Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker

Prior to buying the Smokey Mountain smoker, I had owned several water smokers - mostly the two piece Brinkmans - the ones with the separate charcoal pan. I wore them out around every 2 years, but they are relatively cheap, so I would just replace them. This year I decided to get something a little more durable and one that would offer more temperature control. I wanted to buy an egg, but they are a little too expensive. During research, I ran across the Virtual Weber Bullet site, and being a Weber fan, I took a look and decided to get the Weber smoker (not readily available in stores - I had never seen it before). Well, it has turned out to be a beautiful purchase. I have used it to grill steaks and chicken, but the best part is that I used it to smoke some pork butts and a couple of racks of ribs (separate smoking sessions), and it works better than any smoker I have ever owned. The temperature control is great; the smoker itself is a heavy gauge steel and looks like it will hold up well. I would recommend this to any serious bar b que fanatic. A bonus - since buying it, I have noticed that a lot of competition bar b que-ers use it - I catch glimpses of it on all of the competitions shown on various TV networks! I am smoking with the big dogs now!!! The Weber is a little pricey - almost 200 bucks - but seems to be a good buy.

The product is up to Weber's quality. I am pleased with it. It did come with a dent from shipping. It seemd to take a while to get here also. That is why I didn't send it back for exchange. Weber's product = A1; Amazon and/or shipper = not so pleased.

My husband loves this smoker. We have always been a fan of the weber kettle and weber products so the kids and I purchsed the smoker for him for Father's Day and he could not be happier. Among other things he has been most impressed with how it holds the temperature. We saw the instructional video online and also think that is an asset to sell this product.

I've been BBQing for many years and have owned many grills and smokers. The Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker is by far the best. It's very easy to use and requires very little baby sitting. Just get one!

If you are looking for a smoker, spend the money and buy This One! You will be BBQ ing like a pro in NO TIME. REAL Q, really! At least after checking out the <[...]> sight.
