Sometimes you just need more grills. Kinda thinking I see a 22.5" kettle in my future though.
Howdy Chris....good to see you stop in......There's a whole section for gas & electric stuff now.....nobody frowns on gassers really, just that the kettles are a main focus.....Glad you did get an 18.5" though......those things can do a lot....see~~~>http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/grilling-bbqing/previous-don't-really-need-all-those-kettles-just-one-18-12'-5/msg7900/#msg7900
By the way, am I the only one that hates the Smokey Joe Gold? Why is it even made!?It seems like the silver would be 100 times better and all it's missing is the locking handle for the lid.

So far what I've found with the smokey joe gold is you have to keep the charcoal to one side and the lid off half of the time. If you try to use it like a normal kettle and fill the bottom with charcoal to use the entire grill the fire goes out.

... I constantly get told "Don't you already have a bunch of grills?"
