I'm looking for a Small charcoal grill

[nonthink]

I’m trying to decide between two small grills. The New Braunsfel Mini Boss $24.99, or The Weber Smokey Joe Gold $39.00. Any input from the brethren. (like I need to ask)

Is the ultimate goal here small and easy to transport, or inexpensive? If the former, you'd be hard-pressed to go wrong with a Weber, especially if you can find one on eBay or CL. If the latter, again, eBay or CL...

Recently posted was the sale at ACE hardware 4th of July Weber Smokey Joe Platinum I think for 30 bucks after rebate?
Might be worth a shot.

I see Smokey Joe's on Craig's List several times a week for under $20, so check out CL in your area.

I'm a fan of all things Weber.

The Smokey Joe gold has side vents above the charcoal. This design seems to starve the charcoal of air. The Smokey Joe Silver has bottom vents that seem to get more air to the coals. The silver seems to have a hotter, longer burning fire when compared to the gold.

Although, the Smokey Joe Gold with a Copper finish is available from Linens N' Things for $ 49.00

From the subject line, thought it was a jeopardy question at first:

Alex, what are things you'll never hear on a BBQ forum?

"Smokey Joe"...all the way! I've had mine 16 years and just ordered the 3rd set of grates. He goes camping with us every year and never disappoints.:biggrin:

I got my Smokey Joe on CL for $10, look liked it was used 1-2 times.
