Weber Jumbo Joe Grill | Ultimate Upgrades | #1 The Ash Catcher Mod
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In order to add an ash catcher to the Weber Jumbo Joe a little DIY elbow grease was needed. With this upgrade you have a full featured "pro" level portable charcoal grill. With this mod I would argue the Jumboe Joe is the best portable charcoal grill money alone can't buy. I hope this serves as the best camping grill for many days at the beach and in the forest to come.

Making weber jumbo joes great again 🎉.. looks awesome.. just put wooden handle on top vent of mine.🎉
Must say, that is a Jumbo Joe mod that is probably the most outstanding addition to a tabletop kettle!
Now if you can come up with the lid hold down for transport and add the low and slow cooking side venting like the 14 inch table top joe has. I am subscribed for future mods!
Hands down the best mod for the Jumbo Joe!!
You’re the man! Have been waiting for a genius to upload a video on this forever ha
Hey, awesome to hear! Hope it helps to know it's possible if not easy.
@@artofthegrill9235 what kind of drip pan is that? seems to fit perfect
Great mod!😊
Great job. I just ordered a Jumbo Joe to go tailgating with. Your video will be very helpful. Thank You.
Best Jumbo Joe mod on the net!
Hey Thanks!
@@artofthegrill9235. Is the Jumbo Joe the 18 inch since I am noticing the lid lock down wire, or is this the premium 22 Jumbo Joe?
Outstanding mod…great job!
Great idea and nice video skills! I wonder if you could please take it out, draw a template and post it so we could do this without the hit or miss. Maybe include measurements of your final solution? Thanks so much.
Freaking awesome!
This is the best mod I've seen and the only one of its kind obviously.
I noticed that once installed; the ash catcher doesn't come out easily.
5:26 The legs seem to prevent it from coming out.
Was that actually something you had to adjust?
If so what did you do?
I was looking for mods for my jumbo joe. I did the pizza pan baffle plate mod. Added a thermometer. But your the only one ive seen adding an ash catcher. Instead of the brackets i just drilled holes for bolts i had laying around. The way you modded the legs made perfect sense aswell. It would have been so easy for weber to design the jumbo this way, at least come up with addons we could buy.
Ausome work! Just shows what determination 👏 will accomplish.
Awesome mod....I would love to see more jumbo joe videos
Now I wanna make that, too, when I get my Jumbo Joe, but I'm a bit scared of screwing it up, since I live in Europe where it's next to impossible to get a Jumbo Joe - and it took me years to finally find a (totally overpriced) buying and shipping option. I'm particularly scared of breaking anything of the original construction (like the legs or anything). I'm not that proficient when it comes working with metal (bending and stuff)...
I am in Spain and want one too. Only Smokey Joe's.
Nice video. Was this a 22 inch model or 18.5?
Can you tell me how long your "fins" ended up being?
Awesome idea!
Perfect!
Amazing!!!
What drip pan is that? Looking for one that would fit
I think this is the one. snsgrills.com/collections/grilling-accessories/products/mini-drip-pan
What did you use for the brackets to attach the ash catcher?
What an amazing DIY!!! Thank you! Is that an ash catcher from a Normal kettle 22”?
Thank you sir. Weber 65131 Ash Catcher Assembly for 18-1/2" One Touch Kettle.
Nice. But way easier to buy an SNS traveler!🙂
Great hand tool skills. Is there a big difference between the Jumbo Joe and the one touch 18” kettle?
I think the 18" kettle is a lot taller in addition to the legs obviously. Also, the bowl on the 18" is rounder if that makes sense. The jumbo joe has a ridge on the lower bowl. I don't have an 18" currently, so I can't compare them side-by-side. I think they grill pretty much the same and have similar cooking area.
Nice job..we're did you get the charcoal basket and drip tray from.
Can't seem to find on line
Let me answer that for you, since the author of the video unfortunately doesn't seem to be active here anymore. The basket is the Slow N' Sear Charcoal Basket (the smallest version) from Adrenaline Barbecue and the drip tray is the Mini Drip Pan from the same company.
I wish the author of the video was still around though to give us some tips on how to bend the legs so nice and clean. I'm somewhat afraid to f*ck that up.
are the holes for the one touch system the same between the 18" inch and the 22", just wondering because the 22" 3 blade one touch is $18 cheaper than the 18" - either way its going to get trimmed but just wondering if it would matter.
I remember finding the same thing with pricing. I'm guessing the 22 would work. I was hoping the 18" was a drop-in which wasn't the case. Since you're trimming it either way the 22 may save you some dollars. If you that route reply back to let other know.
I "think" the 22" would work. Since you're drilling the hole larger anyways, although I'm not 100% sure on the fit
SJP FTW
Haha, had to look up SJP (not Sarah Jessica Parker) found this good reference. weberkettleclub.com/grills/weber-smokey-joe-history/
@@artofthegrill9235 yep. Good for ash and charcoal not falling out. But what you did is a really sweet mod. I like it a lot. Does kit charcoal die if all the vents are closed?
@@jrocthadino You know, it doesn't. I think if I put a seal around the rim of the lid it would, but not sure I want to go that route. For now I'm using a make shift coal pan which puts the coals out instantly and makes it safer to transport in a car etc... Here's a video of that if you're interested. ua-cam.com/video/AsQ8bplkil0/v-deo.html
@@artofthegrill9235 why not just use the step drill on the original vent on the bottom, size it a bit smaller then file some notches in it for the H bracket"timing" it so it's the same as the one touch then you can still choke out the charcoal - should work in theory
@@RfdAviator85 I'm not familiar with a different one touch hole shape/size for the the bottom mount. I reviewed another video where he replaces his ash catcher and you can see it's a standard circle hole as well. ua-cam.com/video/R-5lXBoHQ1o/v-deo.html The one touch (lever system) doesn't look round, but when you pull the lever it needs to be in a round hole. Maybe what you're referring to is different? I DO think I could get a flashlight out to find and close the gaps on the blades to get the coals to extinguish faster.
Your average Joe wouldn't have the DIY skill to do this
Why not just attach a rod to the stock bottom vent?
This also acts as a sweeper for the ash buildup on the bottom that tends to hamper the airflow over the course of a long cook. Plus with this type of ash catcher the ash won't fly all over the place on a windy day.
How big and what did you use for the brackets?
Let me double check on the exact dimensions later, but I used aluminum stock from home depot. It's about 1/4" x 1" x 2", I believe from memory.
Ok it was cut off of 1/8" x 1" bar like this. www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-in-x-36-in-Aluminum-Flat-Bar-with-1-8-in-Thick-801937/204273949. About an 1.5 inches.
It's a handy piece of aluminum to have around
Nice Mod! My next project.
@@artofthegrill9235 awesome sauce!!! So I have everything to do this mod now what would you do and not do again? Can you remember how big of a hole you went with the step bit?
Could you build me one. I’ll Cashapp you.
I wish I had the time!
