Weber 40020 Smokey Joe Premium 14-Inch Portable Grill
Not only do these grills live up to their name, they live up to the Weber tradition of quality, performance and long life. The premium version of the classic Smokey Joe Grill, the Tuck-N-Carry features a lid lock that secures the top in place for carrying. The lid lock lowers to serve as a convenient lid holder and wind shield, a must for grilling in unpredictable weather. Dampers are located on top of the bowl for quick, safe pack-ups.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.

Design flaw Side vents are too high as many have mentioned. They are above the coals so you can barely keep them lit with the lid on even with the vents wide open on the sides and top. This is a design flaw that can be overcome with a mod (like adding a bottom vent which there are youtube videos out there), however keep that in mind if you want a product that works right out of the package. Quality of material is outstanding as with all Weber products. The design flaw makes this unusable with the lid…
Great portable grill I’ve only had the chance to use this grill a couple of times, but I love it. The other reviews commenting on the heat circulation/distribution are definitely right and the tinfoil cure works perfectly. See the other comments to find the solution, it’s a simple fix that takes 10 seconds prior to placing coals.
