So we packed up the family and headed to sunny (80 deg +) Phoenix. Nice weather change from CO.
The jumbo joe is great because you can pack the small charcoal chimney inside it along with other toys: ET732, ....
Picked up some 100 % Mesquite Charcoal made in Mexico:
Fired up the old Jumbo Joe (aka Smokey Joe Platinum) for the first time. Lots of popping and crackling as it fired up.
No airflow problems for grilling. Seasoned up some burgers with Plowboys bovine bold.
Not sure you can see the smoke ?
