Recommends for Patio/Portable Smoker

pbcYou didn't mention how many people you are cooking for.

pbc

As many as possible, of course! Haha.
Mostly just the two of us. We have two very little ones as well. Whom, I understand, will likely eat more and more, as we go along.

pbcDo you want to just "grill"?

pbc

Or Low n slow too? We all know the Weber kettle and PK can do both but do you really need a full size grill?

pbc

Low/Slow is key. I have a gasser, so grilling isn't *as* critical. That said, it would be nice if I could grill on it, because... if its small, its likely portable. And I'd love something I could use for tailgating and camping (the gasser is not portable).

pbcWeber has the Smoky Joe perfect for a smaller need. I've been known to mention pbc the PBC a few times. Great cooker, also has the JR., fire is well contained but as fzxdoc mentioned a little hard to grill on. Let us know what you decide.

Thank you!!!

(Can't really tell how you feel about Pit Barrels? Have you heard of them? I want you to feel comfortable sharing your opinions here..)

If portability and smoking are required you can't beat the PK360. More versatile than WSM and PBC and more portable. "Portable Kitchen"...lol

Ok. My vote is for Weber 22. You can still get a Smoky Joe in that size. I think. Anyway . cook. Eat. Enjoy!

I also live in the city and before moving to our row home with a "backyard" we lived in a condo with a balcony. I used a WSM 14 and it was great. I would use it to smoke and sear.
