I've tried to grill out on my little smokey joe grill twice this year. It sits close to the ground and the ground was cold enough to pull all the heat out of my grill. Both times I had to finish cooking in the house.

But not today, the surface temp of the ground was around 75 degrees. I smoked a whole pack of kosher hotdogs with pecan wood... they are so good. I had 2 dogs, 2 ears of corn smothered with melted butter and old bay seasoning, chips and a piece of pie... I'm stuffed.

I have not seen a Smokey Joe in a long time. When I was an apartment dweller I had one that sat out on my patio. If I remember correctly I had purchased extended legs for it so it would sit much higher off the ground.

It's perfect for one or two people... I can do 5 burgers or a pack of dogs. I've even done a couple of ribeyes on it, just the sear, finished in the oven. I smoke almost everything with pecan wood and only use lump charcoal. $30 and cooks great food. I used to get a new one every couple of years because the grate wears out. Last year I discovered ace hardware sells replacement grates that fit, $12.

Strawberry would have her face in there just to see if she could grab your food.
Too low to the ground for me.
 
Last night I smoked three 6lb turkey breasts "Texas style" with coarse salt, pepper, garlic, onion, celery seed, and butter. Turned out amazing.

Tonight I am reverse searing some thick bone-in pork chops. 20 minutes on low heat with pecan smoke and then 1-2 minutes per side on a cast iron griddle.

Have I mentioned that I love my new grill? This tube smoker add on is pretty awesome too. But I still am looking at a new dedicated smoker.
