Great little grill, November 13, 2009

Sturdy grill, portable and great for a tailgate. Can easily grill enough food for four people. Easy assembly. I love this cute little grill!

A great little grill, but not very portable, September 10, 2009

This is a great small grill, but I prefer the somewhat more expensive Weber Charcoal Go-Anywhere, which has more vents and folds up neatly for travel. If you plan to set this grill up on your deck or balcony and not travel much with it, this grill would work well.

Great Grill!, September 8, 2009

We bought this for our small balcony and it is a great little grill. Highly recommended!

Used it today for the first time. Wish it was a little deeper for a roast I was doing. Prime rib turned out great after a bit of modification!

4. Epinions.com

About 40 owners give the Weber Smokey Joe Gold, the slightly more expensive companion model to the Silver, high average ratings. The few complaints concern the grill being too low to the ground and too small to feed more than a few people at a time.
