I bought this grill to replace my Smoky Joe, which I gave to my nephew as his first grill!   If I did not have the 22” kettle, I would use it as my main grill!  I like the larger size and the ability to cook larger items on the grill.  It is portable to use on outings when I use charcoal!  Like my 22” Weber kettle, it will be great to use!
