Got the grill and its together. Its bigger than I thought it would be. Seems to be made pretty well and has a tray to keep the hot coals away from the bottom. Not quite as sturdy as a weber but I think it will be just fine. The reason I wanted it is for chicken and chops and stuff that I dont want to cook real fast. Coals are alittle farther away from the rack compared to most others. Just had afew Ribeyes on the Smoken Joe Jr and man were they tasty! Peace.

Thanks for the info! Having the wife pick up another chimney because this thing is to big for one. I love how it looks so 1950s. Not fancy and not alot of people around here ever saw one.

Used the grill today and it worked real well.Had it two hot at first. Closed back on the bottom vents to about 1/4 open and adjusted with top vents after that. I fixed Chicken Quarters. Skin was alittle blackened and crispy. Inside moist and juicy. I used Frontier charcoal with about 3 chunks of Hickory. Will post some pics if someone will explain how LOL. I guess im a mental midget when it comes to posting pics. I love this grill!
