I had an older version of the Jumbo Joe which I gave away to a friend years ago. Now that I am in need again of a portable charcoal grill, I looked at the new Jumbo Joe. Major improvements over my older one. Vents on the top and bottom like the bigger kettle grills instead of the sides gives great air control. I combined this grill with the ABC charcoal basket and now have a portable smoker.  Made beef short ribs in it and they turned out awesome! This one was made in the USA, which might eventually be a collectors item.  Only down side is the plated steel grates. Not a big fan of grates which will rust. I would have paid extra for stainless steel.  A cover for it would have been nice feature.
