Our Smoky Joe is a number of years old. Maybe 20 I could not get the grill cover on it to completely cover it. Did anyone else have this problem

I purchased a new smoky joe and cover at the same time. Everything fits perfect. Probably your 20 yr old grill is a little bigger than what they make now.

I have the Smokey Joe carry bag, not the cover; they're two different products, unable to help. I also have a cover that drops on, not from Amazon but near 20 years old as my barbecues, and it fits. Not much help, sorry...

I used this cover on my "old' smokey joe without any issues...I must admit tho' that it is an extremely tight fit..

no! not for the jumbo but they have weber covers for the 18 1/2 " standard weber that may work if shortened the regular Smoky Joe has a nice carrying cover that would be nice for the Jumbo...

The regulator is probably bad. I had this same problem on this model. Had to replace the grill. Not sure why it does, but something happens and it does not let enough gas through to heat, or, no gas flow at all. I tried turning the adjuster knob slowly from low to hi and back, several times. No go.

I've had two of these grills and same thing happened to both. (once the top and once the bottom stopped heating up...) It couldn't be fixed.....Love this grill except for that reason...I'm moving on to something different unfortunately...

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.

it happened to me the first time. I always have it at a very low temperature on the stove and it rises slowly. I so I haven't had the problem again. I know we have the same smoker. the last time I used it I actually put it in the oven at 200 degrees and let it smoke with the cover on too.

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

Hi Mona, Make sure that the main unit or the charcoal filter inside is not in backwards I did this once and it drove me nuts late at night. I came back in the morning and found my problem. ALso the cover should slide without any resistance.

Go on line an contact the company. My friend purchased one after I told her how much I like mine and she just got hold of the company to purchase the aluminum liner and brickets. When Lowes still carried the grill I purchased extra brickets when I got my grille and they ordered new liners for me less than a year later. They won't do that any longer.Surprised more places don't sell grills like this with all the condos and apartment dwellers around the country.

Puxzled mine works just fine. Do you unzipp it all the way and roll it completely out? If it dose not work it could be the wrong one they sent you or it could have bern made wrong. My roadtrip lxe grill fits just great with a little room to spare. Try adjusting it. If it still dose not work you may have to send it back. Hope this helps.

The Montana cover is a good product that is styled to the Weber Silver.... However, there is a problem with the "hight" of the cover.The picture on the left shows the entire wheel of the grill. The cover is far to high/long which results in the bottom "draging" on the ground, thus, when moved, the bottom of the cover gets cought under the wheel. The cover should be 4-5 inches shorter. So thecorrect answer to your question is: Not without modification!

I know that problem. I've never had an issue with smoke. The trick with a grill pan is to pre-heat until hot then add your food item, and then it doesn't take long to cook. I've done hot dogs, pork chops, steaks of course. Hope this helps. Love my grill pan.

I have the same device. Of course I didn't realize that it was for meat temp., not grill temp, so when it went over what you'd ever want for meat... well same problem. However, I noticed the problem right away and it was just fine next time I used it. If you didn't see it right when it happened, but let it get even higher you might have burned something out. Not much help, sorry and good luck.

Hmm. Never have had a problem with low moisture or dry meat. I've never had the water pan run dry. The juices from the meat drain into the water pan, assuming it is correctly installed, so usually it overflows and runs into the grease trap drawer in the bottom of the smoker. A couple of questions & suggestions: 1. What temp are you using? Smoking at too high a temperature for too long is the most likely problem. I smoke pork butts on 235 F for about 16 hrs with great results. I usually have to empty the grease trap several times as the water pan overflows into the trap. Also, it could be that your thermometer or heat controller is defective. You can run a remote meat thermometer into the unit simply lay it on the grill where the meat would be to verify that the unit is maintaining the proper temperature. NOTE: Don't be worried if it is 5 or 10 degrees off from the display on the unit (50-100 degrees difference probably indicates a problem). 2. Are you closing the small circular exhaust on the upper left side of the unit? I keep this vent fully closed (as closed as it will go) during the entire cooking time. 3. Keep the wood chip feeder inserted at all times (except when actually adding chips). If the chip feeder is left out, it lets too much air into the unit and causes a variety of problems. 4. Make sure your door seals are in clean, in good condition, and sealing properly. You may have to adjust the door latch if it's too loose or too tight. 5. Don't open the door during cooking, unless it is really necessary 6. Smoke your brisket fat side up so the fat will drip down through the meat as it cooks off 7. Make sure you do not overfill your water pan. Even at max fill, the water pan should be mostly empty (there's a max fill line on the pan).

Sorry Brent I haven't been able to get any smoke out of mine. Sixty years ago when I was 8 I had no problems, but today trains are not near as good as the old metal ones. Sorry.rick

I have tried it several times in my weber grill. I cannot get it to stay lit. I have tried to crack the lid a little, with it on the side where there is no heat turned on. The smoke goes right out the "crack" in the grill. I also let it burn for at least 20 minutes before i put it in there, still no luck.
