Weber 18" Black Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker - 721001

Smokehouse Flavor From Home: The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker

Have you ever bitten into something you've cooked on the grill and marveled at how dry it was? Tenderloin, turkeys, hams, and even chicken can easily dry out on the grill, and with no source for moisture, your dinner can end up bone-dry and low on flavor. But any fan of the smoker will tell you that proper flavor takes patience, and that's why Weber crafted the economical, easy-to-use Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. The water smoker is designed for flavorful smoking and grilling, and features two separate cooking areas—one closer to the charcoal at the bottom, and another higher up near the device's lid. And unlike traditional liquid propane or natural gas grills, the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker is powered by good old-fashioned charcoal for that smoke-filled flavor we all crave. There are no high-tech gadgets or shortcuts; you'll only find solid craftsmanship and high-quality cooking methods within this full-length smoker.

Smoke Your Favorites

Whether it's your first or 500th time smoking your favorite recipes, trust that the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker will do it right (with a little help from you). Set up is easy, and once you've got your charcoal lit, taking it low and slow feels natural. You can monitor your temperature from the lid's built-in thermometer and adjust the heat by using the three vents (more airflow for higher heat, and less airflow for lower temperatures). Make sure you don't close all the vents, as that will give that smoke nowhere to go. It's important to maintain a constant temperature and humidity throughout the cooking process. While smoking is much more hands-off than a quick grilling session, you'll still want to keep an eye on your Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. Add charcoal and water as needed via the spring-loaded door, and make sure you keep an eye on your grill's thermometer. Check out Weber's grill tools and gadgets—many of these like the chimney charcoal starter and fuel holder can help to get the charcoal burning quickly, while smart thermometers can keep an eye on your foods while you relax.

Construction

The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker is designed to cook at low temperatures, but was fired at high heat. The porcelain-enameled coating is baked on at 1500°F, fusing the finish to steel and preventing rust-through or burn-off damage for years to come. The three-part construction makes assembling, cleaning, and transporting the Smokey Mountain Cooker simple, too, with each piece designed to fit seamlessly and trap heat, smoke, and steam. Clean up is quick and easy with the bottom ash pan. With a professional-grade smoker at prices only Abt can offer, your outdoor cooking experience will never be the same.

Features

• Superior Heat Retention
  The porcelain-enameled lid and bowl retain heat for consistent temperature and even cooking. The finish also prevents rusting, cracking, and peeling while withstanding high grilling temps.
• Precise Heat Control
  Control the temperature of your smoker by easily adjusting the dampers. Closing the dampers completely will cut the oxygen flow to help extinguish coals.
• Extra Smoking Capacity
  The two cooking grates provide ample room for smoking multiple large items, such as a turkey and two layers of ribs, at once.
• Lid Thermometer
  The built-in lid thermometer displays the internal temperature of your grill so that you know when to adjust the heat.
• Helps Control Temperature
  The water pan helps regulate temperature inside of the smoker and adds moisture to the heat.
• Consolidates Fuel For Efficient Burning
  The charcoal chamber holds fuel together so that it burns efficiently. It also prevents ash from falling into the dampers.
