Sorry, I forgot to take pictures!
Recently I purchased a Jumbo Joe in Florida, for $10. I "smuggled" it up to NJ in a suitcase (purchased for 2$). The best part, due to some confusion, or I liked to think the love of BBQ from the baggage handled, I was not charged the extra $25 baggage fee. Well, I knew about the grill limitation for high sear, but since I have a few other grills, I was not worried. What really amazed me was that the bolts came apart with ease, I would never believe that the grill was over 15 years old. Well I cooked on it the other day: pork chops, baked potatoes and carrots. My thoughts: 18" is perfect for a dinner for 2 people, Grill temperatures were good, I was able to maintain a 300-325 easily I originally bought it for camping, but I can see me using it at home. If I did not have a 22" OTG, I would serious think about getting a 18" OTG. 22.5" Black OTG Green performer Q200 & Jumbo Joe |

I've had two Jumbo Joes / SJP's. On one, I did the one touch mod and gave it to my brother. On the other, I did the Smokey Joe Silver-type bottom vent mod with a vent handle and took it to my Dad's house.
I've cooked on the one at my Dad's twice and I've really enjoyed it. You're right - if you're cooking for two, the 18" is perfect and doesn't take up much room on the patio or carport. Glad you are enjoying your Joe. Pat PFSmith WSM, CB, OTS & G, Performer, Q 220, SJP, BBKettle, Genesis Silver B, et al "Grilling is Therapy; Smoking is a Spiritual Retreat" |

Yes, 18" is almost too perfect for 2 people. I am tempted to get somebody to trade my 22 OTG for an 18" OTG. However the grill was a wedding present so I think I better keep it!
