Love the forum as a resource. Thought I would pass along some information, since I had struggled with an solution for the past two weeks, and thought others here may have had the same problem/dilemma.
Namely, finding Weber OEM replacement legs and ash pan for my Smokey Joe. About two weeks ago my Smokey Joe's ash catcher pan rusted away and broke away from the legs. I considered some solutions, but a closer inspection of the legs and pan hardware showed they were too far gone with rust to dedicate any time to repairing the pan (despite the lower and upper bowl being in fine shape). Searching out replacement legs (Weber Part No. 63072) ~$15, and ash catcher pan (Weber Part No. 86061) ~$8, PLUS delivery cost (~$5-$10), it looked like I'd just be better off buying a new Smokey Joe (Model 10020) for the typical $30 retail price found at Amazon, Walmart, etc. BUT, I didn't want to. I appreciate that this sounds weird, but my Smokey Joe has sentimental value.
You see, after using my then-new WSM at the turn of the century (love to use that phrase), I wanted to give grilling with charcoal a try after growing up using gas from my teens into early adulthood. So, I bought my Smokey Joe in 2005. It was a revelation to eat food cooked over hot charcoal again! Almost like a "gateway grill" I ended up eventually buying the 22' One-Touch Gold Kettle. That said, the Smokey Joe best fit 90% of my grilling needs when not cooking for more than a few people. Then I purchased the Craycort cast-iron grate kit for the SJ a couple of years ago, and that kicked-up the Smokey Joe's capability to a seemingly whole new level. I love this Smokey Joe, so having to say "good-bye" would have been rough.
Long story short, while Googling around today for a miraculous discount on a Weber 10020, I came across a Weber parts kit to replace both the legs and ash catcher pan on the Smokey Joe, it's Weber Part No. 97790. It includes the legs, the ash pan, and the various nuts, bolts, and washers to get my old "DO" date-coded "MADE IN U.S.A. - PALATINE, IL" Joe on a new footing. The kit is offered both at appliancefactoryparts.com ($9; PLUS $10 shipping) and ereplacementparts.com ($10; PLUS $5.50 Shipping). I hope others that have been looking to refurb/re-build their Smokey Joes find this info helpful.
