I was given this as a Father's Day present and it is crazy easy to use! I was kind of worried that I would be throwing away bad results since I have never smaoked anything, but this smaoker is incredible and easy to use and be successful.

The assembly was not smooth or easy to complete as the bottom pan does not fit smoothly intothe appropriate slots. Asaresult, the pan slips off frequently. The directions on assembling thelegs did not clearly displaythe proper order of washers and nut.

The control that you have with this smoker is truly impressive and the size works perfectly for cooking for up to 10 people easily.

Very solid, should last forever! After lighting give the coals some time to settle down ( up to an hour) and the temps are very easy to maintain. Some people don’t like the water pan but it works great for lower temperatures.

This is not my first WSM. Just like children: I love them all the same!

Weberin peruslaatua, eli hyvää keskitasoa, mutta aina olisi paramnettavaakin. Tässä tapauksessa tulipesän luukku on varsin onneton ja falskaa kuin Ladan stefa. Vaikuttaa hiilloksen ilmanottoon ja säätöön. Mutta tulenkestävällä eristenauhalla tämäkin korjaantuu. Lämpömittarin voisi jättää paketista pois , koska niillä ei tunnetusti tee mitään. Itse savustamisen WSM kuitenkin hoitaa erinomaisesti ja tilaa on isolle brisketille tai parille. Lämpö pysyy tasaisena, ja lopputulokset olleet loistavia.

I debated buying a WSM for several years and finally pulled the trigger on the 18” model. I’ve had it for about a month now and used it half a dozen times. I’ve been very happy with the results. I’ll break down my thoughts into the highlights of positives and negatives.

First the positives: The food that comes off this thing is

excellent. It is a steady, steady cooker. The temps are rock

solid for about 6 hours with a full load of briquettes and various wood chunks (I usually use 3 or 4). I keep the lid vent completely open, two bottom vents completely shut, and one bottom vent about halfway open. When the temp starts to dip, it likes to ride at 275 with this method. I open the closed bottom vents as needed and get another two hours of steady temp. I do not use the water pan (see below). Construction is good and I don’t notice much in the way of smoke-leakage. I’ve done brisket, chicken, pork butt, pork belly, cinnamon rolls, bacon, etc. results are excellent.

Now the negatives: This thing needs wheels and barrel handles. You can do them after-market, and I may do that eventually. But for now, I have to put it where I want it and leave it there for the entire cook. The water pan is a total mess if you use it. You can wrap it in foil, but it still gets full of grease and it is a real job cleaning it out. I’d love to see Weber make heavy-duty foil liners for it. I cook without it and use a foil pan with water on the lower cooking grate. Needless to say, I have only used the top grate for cooking.

This is an excellent product overall. I’m a Weber junkie, and this WSM adds to my kettles and gasser.

Fantastic smoker! I have smoked with this for a long time now and have loved it more and more each time I use it. I love the control, ease, versatility, really everything about it. I added some mods, like a hinge for the lid, and handles, and I love it even more! It's fantastic and could not recommend enough!

Works well, videos helped. Look forward to trying as a bbq.

We’ve had one for years now. The best bbq ever. Can’t afford the newer version though.

This was a Father’s Day gift and what a gift!!! It’s been easy to set up, the videos on the website were very helpful in setting it up, preparing it, and my first efforts using it

We visited a large, military/first responder themed, BBQ Chan and saw an opportunity for a chance drawing of the smiling let, “why not?” Entry completed, made our order and put it out of my present mind. On Father’s Day I received a call from a number that I didn’t recognize, so I put on my best “child voice” impression and answered, rapidly switched to talking about my dinosaur collection and my favorite color, and fortunately for me the person who called explained who they were, why they were calling and asked to speak to “your Daddy.” Well, it turned out that I’d won the smoker and they wanted to know when I could pick it up, “uhm… this afternoon” and the wheels were in motion. After picking the fully assembled and decked out smoker the wheels of creativity began to engage and spin, which my wife recognized and cautioned me to “go slow.” I assured her that I would do do and set off for the local large mega store in search of meat! I located some brisket, decided that two should do it, picked up charcoal and some cherrywood. While preparing the meat, coals had been lit to burn down, wood chips were soaking and the gears were engaged. At that moment I reflected, “perhaps I should look at the Weber site for some ideas and tips,” which later proved to be extremely helpful. Coals settle, some chips on the coals, meat on the racks (there’s two), water “bowel” filled with the wood chip water and topped off with hard cider, the journey began. At the end of six hours, a few adjustments later, the meats were pulled off and foil wrapped, then returned to the grill for the final two hours while we zipped off to a graduation. we had planned for a small group of 30ish people to attend a post party, and during the graduation I kept hearing more people saying that they were coming over and inviting others, “there’s smoked brisket… you should come over.” Terror began to seep in, was the brisket going to be good, would there be enough, etc.. In the end, over 90 people attended, all raved about the brisket and wanted to know what place we’d picked it up from as it was so good. I confessed that this was my first dip in the world of smoking food in a non-survival setting and that I’d followed the directions/suggestions from Weber and things were amazing! I would highly recommend Weber grills and definitely the smokers, they’re easy and intuitive in their designs and operation. I’m looking forward to many more adventures with our smoker.

I'm a big Weber fan (gas grill, charcoal grill ) and this smoker is a great addition. Very well made and easy to use.

My Smokey Mountain is great. I’ve smoked several items. The smoker maintained the desired temperature throughout the cook. It is easy to use and clean. I have recommended this smoker to my family and friends. Great buy.

After an exhaustuve smoker search i found this smoker, and couldnt be happier!

So easy to maintain temperature! I've had a weber performer kettle for about 12 years and it's a great product. I've used it for smoking, but it's so much easier and better on the smokey mountain! Now I've got a great grill for smoking along with with my kettle for high temperature grilling. Weber products are well built and last forever, so I'm excited for many years of smoking on my Weber Smokey Mountain!

This is a great little vertical smoker. Multiple dampers allow for easy heat control. Built in water pan is a nice feature. 2 racks so you can cook at two different temperatures. Very easy to set up and use. Perfect for chicken, pork shoulder, smaller briskets, and rib racks. Do yourself a favor, though, and get a secondary thermometer. Installed thermometer is inconsistent.

This is my second Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. First one is from 1982, 43 years old. Cooked many many times on it over the years with Great results. The new one has many improvements including built in thermometer , larger water pan, heat shield and many other improvements. Looking forward to using the new smoker.

As with the other Weber products I own, this exceeds expectations.

Does what it’s supposed to. Easy to assemble. Easy to operate. Easy to clean. I’ve had never smoked before and was able to immediately achieve great results. I love the amount of online content from other users that provide tips and tricks.

I am totally pleased with it. The steel that is used is substantial and will last for a very long time. I BBQ alot and I am enjoying this charcoal grill tremendously.

I enjoy this smoker, however, I believe the water pan is far too big. Its depth impacts the charcoal and its width and fit is so great that I believe it impedes air circulation to the point that temperature is difficult to raise above 250

This is the best smoker. Can use charcoal or a smoker tube depending on what you are smoking from chicken to cheese.

This is my first smoker and so far I am very pleased with the ease of use and the results! I have friends with the larger 22" and they also say the WSM is one of the best smokers of its kind. There are so many YouTube videos on this smoker that you can get up and smoking quickly with great confidence that the results will be delicious! Nice job, as usual, from Weber!
