Thanks, I believe it became the Jumbo Joe but when I first bought it it was marketed under a different name I think it was an Outback or Outrider, can't find much other than Jumbo Joe on google.


Edit>>>> Looks like it was Outrider there's a 14" on page 55 http://books.google.com/books?id=COk...0grill&f=false

I just saw one for sale, it;s called the "smokey joe gold" now and there is one in 707 CA for sale brand new for 25.

I just picked up a 18.5" today for $5 and cleaned it out about 30 mins ago.Here it is sitting next to my brand new 22.5
Which one is this with the 3 lower vents? There is paint all over it so I may use some paint thinner and polish it out one day when not lazy



I may go buy a new top grill grate at homedepot tomorrow.

I'm just getting into true BBQ, but I'm having a blast doing it with my Webers. Here is a photo of my cookers:

1. The 18.5" WSM (DO = 2005) was picked up on CL last weekend for $75 and cleaned up very nicely. I'm looking forward to firing it up for the first time this weekend.

2. The 22.5" OTG (AA = 2011) was purchased new this Spring, and couldn't be better.

3. The Smokey Joe was purchased new sometime during my bachelorhood, probably in 2005. I don't recall the date code off hand, but it was my first Weber.

Had to take a pic of the fleet before they got disseminated to my various summer hangouts. I've got $195 into the whole lot including the Vermont Castings gasser in the back. Could not pass up the a couple of $10 kettles, thank you CL!

Nice!! just found this thread. Have been through all 41 pages. Love my weber. Use to burn through an el cheapo grill about once a year then buy a new one. 6 years ago i convinced my wife i needed a really GOOD grill, she agreed. I waited till after i bought it to tell her it was 200 dollars (weber performer, no gas ign. or charcoal bin). She wasnt happy until i started cooking on it. Never looked back. Just purchased a smokey joe for going to lake. Gonna mod smokey for smoking at lake. Vent on performer broke from lump coals getting jammed. makes smoking hard. Seen somones earlier post on how they fixed this. Great idea gonna implement that. When i get my mods and stuff done, will post pics.

I should own stock in Weber, but I don't.

22.5" One Touch, 18.5" WSM, Smokey Joe Gold, Genesis? 3 burner gasser + a Lodge Sportsman's Grill.

I have had 5 weber kettles. I sold my last 2 (they went to good homes) Then I bought this.

Where can you find Webers in colors besides black? I've seen the 22.5" OTS in copper at Target. I'd really like a green OTG like the one a few posts up.

[mbshop]

not many around. green can be had through amazon and big boxes if ordered.

[tmehlhorn]

love the towel holder on the performer. Might have to do that to mine. And the roller on the bottom leg of the one. that hillarious, love it though, whatever works.

[mbshop]

i have a similar setup on my kettles. i can put on and take off the caster in seconds. makes it easy to roll around when needed but stays put when needed also.

Do you have any pics of your wheel set up? Sounds interesting. I always hated moving the kettle and the leg would snag or scrap the ground. I like to sit in the lawn chair and Q. I could pull it over to check the meat, then push it back when I'm done. Wasn't made for turning. Onlt goes straight.

I like the paner towel rack. I plan to make one for my UDS & offset smoker.
