Why hasn't Weber built a one touch system for their smokey joe line? I would gladly pay more for one as I'm sure a lot of people would, but I can't see it costing that much more money to make than their current setup.
What is the air control problem in them? They are very small and the regular silver has plenty of air flow for such a small BBQ. The gold I think would be an improvement but I think the idea with those having the vents on the side is that you can take it with you when the coals are still hot so I wouldn't change it.
Ya' know, to the next party with the coals already lit.
