Someone gave me one as a gift.  I have a OTG kettle, a Genesis and a UDS.  I have found a way and reason to cook on all of those but have no clue what to do with that little Joe.  In the past, I have seared on my OTG and my chimney starter. 

What goodness am I missing out on?

buy the little chimney starter and go to town on a small cook. The SJ is alot of fun when you are cooking for only 1 or two.  My wife and I also make mini skewers and cook them individually on portable cookers and eat them as they come off the grill. It's alot of fun.Last but not least, you could have a picnic somewhere when your OTG would be a pain to carry.

The SJ is great for around the fire pit when you want to have a bite to eat or for making smores.  Or for the mini wsm. 

I also wonder about using one as a really big ash pan under a bigger kettle.....

They make a great spot to put your chimney when lighting up your one touch.

That and putting hot ashes in it to cool before getting rid of it.

Definitely this.


I have also put it on the charcoal grate of my One-Touch for cooking ... It's then at a nice height.

One thing I'm planning to do with 1 of my SJ's is take bolt cutters and trim a few bars off of one side of the grate to add fuel easier. Also thinking of using the tin can vent guard trick over vents as well.

OK
I have a master touch and a classic green 22 inch
And a collection of smokey joes

they are killer, a great way to do sides that need different temps than the main cook

I can be doing a 5 hour cook of ribs, and have a smokey joe going that will take care of beans and grilled vegis

let the mind get creative, those smokey joes are like the last few strokes of a artist creating his masters piece
If we were meant to grill with gas then the garden of Eden would have had a pipeline

You could use the grate up on stilts to give you additional cooking space on your 22.

You have kids? You can always let you kids play on it to get them hooked on grilling.

My son loves cooking on the smokey Joe.

Perfect for romantic cooks for two. If you have kids, send them to grandparents, baby sitter, aunts, uncles, YMCA, whomever. Grill you and your wife or girlfriend (or both :)) some filet of beef or stuffed bone in pork chop. Maybe some grilled tomatoes (an aphrodisiac). A bottle or three of wine. I'll let you fill in the sensual details.
