   If you're asking about the 18" smokey joe it goes by three names sjp, jumbo joe and outrider and also came out in three colors black, red and green.
   I've smoked on mine a few times and love it. My setup is a cajun bandit coal ring and extender. Vents wide open and using the minion method max temp on the probe was 315°. Perfect for what I needed, if I want a hotter temp to grill I'll use the modern jumbo joe.

@bbqking01

You'll figure it all out the more you read .

Snake: is a type of burn pattern with briquettes around the edge of a kettle. Sometimes called a fuse burn. Some will often refer to the stack count of briquettes (e.g., 2/2, 3/2, etc.)

Cajun Bandit: an aftermarket company that sells WSM/kettle products.

Minion method: one of the preferred ways to use a WSM charcoal ring (either in a WSM or in a kettle). Waiting for my WSM to come to temp with the minion method as I type this. Lots of YouTube videos for how this works. It's very easy and produces steady temps for a long period of time.
