Looking for new charcoal bbq...Oklahoma Joe Judge?
Looking for a solid charcoal grill that won't cost an arm and a leg. Getting tired of my Weber. Are any of the OJ grills any good...specifically the Judge? Seems to be built ok and heavy at 215#. How is their quality now-a-days? Thanks

What's your budget? Are you interested in doing any long, low n slow smoking? If so look up the OK Joe Bronco on brickseek. It's a fairly new smoker that can also be used as a grill. I don't have one (yet) but I've only seen great things about it, both here and on YouTube.
If you're not interested in smoking, do you have a plain Weber kettle? You could look into a Weber Performer. Or maybe a flat top griddle like a Blackstone or Camp Chef.

I have a Weber Performer...I have a RecTec 590 that I do most of my smoking on. I occasionally like to charcoal smoke on the Weber.

I see that you’re tired of your Weber. Been there and tried a good number of other charcoal grills including some pretty nice ones. Kinda funny but I went full circle and am back to a 26” Weber kettle and can honestly say that the big kettle is my all time favorite charcoal grill. It’s simple, darn near bullet proof, stable and just flat out cooks :)

What about your Yoder... where does that fall into the mix? My pellet muncher is still by far my most used cooker. But when the charcoal itch strikes, it’s all about the kettle for me :) Just curious [emoji848]

I technically got most of my money back since the guy didn't want to wait and wanted mine after he saw what it can do.
Yup! Was about to pull the trigger on the full stainless steel one but....are you ready for this????? I couldn't justify it. Considering I still have the PBJ'r. Sorry for the hijack AWilliams. Back to topic.
