Don't thank him, he's wrong. I just bought a jumbo joe. It does not have
bottom vents, it has side vents. However, in spite of this, it works as good
as any grill I have used in 27 years of grilling.

Wasn't trying to impress you or anyone else for that matter.

Dude, they are above the coals. They are in no sense *bottom vents*.

Correct! That is what they are designed for.

Not at all. When I first saw the configuration of the Jumbo Joe I was
concerned that it wouldn't draw correctly. However, being it is a Weber
product, I was certain that they wouldn't be selling something with a
serious design flaw. I assumed the original poster may have had a similar
concern and decided to offer my input.
