This is my second portable Smokey Joe grill and I just love them. I still use the original which is over 25 years old. I use it in my backyard most every week. And the new one I keep in my travel trailer and use it when we are camping. It is just the right size for a family of three. I also like the feature of being able to cover the grill and extinguish the coals which can be reused for the next cookout. This really saves on the charcoal cost!
