Amazon.com Review
There's nothing better than slow-cooked barbecue. And, there's no better way to get authentic smokehouse flavor at home than with the Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker. Perfect for large gatherings, it's easy to cook a whole turkey and an entire ham at the same time in this roomy charcoal smoker. So there's no need to plunge straight into ham prep when you still haven't recovered from baking the turkey. Made of premium-grade steel, the smoker has two, triple-nickel-plated cooking grates measuring 18-1/2 inches in diameter-plenty of room for larger birds. Individual vents on the bowl and lid offer optimal air-flow control for tender meats and longer-burning charcoal. Rust-resistant aluminum vents and an aluminum fuel door ensure years of clean use. The bowl and lid are coated with porcelain enamel for optimal corrosion resistance. And, a porcelain-enameled water pan adds steam to the cooking process, so meats stay moist and juicy. Maintenance-free, glass-reinforced, nylon handles withstand the elements for the life of this innovative charcoal grill. The Smoky Mountain measures 41 by 19 by 19 inches, and rests easily on a park bench or patio. The purchase includes a Weber cookbook, a heavy-duty vinyl cover, and is covered by a 10-year limited warranty. --Brian Olson

 Making great pulled pork with this December 2, 2008
Have had this for awhile now and it is one of the best purchases I ever made. Did quite a bit of research before purchasing this one and do not regret it.
Make sure you check that everything fits correctly when you first get it and that it is not out of round. You need a the parts to fit good without too many leaks for good temp control.
Mostly I have been making pulled pork lately, pick up the meat for around 1.70 a pound and it is very economical. The pork just falls apart and is very juicy.
Keep in mind you may have to break it in some before you can get the temps to stay low enough.
I have become very popular with the neighbors and friends now, HA.
Only problem I have at this time is finding the smoke wood, most places just sell hickory, tough to find the big hunks of oak, apple, etc.
Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker November 23, 2008
I used this in Vietnam, where the local butcher, Hang Kau Pung, asked me to use my gas grille for his yak. After butchering it, we used the grille to smoke it and had a problem when the ribs did not fit on the Weber 3601 Rib Rack. I had 5 Weber Rib Racks so they were useless and we had to put the cooked meat on the fly dirty ground near treated sewer water. I suppose if you are using pig Ribs they fit but be weary of larger meat animals.

I can't add anything new to what has already been said about this product. I've used it only three times so far. This smoker can turn anyone into a star backyard chef. I roasted a chicken this evening in it and I have to say it was probably the best chicken that I ever had. I also smoked a rack of baby back ribs a couple of weeks ago. They came out great! It is pretty hard to mess anything up with this smoker. It is worth the extra expense for this smoker over the similar but inferior made brinkmans. This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for. No regrets what so ever on this purchase. Go to virtualweberbullet site for a lot of great info.
The Only Smoker You Will Ever Need November 5, 2008
You cannot go wrong with this. It is THE ultimate water smoker. Even someone like me who had absolutely no expertise in smoking became an expert in this venerable art after a few tries on this wondrous device.
This smoker is solidly built. Retains heat very well. The 'controls' (we are not talking about electronic gizmos) are very basic and well designed. Here are the controls: water bowl, charcoal canister, vents (three at the bottom, one at the top), and the lid. With these and a little bit of patience (you will need it to slow cook for 12 to 18 hours), you can control the temperature and moisture inside the cooker to you desire. The only thing missing is a thermometer built into the lid. However, a bit of ingenuity can solve this easily.
The Users Manual is one of the worst I have seen. You might as well toss it and search the net for good information on how to use and customize this smoker. Here is a very good website: [.....].
I waited more than a year to complete this review. Yes, I still think it is that good.
 Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Smoker October 28, 2008
I've only had the chance to use this smoker once since I purchased it. It performed as expected and the ribs were delicious. The smoker seems to be well made and I think it was a good buy. I do wish Weber had put a temperature gauge in the lid. I would have gladly paid a little more for a smoker with the temperature gauge built in instead of having to come up with something myself.
