Weber has done it once again with this versatile smoker designed for the novice, but versatile enough for the top competition pit masters. The 22.5 model is large with 726 square inches of cooking area, allowing you to smoke for the whole family in one sitting.

I've had the 14" / 36cm WSM for many years, and while loved smoking meats with it, I always felt a bit cramped for space. The 18" / 47cm unit is perfect for me ... a full rack of ribs fits nicely without having to cut the rack in half, and I no longer have to be concerned with whether the temp probe...

The WSM 22” is like the rest of the Weber smoker line up — effective, intelligently designed and easy to use — but the 22” Size is a pro upgrade allowing you more space, for smoking and in the charcoal chamber where you can much more easily maintain the quality of you cook by more easily adding...

After having friends and family getting into smoking ribs and briskets, I decided I wanted to get a smoker. I have had great experiences with Weber charcoal and gas grills so I knew I had get a Weber charcoal smoker. I have not been disappointed.

I cook Bar-B-Que on my smoker and nothing adds flavor like this Weber. If used right it dosen't burn your food. Great way to slow cook and add flavor. Very well made as always with Weber products. Needs handles on the middle section.

  Adds Flavor, Durable, Works Efficiently

Excellent at retaining heat during several hours of smoking. Easy to adjust temp by opening and closing vents. Easy to clean and put together and provides good rack space for multiple items at once. Negatives would be that vents sometimes get very sticky during cooking and can be difficult to move.

  This is a little bit on the expensive side.

I bought this recently and am enjoying learning the basics of smoking. My most recent conquest was a 12 pound turkey and it was amazing! This smoker is easy to use and you can cook a lot at one time on the two racks. The door is a little flimsy and think it would be better if it was on a hinge.

So glad I bought the Weber Smoky Mountain. I was a little apprehensive about how it would perform because I’m used to a vertical propane smoker. It’s on a whole different level with how it holds in heat and gets consistent smoke. The bark on my pork butts and briskets are much more impressive now.

Being new to using a smoker, I did a good bit of research and kept coming back to this Weber model as a good "bang for my buck." At this time, I've only used it once but it really was simple to use and had fantastic results. I can't wait to dedicate more time to using the smoker this summer.
