I wanted a small charcoal grill to use while living temporarily in an apartment out-of-state for the next 7 months.  Since I do not plan to keep it when I have to return home I wanted something inexpensive.  After considering an inexpensive Hibachi grill, none of which had very good reviews on Amazon, I came across this little Weber kettle grill.  I have two full-sized Weber kettle grills at my house that I love and use all of the time, so this little Smokey Joe version seemed like a perfect and inexpensive choice for my apartment.
