Overview
Cooking over charcoal on the go is the point of this Weber Jumbo Joe, a compact kettle with a porcelain-enameled body and a lid lock. It stands on its own legs and runs on a single grate.
Light weight and a locking lid make it easy to pack for a campsite or parking lot. The cooking area entry in the listing looks incorrect, so plan from the kettle size instead, and the warranty says only to see the description.
Who it's for
A camper, tailgater or small household that grills a few burgers or sausages at a time. A host cooking for many people will want a bigger grill.
Pros and cons
- Lid lock for carrying
- Cooking area entry looks wrong
- Warranty text missing
Performance notes
Airflow through the bowl and lid vents sets coal temperature, and the closed lid traps heat for indirect cooking. A small bowl runs through charcoal fast, so large cooks mean adding fuel mid-cook.
