VERY nice looking chicken - would last about 30 seconds in my house (and that's only because I had a knife!)

something for all to know:
when you buy the Weber hinged grill to use on the 22" OldSmokey
the Weber hinged grill is 21½" in diameter
the stock grill from OldSmokey is 21"
the stock grill sits on the 3 top leg screws that come through the base cabinet
but the Weber's extra 1/2" in diameter keeps it from resting on the 3 screws

what I did to make the Weber grill stable on the cabinet base was to put 3- 3/16" pop rivets through from the outside, at about 1" below the lip. they work great for supporting the larger Weber grill
and don't interfere with the stock 21" grill from resting on the three screws

  I just remembered I have a Craycort cast iron grill for the weber!  Now I have to get an Old Smokey.

xo, Biggles

smoke has one too
he just put his Weber to the curb
and put the cast iron grill on his OldSmokey

  Yeah, yeah, I'm seein' it.  Thank you!

I'm looking at one of these as a gift for a friend, and was wondering about the finish & warranty.

Here's the info:


Finish:  Aluminized Steel - this stuff is rust resistant.

Warranty: 2 Year Limited.

I line the very bottom with a pc of hD foil. I then pick out the charcoal grate and dump it and roll up the foil and I got a pretty clean Old Smokey. If you line the bottom with foil, the bottom pc of the smokey will last forvever and you can always order a new charcoal grate (they always warp) I just take it on the lawn and stand on it every once in a while. When your handles get all splintery, you can order those as well.

I tried out my Old Smokey today for the first time (after an initial burn with no food). I was quite pleased! I didn't attempt anything major...just several burgers and chicken breasts (and one hot dog for my 8 year old). I plan to try some other items soon. This forum was a lot of help and useful tips! Thanks for all the great posts.

Jack, I went to Lowes today to check out the new CharBroil TRU-Infrared grills and saw they had the Old Smokey on clearance.

Old Smokey #22 - $59.79
Leg extensions - $6.88 a set
Weber 22.5 hinged grate $18.99
Weber Charcoal holders - $14.99

So the whole setup would be $100.65, not bad deal.

None of the Lowe's in Norcal have them. I would like to see one in person.

Those are really purdy Captain.
