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.

Have only used once since purchase but easy to use, easy to light and keep heat at right temperature. Great results on the ribs I smoked. Put wheels on it to make it easy to move around. Sealed up tight and did not have much smoke leakage. Very pleased with it over my old electric smoker.

Great Smoker!

I've used the 18" smoker for years and am using the 22" now for the first time. I love the larger capacity. Another great product from Weber! BTW: Weber customer service is fantastic!

Fantastic Smoker

This thing is fabulous. I switched from an offset smoker, and with the dual racks, and large water pan, I'm getting consistent and even better results than I was before. I purchased this specifically to compete in a pork ribs contest, and I took 2nd (no fault of the smoker). With the 10 year warrantee, I look forward to using this much, much longer than my offset that rusted out after 5 years. Thanks, Weber, for making this smoker great!

Smoker WSM 22 inch 101

I recently purchased the WSM 22-inch smoker, All in all it's a good smoker, however I found it to cook around 300-315 F with no water in water pan using lump charcoal. You will have to close down air intakes quite a bit to lower temperature to around 275 F and wait for smoker temperature to come down. I also recommend that you purchase an aftermarket door gasket kit to prevent smoke residue from coming out around access door and staining outer edges of main cooking chamber. I also purchased a stainless hinge for the dome lid, which makes life a lot easier to baste meats while cooking.

I loved my Smoky Mountain! Even the beginner can easily learn and build their skills on this smoker. So easy to use and maintain. I will miss mine as I lost it from a tree falling on it while camping Sep 20,2025 at Argyle lake State Park in Colchester, IL My wife and I are blessed to have not been seriously injured or worse. So thankful! I will buy another Smoky mountain when we are able.

It's wonderful! I have 5 Weber grills. 2 18" wsm. But had a real problem getting briskets to fit. So finally got a 22" wsm and My first cook was an 11lb prime brisket had room to spare. It was great! Love it

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!

Questions & Answers

Question:
do you have to have the water bowl in when smokingWas This Helpful?
Answers:

Hello. It is recommended to always use the water pan. The smoker will still function without it, but you will be exposing your meat to direct heat.

Asked by Myrna | Answered by Joey, BBQGuys Expert

The smoker will run warmer with no water.

Asked by Myrna | Answered by stevegarchow484

I use the water bowl with water as that is what is recommended by the manufacturer. I know many people fill the bowl with sand rather than water. It's my own thought that the water bowl's primary purpose is to diffuse the heat. In that regard, I think you should always use the bowl.

Question:
If i spatchcock my turkey, will it still fit in the 18 inch?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hello. It would depend on the size of the turkey. The cooking surface is 17.5 inches in diameter, so it would have to fit in that area.

Asked by Just me | Answered by Joey
Question:
Willnthis 18 inch smoker be big enough for 2 racks of ribs?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi, Jeff. Two full racks would be too long, but if you cut them into four half-racks, you'll be good to go!

Asked by Jeff | Answered by Seth
Question:
Can the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker be used solely as a charcoal grill cooker satisfactorily?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Great question, Norm! We don't recommend that because it's not designed to get to higher temperatures.

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.
