User Reviews

The Weber is a great little smoker. I have been smoking for 2 years now, year round, with is smoker and feel I am qualified to share my opinions and thoughts on this smoker.

Pros - It is inexpensive, not to hard to use and turns out some very good BBQ. If you don't want to spend a ton of cash and are just cooking for friends and family the Weber is hard to beat.

Cons - No Thermometer. Now I know they have finally put them on the other models but this one does not have one and that is ridiculous! Temp is the most important thing in smoking. Next is the fact that it does not have handles on the side for when you have to put more coals in. This would have been very helpful. Lastly is the legs. They suck! Mine folded in about 1 1/2 years. So I rigged my own. No problems since.

So over a great little vertical smoker that puts out some great tasting, moist BBQ.

P.S. - If you pack that sucker full you can get 40 pounds of Pork Butt in it. -- Great smoker with few complaints

I would have given it 5 stars if there was a temp gauge and the grates for the charcoal were a little closer together. I use lump charcoal and sometimes there are a lot of small pieces, so they will fall through the grates a little. It has great temp control and lots of room. You can add the charcoal without taking any of the racks out end check the temp of the meat on the lower rack through the door. Could also use a little bigger water bowl.
-- Nice Smoker, good control

I did a lot of research on the different types of smokers that are available and am so glad I bought the Smokey Mountain Cooker. The first time I had ever smoked was a couple weeks ago with this unit and it turned out perfectly! I've been smoking every weekend since and whatever I put in it comes out tender and perfectly smoked.
I would highly recommend this smoker to anyone. -- Wonderful Smoker

I was expecting the current model with the temp guage and larger water pan not old inventory. -- Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker

I had a horizontal smoker with the fire box on the side previously. It was OK but it took alot attention to keep the temp constant. My neighbor and his brother both have the Weber and highly recommended it. The are both avid smokers. This smoker is easy to use and works well. The only thing I would change is to make the opening for the door larger so that a Weber coal chimney can fit in to add charcoal. I had to fabricate a sheet netal adapter for the chimney so that I can add charcol. I would also add a visual indication to show locked position on the door. These are minor issues. I would definitely recommend this smoker. -- Pretty decent smoker!
