Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 47 cm smoker grill

Great smoker, holds about 2 chimney of charcoal and can smoke multiple pork butts, fryers, and brisket without having to reload charcoal

We've never had a smoker before and this is a good one for beginners like us. We made sure to get high quality charcoal and wood. We also bought a wireless dual probed meat & bbq thermometer that really helps. The smoker is relatively easy to clean.

We started with pork and it turned out really well. After that we got brave and did a beef brisket but we didn't leave it in long enough so we put it in a slow cooker afterwards to tenderize it. Last weekend we had guests so decided to be brave and did another brisket. This time we left it one for much longer, sprayed it with apple cider vinegar, wrapped it in butcher paper and gave it a few more hours. We took it off and let it rest for 2 hours. It was perfect. We're looking forward to experimenting with other meats.

It's a learning curve but this smoker is a game changer!

If you want to learn the art of smoking over coals, then look no farther than the WSM. It's not quite as set it and forget it as my Searwood, but once you have it dialed in this thing is a BEAST when it comes to smoking. All my cooks have had awesome flavor and it is extremely easy to manage the temperature with.

Great smoker. Solid construction and nice features. Impressive quality

I have used an offset successfully for many years. I watched my buddy use his 14" to smoke a brisket and wow! So I got me an 18" and it is so much more simple. Easy to start, regulate, and clean. Absolutely sold.

I’m going to try my first smoked pork butt tomorrow Feb. 13, 2025

This smoker replaces an older one (>15 years) that rusted out. The 18" Weber is larger than my old one, but I plan to smoke full sized briskets and needed the larger size. Assembly of the legs to the charcoal pan required some modification and balancing act, but the remainder was easy. Inserting the rubber gasket for temperature probes was a problem and the gasket tore - but was replaced by Weber quickly.

So far, I have only smoked chicken wings and they came out perfect. The guide regarding recommended charcoal briquettes was very helpful. Temperature was steady at 250 degrees and the wings were delicious. Can't wait to try it out with a brisket.

Excellent! Took two cooks to get the hang of it but makes a smoking rookie feel like a pro. In hindsight I should’ve bought the bigger one because of increased demand since the food turns out so good. Turkey, chicken and ribs have been elevated; going to do brisket once the Canadian winter subsides. Highly recommended for novice users who want to get into the smoking game.

Amazing how much food can be cooked even with the 18. So far results have been outstanding. Great job Weber!

Really enjoying the WSM 18 smoker. Most recently smoked a Thanksgiving turkey and it was the best turkey we ever had. The WSM is easy to use and holds a consistant heat even in cold weather and I would highly recommend it.
