Becky is correct. 10001 is the color and should translate to Jet Black. These are essentially the same as a SJ Silver but with a wood handle and a slightly different leg/ash pan assembly. I think it is a great price for a new smokey joe, especially one thats more than 20 years old.

Wow....Im with Jim....thats a steal. I believe the model is SJ-100 and the color is 10001. I havent seen one of those with a screw on handle only rivets.
Im not sure how to post a previous link but there is a discussion from 2009 with photos of the same grill purchased NIB from ebay.
I am very pleased with my SJ. The gentelman I purchased the grill from just wanted it out of his storage unit. Besides the SJ I also bought a picnic size Sunbeam gasser and no name small charcoal grill from the 80's. The other grills were in unopened boxs too.
That is a great grill. My best friend has one and we use it on fishing trips. With the three vents you can really get some nice high temps for cooking a beautiful steak. The legs are a bit wobbly so be careful but the airflow makes up for it. You have a winner. Please do what it was made to do and sear something on that baby!
Very nice find. Is there a date code on the lid vent? Also thanks for the close up of the handle. Now I know what mine is suppose to look like. (I just picked up a 1981 low use SJ for $3 today.
