I think it has a few advantages over an SJ.
1. Surface are of the grate on the GA is larger. 160v147 sq in. Doesn’t seem like much? But it’s almost 10%.
2. Offset cooking.
3. Portability, I think the rectangular shape with folding legs travels better then an SJ.
4. Packable, you can load it up with a small chimney filled with coals, lighter cube, lighter, and a spatula and have a nice compact ready to go setup.
