Larry,
I have the standard Smokey Joe (same size, less features than the Gold); I use mine all the time. It's the same high quality construction (porcelain-coated steel, etc.) as the rest of the Weber line. Its main limitation is its size, obviously, but the small size can be an advantage at home, when you're only grilling a steak or a few chops and don't need a big cooking surface. You can get a very hot fire going with a small amount of charcoal. Highly recommended. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
