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

This is one sweet little smoker:
I have looked for a smoker for some time, ruling out the Weber because of its price. Then my wife suprised me with the Weber 2820 for my birthday. Set up and assemby takes about 5 minutes. The shell of the smoker is a heavy guage enameled steel. The racks are sturdy and heavy guage steel also. One caveat, I normally use a gas bbq so haven't purchased charcoal for some time. Without much thought I picked up a bag of 'matchlight' type of charcoal. The manual does warn about not using lighter fluid.... more info
Very Good Smoker & Holds Temp Perfectly:
I've never smoked before and since getting this 2 weeks ago, have smoked a ham and pork ribs. I watched how to prepare the meats and use the WSM at virtualweberbullet.com. The Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker is just awesome. I was really surprised how it holds the temperature so well. I was able to cook the ribs for 4 hours and have the temp hold around 225 degrees by adjusting the 3 vents at the bottom. Use a little Apple Wood and it will give some great flavor to the meats. I also suggest getting a wireless... more info
Very pleased with the Smokey Mountain Cooker:
I finally had the chance to use my new WSM cooker this last weekend. I cooked pork spare ribs for about 4-4.5 hours. I was surprised at how good the ribs tasted. I cooked 3 full slabs of ribs and everyone was impressed with the results. I had done quite a bit of research prior to using it for the first time, and it paid off. One note: When I received my WSM, the packaging was in great shape. However, the first time I put it together I could tell the middle section was out of round (as other reviewers... more info
I really just want one. UPDATE:
UPDATE - 8/19/08 Ok, as promised, I am amending my review... Weber did send me the new bottom bowl "hand picked" from the assembly line. Incredibly, the ring has a slight marred mark on it along the same lines as the last three! - not bad enough to be out of round, so it fits snug in the middle cylinder, so I am keeping it and moving on... There is CLEARLY a manufacturing issue here!! Now to the good part... I put the new smoker to the test yesterday. LOADED it with 4 full racks of baby back ribs... more info
