This is the third Weber Smokey Joe grill that I have owned. My first one was stolen (twice!), and my second one eventually succumbed to the rust caused by our harsh Chicago-are climate. I replaced that one with a similar model from Char-Broil. It wasn't a bad grill, but my wife and I really liked our former Weber Smokey Joe, better. She told me that when the time should come to replace it, we needed to get another Smokey Joe grill. Well, the Char-Broil's leg finally rusted through on one side and snapped off, so I am now the owner of a Smokey Joe once again. It's just a great little grill that is perfect for my family of five. I get the great taste of charcoal-grilled meats or veggies on a grill that has a very small footprint. I hope this one lasts a long time, and I'm certain that this is the model I will purchase, again, when the need arises.
