IMO Jumbo Joe had this locked up, the other two are playing for the silver medal here.  The 14" SJ just doesn't have enough space for much IMO and I own 3 of them that sit unused.

I don't own a go anywhere charcoal, but do have a smokey joe that I take camping and use for really small cooks at home. It gets super hot for searing steaks and runs efficiently, and I save charcoal using because it's so small.

I prefer the GA by far.

Agree w/ @CharliefromLI re: the Jumbo Joe/SJP.

I would also say JJ, if it were included in the original question.  Since it's not, I'll put a vote in for the CGA.  Has more grate space. Easier to cook indirect on.  More compact & stable for traveling.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

I don't have an SJ, only a CGA so I'm not qualified to answer. I do like the compactness of it. It packs well in a camper along side the JJ.

I have a JJ for camping, goes to Mexico with me. I also got a Go Any where, gas, because often, the campground has a ban on any other fires.
  But my vote would be the JJ, more cooking space.

Not a huge fan of the Smokey Joe but I Love my WGA when looking for something small and portable. Pimped it with a temp gauge and Craycorts. Very compact and works great for indirect.

Speedster had a couple of question so I'm following up.

"How does the lid hook sideways like you posted on my post! It has a bale?"

     No bale needed.  The lid has hooks already built in.

"Could u add more pics of the wga u have... like to see temp gauge also"

    Here's a pic with the lid closed.  It's a little dirty but it cleans up really nice. 



FYI, I put a couple of coats of varnish on the handles.  They were bare wood before.  Really made the color come out and they're well protected.  I don't have a picture handy but the Craycorts are a really good addition to this grill.  They come in two pieces so you can lift one side out if you need to get to the coals.

Really like that setup, @mcgolden.  Didn't know craycort made grates for that.
