2013_04_10_05_34_43_Smokey_Joe_SilverIf you are looking for the best grill that can be used for any occasion, at home or when camping, it is always right to think of weber Smokey Joe grills. They comes as either gold or silver models. The vents on silver grills are placed on the bottom, and thus there is better air flow. This makes silver better grill. The only drawback is that the vent tends to easily clog up with ash, so you will have to poke holes while cooking to ensure the air flow is not hampered by the ash.

The gold Smokey grill is designed with vents on the sides. This is the better design since it allows for better air flow, although side vents do not allow efficient air flow like in silver grill. Silver Smokey grills tend to be more popular though.
