FAQs
What kind of charcoal should I use?
The Weber Smokey Joe Premium is designed to work with charcoal briquettes. Lump charcoal can also be used, but it burns hotter and faster.
How do I control the temperature?
The temperature is controlled by adjusting the dampers. Open dampers increase airflow and heat; closed dampers decrease airflow and heat.
How do I clean the cooking grate?
Clean the cooking grate with a grill brush while it is still warm after each use to remove food particles.
Can I use this grill for smoking?
Yes, you can use the Smokey Joe for smoking by using the 'snake method' or by indirect grilling.
What's the best way to light the charcoal?
Use a charcoal chimney starter for the best results. Alternatively, use lighter fluid, but ensure the charcoal is fully ashed over before cooking.
How do I store the grill?
Store the grill in a dry place when not in use. Use a grill cover to protect it from the elements.
What is the warranty on the Smokey Joe Premium?
The Weber Smokey Joe Premium comes with a 10-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
Grill won't heat up enough.
Ensure sufficient charcoal is used and that the dampers are open to allow for proper airflow. Check for any obstructions in the vents.
Food is cooking unevenly.
Ensure charcoal is distributed evenly. Rotate food frequently for even cooking. Make sure the lid is on for more consistent heating.
Difficulty controlling the temperature.
Adjust the dampers to regulate airflow. Closing the dampers will reduce the heat, while opening them will increase the heat. Experiment with different damper settings.
Rust on the grill.
Clean and dry the grill after each use. Store it in a dry place. Consider using a grill cover for added protection.
