Best portable charcoal grill for the money?

mcoupe · Mar 11, 2011

Checked out the Hasty Bakes, 420 for their portable...they make great stuff no? Needs are mainly a charcoal grill that could fit enough for two, but up to four....hopefully :-D thanks for any advice.

Mini uds is the way to go... from what I hear

Smokey joe? $30 and the usual weber quality. If I wanted more space I'd probably be sawing off the legs of an 18" kettle

Weber's Smokey Joe Platinum - 18" is the one your looking for, $40-$50
nice size , and built to last. The carry-handle locks the lid to the base.

Arkentex..your probably a talented individual with mad welding skills. Unfortunately, i all thumbs when it comes to building things. I'm getting better tho, i modded my kegerator to a dual tap, and added support for corny kegs. Maybe someday i will get there. Just got thru browsing what brethren have built. Quite impressive. Color me jealous of all your skills.

Seems like the smokey joe is the way to go thanks everyone for your imput!

This.. I take it everywhere.. camping, the beach, tailgates.. I think they're closer to $60 though. Not as easy to find as the SJ silver though, got mine at BBQ's Galore..

I'm wondering if they're discontinuing them.. Not seeing them at Barbecues Galore or Amazon... This is the only place I was able to find one..

not sure if the BubbaKeg grill is stil being made but I am very happy with mine, and it is portable.

Keep the weber go-anywhere charcoal grill in mind. On my local craigslist the go-anywhere grills seem to be given away for nothing, whereas the smokey joes are wayyyy overpriced. Prices will depend on your area, but I just wanted to throw out another suggestion.

i'm a huge fan of the weber smokey joe. but a short legged 18" kettle as mentioned is a great option. there is also the go anywhere and also the son of hibachi.

Craigslist for Smokey Joes!

Smokey Joe, love mine!
Got it at Wallyworld.

Dave Russell · Mar 12, 2011

I've got a SJ, but it's not gonna get my vote. I'd go for an 18" OT, and saw the legs down to size if you want. Actually, next one I see on Craigslist, I'll probably try to do the same.

swamprb · Mar 12, 2011

For now my vote goes to the 14" "Smoker Joe"

I never realized how well an SJS cooked until I got the Mini Cajun Bandit.
Ideally, I'd love to have an 18" SJG, but I use mine a lot!

Weber Smokey Joe is good but Weber Go Anywhere is better.
If you want more surface I suggest a mini UDS with 2 grill grates.

Baby Back Maniac · Mar 12, 2011

Your qualifier "for the money" makes a Craigslist Smokey Joe your best choice in my opinion. If you pay more than $10, you've paid too much. Great little grill.
