We have the original Kettle Weber 18 in. and the Smokey Joe 14 in. Both have been excellent . The Smokey Joe has been to many places with us on camping trips to Michigan's Upper Peninsula . Over the last 16 years the Smokey Joe is starting to shoe it's age ! I have been looking at the Jumbo Joe 18 in. Not to say the little Joe will be discarded the Jumbo Joe will be the new member of the Weber family .Weber charcoal grills and Kingsford  charcoal briquets were made for each other .
