The Smokey Joe is the small Weber: the same porcelain-enameled kettle as the big one, 14 inches across, with a lid, a damper and a handle, light enough to carry to a park or a tailgate. It cooks a few burgers or a couple of steaks over real charcoal and it lasts decades, which is the Weber thing.
It is the Christmas or Father's Day gift for a dad who already has a big grill and wants one for the lake, the housewarming present for a graduate or new homeowner with a balcony, and the gift for a brother who tailgates.
It arrives mostly assembled, needs a bag of briquettes and a chimney starter, and the grate is dishwasher safe. Under sixty dollars for a grill that will outlive the gas one.
