Two years ago, we upgraded to this Weber:



Absolutely great.  Use it year around.  Did the Turkeys on Thanksgiving and Christmas on it.  For meat, we virtually never use the oven anymore.  The side burner is great for heating a side dish too.

Very nice Mr. Whippy.  :tu:

I've just decided I'm moving to Denmark so I can have that sweet Weber copper kettle.

For those of us that camp in one spot and are less than mobile (ex. not backpacking)..what's your favourite cooking apparatus?


mine is the Hibachi...http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/2010/02/lodge-hibachi-cast-iron-grill.html

although a smoker is a close second. Nothing like camping and scarfing down smoked hot links, venison, hamburgers and hot dogs.


how much does that bad boy weigh?

I'm certainly not dragging it camping or fishing, but I've started construction on a backyard smoker.  It's basically 2 55 gallon drums, connected by stovepipe and braces.  They sell handy kits that connect it all together.

It's called the Big Baby  :D

Here's what the final product should look like:

That's what I have now :tu:

I wanted the Smokey Joe Gold model but couldn't find one locally. It has a bail arm to lock the lid down for transport.

I used to use a Smokey Joe regularly, but after trying a Weber Go-Anywhere, I find that it's much better for packing away.

I laid down 30 bucks for my Weber at Home Depot. I wanted small portabe...and decent made. At that 30ish dollar price point it was the best made after searching around a bit.

Got a smoky joe a few weeks back,for a few steaks or burgers,better to fire it up rather than than the bigger one....Does what the bigger webers do,on a smaller scale,can control the heat well,when you shut the vents after a quick cook you save a bunch of charcoal for the next time.I have a bigger pit with the offset firebox to be used if i need to cook for more than 4 or 5,but this thing can stretch a bag of charcoal and some wood chunks a long ways compared to my smokers fuel demand.A great buy for 30 bucks from target,i'll eat meat off a gas grill but prefer  cooking over good lump charcoal with some wood chips mixed in for flavor if given a choice..............
