About Weber Jumbo Joe Charcoal Grill
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
91% found it easy to control temperature
The heat control is excellent with vents on the top and bottom.
95% were impressed with the portability
I want a bigger cooking surface but still want the grill to be portable, and the SJJ grill is perfect for that.
I bought the grill for camping and found it to be a good compromise between size and portability. It's large enough to fit 20 chicken thighs on the grill and I enjoy cooking over coals again. It's portable enough to bring to a picnic or car camping, but I'm not sure if I would carry it by hand over a long distance.
The charcoal grill is portable and its 18 inch size allows for direct and indirect cooking resulting in a good crosshatch sear and nice smoke finish.
The Jumbo Joe Weber is highly recommended for its portability. I took it on a fishing trip for six people and was able to carry it easily.
92% liked its even heat distribution
I have noticed that the grill holds heat very well and distributes it evenly.
90% appreciated its easy cleaning
The baked enamel coating makes it easy to clean the grill.
This grill is easy to clean after the coals burn out.
After 24 hours of use, I found the cleaning process to be super simple. I rinsed it with water and used a plastic putty knife and a small medium-duty sponge with warm soapy dishwashing water. The grill looked brand new after cleaning.
The charcoal grill is easy to clean and allows me to prepare plenty of food when my friends come over.
The transport handle fit is poor and not secured to the bottom bowl.
90% found assembly straightforward, although 10% struggled
I found the assembly of the charcoal grill to be one of the best things for me. The instructions were actually useful and in English. I recommend it to others who have had similar experiences or who are interested in buying it.
I found the assembly instructions fairly easy to follow despite my dislike for instructions with pictures but no verbiage.
I faced a minor assembly issue where one end of the grill was over an inch higher than the other end. I loosened the wingnuts and slightly bent one leg to make it level. It worked fine thereafter.
I suggest using the air vents to control and direct heat. More air will result in higher temperature. Closing one half of the air vents can be used to direct heat to the other half for indirect heat cooking.
The heat control of my grill works amazingly well. I made a fabulous five rib standing rib roast on it. The temperature is easily controlled by adjusting air inlets under and over the cooking surface.
