Smokey Joe or Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill

[DaGoomba]

Want to get a portable charcoal grill and wondering what is the better of the two... It appears the Go-anywhere has more grilling space and the Smokey Joe is less expensive.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance...

SJ. Very versatile, you can make a smoker out of it....well, you used to any way

Ah yes, I have seen the Mini WSM made from the SJ. What did you mean by "well, you used to any way"? Did something change in the design?

Thanks

You still can, but you just need to find the right Tamale Pot to fit. Supposedly Amazon stop selling the more desirable pot, but you can find others, just make sure it fits well before you cut into it.
Is the grill going to travel or stay close to home?
The GA is easy to transport. Teh SJ Gold is also easy to transport, but its venting is deifferent and not as desirable. If you need a larger grill surface, look for an older SJ Platinum. Its 18 inches like a kettle, but the leg configuration is different. It has vents like a SJ Gold and is portable.

Dont overlook the Jumbo Joe. 

[Heyjude]

My IMUSA pot fits perfectly, never an issue. IMUSA actually sold numerous pots, so its a matter of getign the one tht fits.   The new Jumbo Joes are quite ugly. (In my opinion)
The older ones are highly desiarable. Mine works great for camping or even when I want to do a small cook out front.

Hillbillies!

Yep, gotta keep an eye on my truck.. Darn younguns like to steal that kitkat coverter thingy from right offta the lawn.. Besides, my hammock is better with a southern exposure..  Whats a hillbilly?

Maybe the new jumbo Joe its a better option....If you could find an old jumbo it would even be better.  The new one would serve you well too...it is much more practical than the Smokey Joe.  Just a better overall option....
