Amazon.com Review
There's nothing better than slow-cooked barbecue. And, there's no better way to get authentic smokehouse flavor at home than with the Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker. Perfect for large gatherings, it's easy to cook a whole turkey and an entire ham at the same time in this roomy charcoal smoker. So there's no need to plunge straight into ham prep when you still haven't recovered from baking the turkey. Made of premium-grade steel, the smoker has two, triple-nickel-plated cooking grates measuring 18-1/2 inches in diameter-plenty of room for larger birds. Individual vents on the bowl and lid offer optimal air-flow control for tender meats and longer-burning charcoal. Rust-resistant aluminum vents and an aluminum fuel door ensure years of clean use. The bowl and lid are coated with porcelain enamel for optimal corrosion resistance. And, a porcelain-enameled water pan adds steam to the cooking process, so meats stay moist and juicy. Maintenance-free, glass-reinforced, nylon handles withstand the elements for the life of this innovative charcoal grill. The Smoky Mountain measures 41 by 19 by 19 inches, and rests easily on a park bench or patio. The purchase includes a Weber cookbook, a heavy-duty vinyl cover, and is covered by a 10-year limited warranty. --Brian Olson

Customer Reviews
I really just want one.
Well, I really would just actually like to have one of these grills, but I'm on my third try to get one that isn't damaged.
I am a Charcoal Grill Nut and have toyed alot with slow smoking meats on my traditional Brinkmann charcoal grill. I've gotten pretty good at it but it's a pain separating the coal to one side, meat to the other, regulating the heat, etc.
...So I did all the research on smokers and decided the Weber SM smoker was the best choice. I am a big Amazon user and fan. So I ordered a few weeks ago.
The smoker arrived in an undamaged package. Opened it up and both the top bowl and the bottom bowl had a very uniform marred/flattened spot on the ring. The rings were too far out of round to use and didn't fit in the middle cylinder correctly.
I returned to Amazon and they immediately sent a new one. As an aside, I have to say from this and other experiences that Amazon is absolutely fantastic on returns.
The new one came in a few days. Opened it up. Top bowl fine. Bottom bowl - same exact flaw. Box was undamaged.
I did not want to go through this again - I was 80% sure a third one from Amazon would be damaged. This is not an Amazon issue that I can tell. Everything I saw tells me this is a manufacturing issue and there is probably an entire mfg lot of the bowls that are flawed.
I instead called Weber directly. They are "hand picking" one off the assembly line and sending it to me. I am current waiting for it.
Once I receive it in good condition and try the smoker I'll revisit my rating on this....
Mr.
Outstanding for smoking a pork shoulder. It is made to last for a very long time.
Smokey Mountain Perfection (or pretty close)
Prior to buying the Smokey Mountain smoker, I had owned several water smokers - mostly the two piece Brinkmans - the ones with the separate charcoal pan. I wore them out around every 2 years, but they are relatively cheap, so I would just replace them. This year I decided to get something a little more durable and one that would offer more temperature control. I wanted to buy an egg, but they are a little too expensive. During research, I ran across the Virtual Weber Bullet site, and being a Weber fan, I took a look and decided to get the Weber smoker (not readily available in stores - I had never seen it before). Well, it has turned out to be a beautiful purchase. I have used it to grill steaks and chicken, but the best part is that I used it to smoke some pork butts and a couple of racks of ribs (separate smoking sessions), and it works better than any smoker I have ever owned. The temperature control is great; the smoker itself is a heavy gauge steel and looks like it will hold up well. I would recommend this to any serious bar b que fanatic. A bonus - since buying it, I have noticed that a lot of competition bar b que-ers use it - I catch glimpses of it on all of the competitions shown on various TV networks! I am smoking with the big dogs now!!! The Weber is a little pricey - almost 200 bucks - but seems to be a good buy.
