Pros: very portable, perfect size for two Cons: not as fast as gas, undersized for larger groups
