Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker

Great temperature control. Have to work hard to get the temperature in the grill too high for good BBQ.

Highly recommended.

I just completed my second summer with my WSM and I LOVE IT!!!
This is the second smoker I've owned and it proves the old saying:
Buy the best first and only cry once... I wish I would've listened.

I have been reading about the WSM for the past year and couldn't decide whether or not to get one. Finally got one and it is even better than I thought. If you are unsure about buying one, do it now. My wife wasn't thrilled about the price, but after some chicken and ribs she is a believer.

I had a Charbroil smoker for 4 years before my wife bought me the Weber smoker. The longest I could go with the Charbroil was about an hour before I had to mess with the coals, open the door, etc and was becoming a hassle to cook things for a long period of time. It is extremely difficult to keep heat regulated in it. That being said I did cook some great food on it. The first time I used my Weber smoker it kept a consistent temperature for 5.5 hours straight. I did turn the vents a couple of times to reduce or increase the heat but now that I know what to do I've gotten better at keeping things steady and letting it go. Turning those vents even a little bit makes the heat rise or fall a lot so be careful! The last time I spent the afternoon swimming for 2.5 hours, came home and it was still fine.

Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/SmokerWeber smoker is one of the finest smokers on the market, I have enjoyed this product and the results are exactly what I expected. Weber quality shows through on the construction and does what it is designed to do.
