Key Features

Two separate cooking areas for versatility
  • Easy access aluminum door for easily adding fuel while cooking
  • Adjustable vents for controlling air flow and temperature
  • Includes a cover for protecting your smoker from the elements
  • Smoke any meat from pork to a full-sized turkey
For the moistest, juiciest cuts of meat, sometimes low and slow is the way to go. The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker features two 17-1/2 inch diameter steel-plated cooking grates ideal for smoking everything from pork to chicken to a full-sized turkey. A rust-resistant aluminum fuel door allows you to adjust or add charcoal while cooking and the adjustable airflow vent allows for controlling the temperature. The silicone thermometer probe grommet lets you monitor your food temperature without losing any heat. A porcelain-enameled water pan adds steam to the smoking process so meat stays moist and tender. The smoker is constructed of premium-grade steel coated with porcelain enamel inside and out. Also included is a cover to protect your smoker while not in use.

Great cooker.

Love the SM cooker. I made an awesome Boston Butt the first time I used it. Maintained a great smoking temp of 225 degrees for several hours. The water bath helped to keep the meat from drying out.

A perfect choice

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

Great Smoker

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.

Great smoker

Easy to use, consistent temperature, great results. Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Just wish the door was better molded to the shape of the rest of the body

WSM 18" Cooker

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.

Absolutely YES!

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!

Great Brisket -- Some assembly challenges

I think you should probably do a focus group for assembly with the instructions and no further help. These need embellishment. I was only able to do after viewing non Weber youtubes. The seems flimsy. Those the negatives. But I made the best brisket I ever ate on the first try. So 4 stars/

Expert Review

The Skinny:

  • Available in three sizes
  • Separate cooking areas for versatility
  • Can smoke a full-sized turkey
  • Includes a protective cover

Things We Love:

Weber revolutionized the grill game in 1952 with the invention of the charcoal kettle, and it hasn’t stopped innovating since. The company eventually tried its hand at slow-cooking a thing or two, resulting in a line of smokers as sleek as they are effective. After years of refining, Weber now offers its Smokey Mountain Cookers in three distinct sizes that fit the BBQ habits of just about anyone. Whether you like to make your backyard smoking central or grill on the go, there’s a Weber Smokey Mountain model for you.

Different Size Options to Fit Your Needs:

Heavy-duty smokers should take a hard look at the 22-inch Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, which offers 726 square inches of cooking area for when you host the family BBQ. You can trust the 18-inch model to handle standard workloads, while the 14-inch Smokey Mountain Cooker is small enough to come along for the ride on your next outdoor adventure. But that’s where the differences between these charcoal smokers end.

Exceptional Features from Weber:

No matter the size, each Weber Smokey Mountain unit can cook a full-sized turkey and comes with great features designed to enhance your smoking experience. They have two separate, steel-plated cooking grates that allow you to satisfy your guests by smoking multiple foods at once, along with a Weber water smoker to add moisture. Premium-grade, steel-coated porcelain enamel is used to build both the inside and outside of these vertical smokers, which receive added durability thanks to their rust-resistant aluminum fuel doors. Even with this sturdy construction, you should still take advantage of the included cover to shield your smoker from the elements.

Oh, and did we mention that Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers are easy to use? The fuel door lets you add charcoal without interrupting the cooking process, and temperature adjustment is simple with Weber’s airflow vents. Straightforward smoking, just the way we like it!

Things to Consider:

Though these Weber smokers get the job done when it comes to cooking meats, they don’t include all the bells and whistles typically found in the pricier smokers on the market today. You can, however, use Smokey Mountain Cookers like a traditional grill. Feel free to call our BBQ experts at 1-877-743-2269 if you have any more questions about Weber smokers!

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
