Great cooker with a lot of buts

I really do like this smoker. I do. It just isn’t quite as set it and forget it as a lot of people say. I have been cooking on this since March of 2020. In that time, I’ve done all sorts of meats - salmon, pork butt, bacon, chicken, brisket, beef ribs, and more spare ribs than I can count. I have co...

Weber 4 Life but slightly disappointed...

I feel like I must start thus out with; I've lived a Weber life. My dad had one and when I moved out I bought one. Then a couple more after breaking up with exes... I've cooked on and perfected charcoal grilling for over 12 years (I'm 38) and will never steer away. That said, it definitely veered me...

Not the same quality as my performer series kettle

I am really disappointed in the design. First, the lid fits inside the 'barrel' of the smoker, allowing any rain water to that hits the lid to run down and seep inside. My performer series kettle lid fits on top of the kettle, keeping even the hardest rain out while cooking. Second, the ridiculous c...

So, this review is in comparison to a $59 charcoal grill of the same configuration that I’ve used for the last 15 years, compared to this $460, Webber. I’m not sorry I bought it, but Webber would do well to make a couple inexpensive corrections. This first is that the center section has no handles, ...

Quite happy with tasty results from my smoker!

Okay, I have wanted a smoker for a long time. A really long time, but I have a much enjoyed Weber grill and felt like more deck space shouldn't be be given up. I was wrong. I really enjoy the smoker, too. The pros: (1) Despite the plethora of parts, it really was pretty easy to put together. Just be...

Fantastic Smoker. . . with a few easy modifications

I have owned my 18" WSM for about 11 months now. In that time, I have probably done about 30 cooks on it. So, I feel I can speak pretty well on my experiences. First off, when I bought this, I had zero experience smoking. I grilled all the time, but never smoked. I was debating on getting a pellet g...

A great little smoker but what do you do with the lid when working with the meat?

The Smokey Mountain Cooker (SMC) is great except: 1) it doesn't seal real well at the access door or around the lid without some help; and, 2) it's a pain to find a good place for the lid when removed to work with the meat. It'll stain whatever you put it on, so I am now setting it on a full-sheet a...

Weber Smokey Mountain Rocks! Especially for bacon.

My wife bought me the 18-inch Smokey Mountain for Christmas 2 years ago. I also have a Traeger, a Weber Kettle, and a Weber gas BBQ. I have used the Smokey Mountain for ribs (St Louis and baby back), whole turkey, pork butt for pulled pork, and bacon. My 2-cents worth, the Smokey Mountain is a very ...

My whole story for 50 years!!

Havnt used yet but looking forward to it. Have 14” for two of us. Had hi schooler assemble...fun for him. I have 4 other cookers, a 22” charcoal Weber.. been doing 22 lb turkeys for 50 years...2 hrs.. cut with fork. Rub with oil, season,place on grate with drip pan between coals for gravy. Dont peek...

Does not hold temps well!

I've had the 18.5 inch model for 7 years and never had issues with it holding temps up to 250. I was pumping charcoal left and right into this thing for a 5 hour cook for pork butts and could barely keep the temps at 230. Sounds great for some longer cooks, but not good when you're trying to keep th...
