Do it for the love of classic barbecue. For tender meat falling off the bone and the first savory bite that makes taking it low- and-slow, in your Smokey Mountain Cooker smoker, worth every moment.
One excellent smoker. I followed one of the posts in the reviews about seasoning the BBQ before using and it worked very well. It does tend to leak from the door, but I did follow the advice about bending it carefully into place. I didn't use the gasket kit but have been smoking ribs, pork butt, etc. & the leaks are becoming less every time I use it. I figure by the end of the BBQ season it should be fairly well sealed up. Even with the leaks I am able to maintain proper temperature for hours by manipulating only the bottom vents & keeping the top vent wide open. Came within a couple of days well ahead of the promised delivery date.
Very easy to put together & the size is perfect for simple home cooking. We usually don't entertain for a large crowd, so this is the perfect sized grill for us. I also own a Weber Genesis (gas) for everyday use & it is as good as the day I bought it 4 years ago. I figure with this Weber smoker will last easily as long. Excellent quality for the price. I would highly recommend this smoker for anyone considering it.
I've had it for about a month now and cooked on it like 7 or 8 times already. Very easy to setup and easy to keep temps low for slow and low cooks. Cannot eat ribs anywhere else now because mine are better! If you're hesitant about not having enough space on this, don't worry there is tons of room and it's not hard on charcoal. You will never regret buying this smoker.
