If you have had a Joe back in the day the vents were higher up from the bottom than what is on these newer models. Hard to get the grill got enough. Works great for low heat cooking, but if you want to cook a steak, this grill sucks.
Others have mentioned this grill not having vents on the bottom. Yes, this does make the grill a little bit harder to use, but not at all unable. The grill needs plenty of charcoal, I think people are missing that. The regular 14" smokey Joe [which I had before for years] got real hot with less charcoal, so I did struggle the first 5-10 times using this grill. But, after adding about 10-15% more charcoal, this grill gets just as hot and lasts for quite some time. I also like that I can cut the heat when fatty foods [like pork belly] starts getting ripping hot but closing the lid. But since this grill does not quite have the air flow, I tend to leave the lid cracked open on the opposite side of the top vent, and this puts my temp right where I want it. Yes, I we should be able to control the temp with just the vents - maybe Weber will do something about that later. One last thing about the lack of bottom vent - I kinda like the bottom closed as it's real easy to clean.
Best little BBQ, no competition whatsoever! Our 3rd one in over 20 years!

Thank you for your feedback. Our Smokey Joe Premium is a tailgating grill made to be transported. It is mainly for safety reasons. Our Jumbo Joe or regular Smokey Joe offer the ash catcher. Please look for an outreach from our Care team soon. Thank you!
Bottom grill could have positive retention. Shuts off air to preserve fuel
Only used this grill so far. Cooks different than my old grill. Got to learn the difference. May have to add more charcoal.
Amazing TAW BBQ! Amazing TAW BBQ! Amazing TAW BBQ!
Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to travel with. The grill is large enough to cook for 3-4 people.
I love my little Smokey Joe Premium Charcoal Grill. For years, when I was younger and had a house full of kids, I used a full sized Weber charcoal grill, and I loved it. But once I retired, I downsized, and moving from a big house with a backyard to a small condo with a tiny patio, it made sense for me to downsize my Weber too. The 14" Smokey Joe is almost perfect for me, but I have to say almost, because the side dampers just don't cut it. I understand that the reason the Premium has side dampers rather than bottom dampers is to make it totally portable, but I'd guess I'm not alone in wishing Weber offered the option of having a bottom damper on this model. So why didn't I just buy a regular Smokey Joe, which comes in the 14" size but has a bottom damper? Because the Premium model has other features that I wanted, including a handle that doubles as a lid support, plus it comes in several zappy colors - I got the gorgeous spring green. So I'm working on modifying this little beauty. I ordered a damper, and I'm in the process of attaching that, after which the Smokey Joe Premium will be perfect for me!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
