I bought this because...

93vpmod · May 20, 2016

The UPS man delivered the Weber Jumbo Joe below yesterday while I was traveling for work.

The wife called, "Do you really need another grill?" To which I replied, "Yes, I bought it because the new rotisserie will fit on this grill." To my surprise she said, "Don't you already have a rotisserie for the performer grill?" Busted...

This is actually a perfect size for a few burgers or chops. It heats up well with a small sized Vortex that I already had for a small sized grill. Sorry I didn't get a grill shot, too busy playing basketball with the little boy.

Thumbs up for the SuckleBuster Hoochie Mama and the Texas Pecan, both are great on chops.

He He, Busted.
You should have told her you won it in a raffle:becky:

Wish I had thought of that...

Great little (but not to little) portable grill.

I stole that idea, being a good little Aussie.

Well that’s a very good question

, as I am the only one in my family who reads this forum....here goes..... after I had placed an order for the unit, I was a bit concerned with possible negative feedback from the almighty, but then I had an idea

, as knowone knows my wife ( That I am aware off

), I think this might be safe,,,,,so what I did was obtain raffle book from the paper shop, then ripped out 3 tabs and placed them on the fridge without saying a word, a few days later when I was asked what they were, I simple stated I had purchase a few tickets in a raffle to win a BBQ....and You Guessed it!!! I WON the Raffle. Now I know this might be a little bit on the deceitful side, and I know the end does not justify the means...but it looks really good in the backyard and I will make death bed confession in the years to come

From here.

I may have to store that away for a really good use, like for another racecar.

A man ought not (have to) lie to his significant other over his God Given Right to own as many cookers as he wants and can afford. I have... but I should not be forced to- bad karma and all that. :wink:

I found this post helpful and will include the raffle winning grill story in my upcoming book, "You Too Can Achieve Wife Foo". :thumb:

Sweet and a nice cook to boot.

punchy · May 20, 2016

you deserve nice things.

Wife: "Do you need this?"
You: "No, but I wanted it."

End of conversation.

Words to live by.

Honestly, I'm thinking about getting a Smokey Joe. I would imagine that when I just need to grill for two, I'd save quite a bit in fuel costs. Since it's like $30, I think over time, using that instead of a larger grill will pay for itself.

Go with the Jumbo...there is a night and day difference than with the Smokey Joe that I also have. Wish I had this one first!

Leftwngr · May 21, 2016

My wife has the bs-o-meter on full alert when new purchases show up. I prefer just to take the heat by saying, yes, I really do need another one.

I sleep better that way.... albeit on the couch.

Mike are you saying that, by chance, because of the way the little vortex works in the Jumbo Joe as opposed to the way it does in the Smokey Joe?

ssv3 · May 23, 2016

Love mine also. Possibilities are endless and the size is more than right.

mattmountz94 · May 23, 2016

Man this makes me want to break mine out! Got one a few months ago for smaller cooks but still finding myself using the kettle everytime.

cheez59 · May 23, 2016

It's a sweet little grill that fills a void, will pay for itself in fuel savings and well...it's a Weber.

Good looking food too.
