I have been lurking on CL and Offer Up to round out my collection. I needed the elusive Jumbo Joe and they just don't show up very often. Today was the day. I saw a NIB JJ listed for $50. I offered him $40 and it was a deal. Brand new in a sealed box, I'm happy.
I still have the original that was on sale for $20 at ace. Never used. Just found the bowl for it as the original had rust from just sitting. Forgot about it.
I often use my Jumbo Joe. I find it a REALLY good grill. It is only limited by space. I have never been happy with either the Smoky Joe Silver or Gold (although either makes a really good Mini Joe Smoker). I use one of my Performer baskets for indirect. As I have reported before, the JJ works very well with the Home Made Vortex, too.
Nice score Pat. You'll love that JJ, very efficient and perfect for small cooks direct, indirect or with a dog dish vortex. Enjoy and lets see some action shots. As Robert said the performer basket work great in the JJ.
