Nice cook Chuck, when I had my SJ I did the same thing. I upgraded to a Jumbo Joe (Got a new unused one at a garage sale for $10) and like that a little more, works better for larger things like pork steaks and chicken quarters. But I do kind of miss the SJ.

I'm with Rich on this one, the JJ just has more room to play. I actually sold my SJ yesterday, hopefully he will get more use out of it than I have.
 
Very nice! We got a new camper, and I put one of my SJs in there to be a camping grill, since that's what I bought it for in the first place!! :p Wooden handle black SJ, $5 at a yard sale shortly after we bought our first pop up.
Did some cooks on my Miller Lite SJ this last weekend. I'll post some pics soon.

I wouldn't mind having a JJ, but this was kind of a challenge cook. A buddy said that if it weren't for making SJ-Mini out of the SJ, it would be a useless BBQ. I couldn't let him say that and get away with, so I proved him wrong :)

What is that thing in the center of the bowl? Looks like a diffuser of sorts.

That's a tuna can that we use when we run our SJ's in our SJ-Mini smokers. My SJ is a Silver, and the vents are on the bottom and they tend to clog with ash when doing long cooks. The tuna can (has holes in the side) help block the ash that piles up. Had I been thinking I would have removed the tuna can during this cook as there was no need for it, since I was running < 20 charcoals total

Thanks everyone for the kind words, I've taken a little extra interest in my SJ. I want to fab a charcoal basket for it (would have been handy for this cook) and I want to do a dozen wing cook on it. I don't think I could do a full dozen of the "flapper" type wings, but I could do a dozen of the "trimmed" wings.
