Weber Jumbo Joe Charcoal Grill

Nice grill for a couple or small family. Use a chimney to light the charcoal and you'll be grilling just as quickly as with a gas grill. It is easy to control the heat of the fire with the top and bottom dampers. And the food tastes better, too. If someone as mechanically disinclined as I am can put it together, so can you.

I picked up this grill for my RV, and I am very pleased with it. It is lightweight, durable, and fun to cook on! It is nice the lid locks on, and then the lock folds down to act as a lid holder. I added a set of charcoal baskets to it, as it was a little challenging otherwise to manage direct and indirect zones due to the smaller size of the grill. Only thing I would make an improvement on is for the dampers, it would be nice if they had a rubber piece on the damper handle like on my full size kettle at home, as they get really hot and if you go to make an adjustment you can burn the heck out of your fingers.

Finally have a Weber grill just like Daddy's growing up - just smaller. This is perfect for my backyard grilling. Not too small and too big. I have had to down size as we have gotten older and entertain less, but I still love to barbeque a couple of times a week. Everything I know about the Weber grill hasn't changed over the decades - it is still dependable, easy to use and has accessories to fit the grill if I need to add something for my cooking.

Really like this top rated entry level grill, the locking handle is a plus. Still learning to find the right amount of charcoal and control of the air vents. Love the flavor that comes off the use of high grade charcoal. Learning to use the chimney also. So a wip, but overall very pleased.

The grill heats well and cooks well. Unfortunately I find you need to add quite a few modifications to make it 5 star. For example a thermometer, a grill that opens to add more coal during a cook and handles on the air dampers. Those should all be standard.

I bought this ash catcher to replace one that blew off while traveling in my truck bed. It fit perfectly. It will be nice to have our Jumbo Joe complete in next seasons RV travel.

This 18” portable Weber grill is handy for “grilling on the go” at hunt camp or fishing camp. I primarily smoke foods in a pellet smoker at home but when I want to grill steaks 🥩 and get a nice sear on the meat … this Weber grill works perfect

The Jumbo Joe is a perfect grill for the small family. With a large 18” surface area is has plenty of room to cook all kinds of food. The smaller size uses less charcoal too.

The construction looks like it's well made and assembly was easy. It's very compact and fits nicely in our RV storage bin. I really like the way that the lid lock doubles as a lid holder. It would be nice to have some sort of handle on the bottom vent, but it's not hard to move it with a turner. I've enjoyed using it and look forward to many more cooks in the future.

This grill puts out PLENTY of BTU's for cooking whatever our family is having for supper. Using the multiple vents in both the top and bottom of the grill creates an even cooking area in no time, and avoids those too hot and too cold spots that have been ruining grilled meats since cooking began!
