I've had a 22" Weber kettle for many, many years, and recently bought a Jumbo Joe to take camping with me last weekend. I live at sea level, we were camping at Sequoia National Park around 6,500 ft elevation. Brand new bag of the regular Kingsford charcoal, just like I use at home, so I have a pretty good idea of its cooking characteristics. I noticed it took a lot longer for the charcoal to light, I had to add a lot more charcoal to cook, and the coals went out really, really fast when I closed top and bottom vents. Are there any good rules of thumb to figure out how to compensate for charcoal grilling at higher elevations?
The Jumbo Joe is fantastic for camping. Best food we've ever had out in nature, and like everyone says, the Jumbo Joe is a great grill
