Found this unused Smokey Joe on eBay with cookbooks.
I was wondering this was a good price along with the 17.28 s/h.

I vote no. For almost that same price you can get a new SJS, a superior wood handle from Zavod, and a better used cookbook from Amazon
I'd agree with the no...you can get those books on ebay or elsewhere for $5-$10 and the SJ for $30 new. Unless you are getting the books for a collection I'd probably pass and find a better deal on the grill.
