Owning 2 22s, a WSM 18, and a SJ, this grill is my go to for my family meals, the char basket just fits below and allows coals to be closer to the grate for easier searing.

The only gripe is the ‘ash collector plate’ beneath, which is in quotes because any slight breeze just causes them to fly away. Offering a version with a catcher similar to the premium kettle would be a definite 5 star rating.

The portability is awesome and grate space works for all sorts of items, smoking is possible but a little tight, I stick with my 22 or WSM normally.

This is my most recent purchase and I am extremely satisfied, my Smokey joe is more of a chimney starter holder than anything else now....
