Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 57 cm smoker grill

Had the 18 inch WSM for nearly 10 years but wish I had got the 22. After many cooks on the 18 over the years, I finally decided to get the 22. It fits things like ribs and brisket way better and I advise anyone to go ahead and get the 22 inch if you’re debating. 22 inch is a little more work to stabilize temps than the 18 inch, in my experience. That being said, this thing works like a champ. Cooks great food and great smoke flavor. Amazing smoker

Excellent cooker. Adds great flavor to your proteins with the charcoal and wood flavors.

Versatile and excellent for entry level as well as advanced.

Loistava vehje. Edellinen ollu käytössä jo 10 vuotta ja edelleen porskuttaa.

I do competitions over the years, from West Coast to Florida Coast and Upper mid south. i have 22" ketgle and old still open botomm bullets and 18 y 22 WSM. Weber is like part of me over the years. Absolutey nothing works like your designs. i built a coffin top smoker with dual stacks works fantastic along side your Webers. I truly enjoy the magnitude of compitions and winning on Webers.

This is my second one. I love Wber Smokey Mountains! The first one from 2011 is still going strong I just needed a second one.

Except for a pellet smoker and stickburner, I have owned all types of smokers over the last 25 years—kamados, electrics, kettles with charcoal baskets for indirect cooking, and multiple types of each. But bar none, my favorite is my WSM 18" that I purchased in '09. The WSM 18" served me better than all for smoking due to its simplicity (no moving parts), its use of a ubiquitous fuel, and my love for managing a fire.

One of the underappreciated aspects of the WSM is the ability to adjust smoke flavor for different meats and palates. Not all smokers have such flexibility, but the WSMs do, and the 22" doesn't disappoint in that area. Also, with the simplicity of design and some experience, you can learn to manage the fire to hit stable temperatures without the use of a thermoelectric-controlled blower.

When I needed more smoking real estate, although tempted with the new Weber pellet smokers (they look so awesome), I went with the larger version of my G.O.A.T. I ordered the WSM 22" and it hasn't disappointed. Due to my experience on the 18th, it took me only one cook to figure out how to manage the fire and dial in the desired temperature, achieving temperature stability for hours. The extra real estate allowed me to cook two 13 lb spatchcocked turkeys for Thanksgiving on the top grate and catch the drippings in a pan on the bottom grate for delicious gravy with a kiss of smoke.

If, like me, you enjoy fire and smoke management as part of the BBQ process, you won't be disappointed with the WSM.

Tough, durable and just keeps on smoking. One of the best presents I've ever received.

Have only used once since purchase but easy to use, easy to light and keep heat at right temperature. Great results on the ribs I smoked. Put wheels on it to make it easy to move around. Sealed up tight and did not have much smoke leakage. Very pleased with it over my old electric smoker.

10/10 just need to upgrade the thermostat and bend the door a tad
