Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 47 cm -savustusgrilli

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.

So far I have only done very basic with throwing some lump in there and burning it in and got to 350 quick. Its winter.. next day it didnt go as high but that was my fault. held at 290 for a long tiome based on what was in it and then just added a few bricks and went to 315 and held...I just know this is going to be amazing once Its not freezing out

I purchased this from a local specialty retailer not too long ago, and have used it a few times before the cold and snow moved in (I live in Ottawa, Ontario). The first time was a little deflating - there is a lot of experience needed with this unit. After that, things went better, and the end product was very good.

Been wanting to get into smoking for a while. Kept doing research on a great smoker to learn on but one that can also pump out some competition style bbq, let me tell you this is the one. Have only used it 3 times so far but absolutly in love with it. Done pork belly, ribs, and a beef shank. All turned out so good. Cannot recommend this smoker enough coming from a beginner like myself.

Very nuce smoker. Heavy duty, cooks great. Would be better if it had handles on the middle section
