I absolutely love my Jumbo Joe. Even though I have the larger 26" Weber kettle and a large pellet grill, I find myself using my Jumbo Joe more often than the other larger grills. I've made everything from burgers, wings, whole chickens, ribeye steaks, short ribs, baby back ribs, and lobster tails. Once you figure out how much charcoal to use and how to adjust the vents to achieve the desired grill temp, this grill can run a consistent temperature for hours given it's smaller size. I can't recommend this grill enough.
