Smokey Flavor， Rehydrated: The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker

Infuse your low-and-slow meals with extra-smoky flavor with a little help from the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. While it may look a little like a spaceship， this water smoker keeps things down to earth with durable construction built for long-haul smoke jobs. Those familiar with grills and smokers (or even cooking with a stove) know that cooking isn't just a delicate balance of flavors; its a balance of moisture and texture. And in the process of traditional smoking， foods can end up a little (or a lot) too dry， with blame assigned to high smoking temperatures and improper grilling methods. That's why Weber created their signature water smoker， the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. Water smoking helps to keep the food cooking low and slow without dehydrating it. Easy to operate and beloved by professional cookers， these bullet-shaped smokers can keep food moist even after 8-10 hours of cooking. Smoke large hams， chickens， brisket， even whole turkeys on the cooker's grates. When it's time to pull your dinner from the fire， you'll be greeted with flavorful aromas and well-finished foods.

How It Works

The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker comes in a few different sizes， with this 14" model the smallest one. But with two grates stacked on top of each other， your grilling space is actually doubled to 28". Cook multiple meats at once for weekly meal prep， or cook for large gatherings and invite friends over (pro tip: place leaner proteins on the bottom grate， and fattier ones above. That way， lean foods will baste in falling fats from above). Whatever you're cooking， make sure you have all the gear you need at the ready， from grilling utensils like tongs to extra wood chunks and charcoal. Water smokers are popular in part because of their ease of use. You may need a chimney starter to get your charcoal going， but all you'll really need to do is come back to add extra charcoal， wood chunks， and water every hour or so. Check the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker's built-in thermometer often to keep an eye on your food's temperature， and adjust the dampers to increase airflow (and heat) if necessary. Once dinner's finished， don't forget about cleanup. Weber's One-Touch ash removing cleanup system makes cleanup a breeze; just push the level to remove any ash from the bowl. And don't forget to use a grill brush on both the upper and lower grill grates to keep your cooker working like new.

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.
