Here the Smokey Joe gets its first use along with the Weber table for portables, including the Jumbo Joe, Smokey Joe, and the Go-Anywhere Gas or Propane grills. It was all a hit!
*Bought for my son. We have had one for years, works great. Can cook indirect and smoke meat. Done chicken, ribs, turkey, and the regular **MyBest.Kitchen** hot dogs and sausages. Excellent grill*
even when a weber gets really grungy it can still be cleaned to look brand new, the steel isn't painted it's porcelain coated so as long as you don't damage the porcelain it won't rust. once a year i take my smokey joe apart, spray it inside and out with oven cleaner and let it sit for an hour or so, then submerge it in hot soapy water in the laundry sink. all of the crud and gunk falls right off and both kettle halves look brand new. had mine for more than 15 years now and it still looks new. the wood handles look a little old but a coat of mineral oil keeps them from cracking.
Great video!!! And what a setup! Wow!!! Love it! And the foil at the bottom... so simple, yet ingenious. Awesome idea on upcycling that paint can. Thx!
This is the cleanest, most put together grill session I've ever seen lol my grill has grease caked on the bottom, there's smoke deposits everywhere....the outside is rusted.
But your food tastes better. Grill mats? Just cool inna nonstick frying pan on an electric stove top. Charcoal grilling is all about the grease and smoke
@@Tom-uw2ok +1 All this excessive effort to be as clean as possible seems like it is defeating thr purpose of cooking with charcoal in the first place.
Wow you're doing a great job on these reviews, I have a Weber Genesis 2 propane grill and small Weber go anywhere propane grill however I'm all about charcoal now so I just bought a Weber master touch charcoal grill and a go anywhere Weber charcoal grill. I love that little table but it's no longer available so enjoy it, you're one of the lucky few who owns one!
When I bought my Smokey joe I don’t think there was a a grill mat for it so I used it conventional style. The food tastes so much better when you let it just marinate from the past grilling.
All that aluminum foil is unnecessary. It's not a new car. It can get dirty. And those brats should go straight on the wire rack. That grill mat defeats what charcoal grilling is all about - grilling over charcoal. Nice 1st go, though.
Great video👍, I bought my Smoky Joe for the beach last year. But since the pandemic I haven't been to the beach. I never thought about the factory oils and coating smells initially caused during the first burn. I love the foil you placed under the fire greate and ash catcher that should extend the life of the grill. The paint can charcoal smother is a great idea, I usually save the larger size left over pieces; but your method would save more large pieces for smaller fires like chile dogs, sausage type meats that don't use much heat. Thanks for sharing. After seeing your video I plan to fire up the Smoky Joe just to break it in before the first cook. 👍👍
Doesn't the grilling mat remove the the whole purpose of BBQ grilling? You're taking away the smoke from the briquets and burning fat. Why not just put the sausages in the oven?
This is an old video, so you may be doing something very different now, but I wonder what that mat is you’re using? I am concerned you bought a silicon mat that is supposed to go under the grill to protect your ground, and you thought it was supposed to be put on the grates? I’ve never seen a silicone mat that you’d put over direct heat before, and most of the time silicone things only have a heat rating of 600° or less. Do you have a link to this mat that you used? I’ve just never seen such thing, and I’m worried you’re doing something that might taint your food. I do know of silicone mats for baking, and those go on a cookie sheet, but those mats never get direct heat.
Yes it’s portable. The legs come off and store under it. I love it and wish they would make it again. I’d like a second one. Keep your eye out on your local online marketplace. I’ve seen it a few times in my own area but didn’t snap it up in time.
man i was looking for that little portable table and its hard to find now....... amazon has it new for $250 its insane .... its a $30 item...... ebay has it used for $180 nope..... your lucky to have that table although its super flimsy still a back saver
Um you putting foil jn bottom of kettle blocks the bottom bent holes.... The premium smokey joe has side vent holes. Yours needs the vent in the bottom lol
Grilling is my favorite way to cook. I’d say just get out there and start doing it. The more you do it, the better you get. There is definitely a thrill in it I don’t get standing at the oven.
Patty M Amazon. I did learn after using it a while that I needed to cut it a few inches from one side to let in some of the Smokey flavor from below. Especially when using wood chips on the charcoal. Love the grill mat.
