Weber-Stephen Products Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker 2820

Pros: Good quality for the money, excellent power

Cons: No thermometer, easily scratched (so keep it out of the way)

Review: I like compactness, and this grill is surely compact. It is almost literally unnoticeable in the corner of my backyard. It has a very nice and shiny black color. The best part about this is that dirt and dust is not easily visible. However, the...

Pros: Easy temperature control for 6 hours. Pink smoke ring and best ribs to date.

Cons: Wish the water pan was slightly bigger, but can upgrage through Brinkman.

Review: I just received the Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker wanted a more authentic tasting BBQ! There is a web site virtualweberbullet.com with a bunch of reciepes and tips for easy use. I wanted to add my 2 cents because you don't see very many.

Pros: High quality and easy to use.

Cons: A built in thermometer would be good. Water pan is a bit wimpy.

The Bottom Line: Smoking food takes a lot of time, but it's fun, and the food is great. If you're going to smoke, buy a Weber Bullet.

Review: If you re checking out smoker reviews, then you re likely thinking about buying your first smoker or replacing a low end model. You re at the right spot here at Epinions and considering the right smoker if you have your eye on the Weber Smokey...

Pros: Superb temperature achievement and control. Very "Weber" design. Overall ease of use.

Cons: No Thermometer, Water pan is small. No good way to remove ash while running.

Review: For Christmas last year, my loving wife purchased a smoker for me. It was a sweet gesture, and much appreciated; however, the Brand "X" smoker simply didn't meet the expectations. I couldn't achieve (let alone maintain) temperature. Needless to say,...

Pros: Durable, easy assembly, high capacity, ease of use, free cover.

Cons: Uses a lot of charcoal!

Review: Don't skimp and buy a cheaper smoker. Weber knows their way around the fine art of cooking meat. This is a quality product that'll last for years. It's easy to use due to the superior design; the fire always settles down to the right temperature and...

Pros: Weber quality, ease of use, excellent temperature control, portable, moderately priced

Cons: Limited capacity to cook for very large groups, catering, etc.

Pros: Good quality product, best smoker for the money.

Cons: Flimsy design on side door, no thermometer.

Review: Be prepared for some serious neighbor envy with the Weber Smoky Mountain (WSM) 2820. The smells and tastes produced by this smoking machine are wonderful! The WSM is a bit pricey, but well worth the money. The WSM is ready for smoking right out of...

Pros: Most foolproof smoker on the market. Holds temperature as steady as an oven!

Cons: Limited area for meat, shallow waterpan

The Bottom Line: Most fool proof, easy to use smoker available

Review: I purchased my WSM about 8 months ago, and I literally have only missed only about 5 weekends worth of smoking since I bought it. I have smoked so much meat, my WSM hardly has a chance to cool off before I'm lighting it up again.

The WSM...

Pros: Sturdy steel body.

Cons: Feed door isn't tight to the smoker. Flimsy vents. Liquid pan is tippy.

The Bottom Line: I think I got a dud, Weber is usually much better than this. While it works the attached pieces (door and vents) are flimsy & leaky.

Review: Reading the rave reviews here I must say that I think I got a reject. I actually had to double check my grill to make sure that it's a Weber and not just a look alike. Well, it is a Weber and without actually being able to verify that a few things...
