Weber Smokey Joe 14-Inch Charcoal Grill (Tuck-N-Carry)
Weber's lightest kettle, on a listing with a short record — Weber's 14-inch kettle as it is sold now (1501695): 147 sq in, 8.4 lb, lid and bowl dampers and a Tuck-N-Carry lid lock — the features of the old Smokey Joe Premium under a new model number. Weber dropped the lid-vent-only Silver. The current listing holds 4.7★ across 155 on Amazon; the old listings' deep records did not carry over, and no tester has published a test of this version.

Pros
- 8.4 lb with the lid locked: the lightest kettle here that is built like Weber's big ones
- Lid and bowl dampers — the old Silver had a lid vent only, which is why some testers' Smokey Joe struggled
- $54.99, sold and shipped by Amazon.com, with the same 10-year bowl-and-lid term as the Jumbo Joe
Cons
- A young owner record: 155 ratings, because Weber re-listed the 14-inch under a new model; the old listings' bases did not carry over
- 147 sq in is a meal for two or three, not a crowd
- No published test of this version: the testers who panned the Smokey Joe tested the lid-vent-only model or one that predates the lid holder
Price and finish more than the cooking. One owner says "the top grate was made to small and does not sit flat on the rim", one that the new version costs twice what the old one did ("What used to cost about 28 bucks now costs 54 bucks"), one was missing a part and one calls the instructions "terrible".
