    Pros: sturdy top and bottom
    Cons: flimsy door, legs, repeated poor build quality

    Summary: The smoker arrived with the central section (the chimney) being defective. The porcelain flakes off at the corner of the rectangular opening for the door. The door does not fit the opening at all and there is a large gap when it is closed. Weber ... read more

    Pros: Great and easy to use.
    Cons: Not great for grilling.

    Summary: I call my Weber smoker, R2 since it looks like the character from Star Wars. First of all, I'd like to point out that I have 7 barbecue units. 5 are charcoal grills and 2 are small propane units. I love grilling and barbecuing (aka smoking). Before ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 8, 2007
    Pros: Large food capacity, heavy-duty Weber construction, highly efficient fire box design.
    Cons: No built-in thermometer. Runs much hotter than other smokers unless air inlets are restricted.

    Summary: I got turned on to back yard stovepipe water smokers over 25 years ago while living in the Southwest. Working and playing with a group of accomplished cooks and outdoor enthusiasts, I was introduced to the delicious joys of smoked meat at home. For many ... read more

  • Ex-Smoker... Smoking Again

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 20, 2006
    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.

    Summary: 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, I ... read more

    Pros: Excellent overall construction, ability to hold heat for long periods, made by Weber.
    Cons: Water pan difficult to use, no work surface, no built-in thermometer.

    Summary: I got my Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker (WSM) about a month ago from Dickson Supply (http://www.dicksonsupply.com) . This is the third Weber product that I own, and I am a customer for life. After I bought my first Weber, a Smokey Joe, I sent in my ... read more

  • I think I got the reject

    Jul 6, 2004
    Pros: Sturdy steel body.
    Cons: Feed door isn't tight to the smoker. Flimsy vents. Liquid pan is tippy.

    Summary: 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 have ... read more

  • Can't be without my WSM

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 7, 2002
    Pros: Most foolproof smoker on the market. Holds temperature as steady as an oven!
    Cons: Limited area for meat, shallow waterpan

    Summary: 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 is ... read more

    Pros: Excellent quality - Durable - Worth the price
    Cons: Only comes in black.

    Pros: Good value Lightweight Sturdy good temp control = good BBQ No Modifications needed
    Cons: Not easy to move Hard to get to temp in winter

    Summary: This smoker is the very best of the water smokers. I have had mine for a little over a year now, and am happy with it. I consider it a great "starter" pit, but for many users there will never be a need to progress beyond it. It gives you much ... read more

    Cons: Easy for your neighbor to steal

    Summary: In the world of backyard patios, there are many types of cooking mechanisms. From the basic kettle to the built-in natural gas grill with side-burners and infra-red rotisseries. These are the tools of the 'griller'. The grill is pre-heated, the food ... read more

    Pros: Good quality for the money, excellent power
    Cons: No thermometer, easily scratched (so keep it out of the way)

    Summary: 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 shininess

    Pros: Good quality product, best smoker for the money.
    Cons: Flimsy design on side door, no thermometer.

    Summary: 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 the

    Mar 21, 2005
    Pros: Well built, easy to use, great value.
    Cons: More expensive than other uprights.

    Summary: This is really the easiest smoker I have seen. I realize that it costs a lot more than the ones at Home Depot, but it maintains temperature like a champ. It is easy for anyone who can start a charcoal fire to maintain a 200 - 250 degree temperature for

    Pros: Durable, easy assembly, high capacity, ease of use, free cover.
    Cons: Uses a lot of charcoal!
