Title: Jumbo Joe CL Score (PICS ADDED)
Post by: Vwbuggin64 on July 23, 2016, 07:22:53 PM
Scored this number for 25 on Craigslist. Had to order some new side vents and the metal handle, so $40 investment total. Nice on to add to my collection. It looks like it was barely used.

Nice one. I  love the size and shape of the old Jumbos. Like a swollen Smokey joe.

Lol yes it does. Cant wait to fire it up. It looked like the owner never even used it.

I live the style of my JJ.. but hate the way it manages fire. Many times, the vents sit ABOVE the actual source (unless piled extremely high or banked). I wish they had gone with lower side vents for fire/heat control.
