Weber WBR0038P Smoker Mountain Cooker 57cm Nero

I’m going to try my first smoked pork butt tomorrow Feb. 13, 2025

My original and still my favorite. The WSM has been my foundation for learning to smoke Low & Slow. I’ve made mistakes, but the WSM is forgiving and flexible. Quality construction and superb customer service.

It's easy to use and maintain temps. I had to reshape the lid and barrel just to get them to fit together. Doing that also made some of the ceramic paint break off. Definitely overpriced for what it is, spending almost 600 dollars on something this poorly built is not good. I dont recommend buying this.

This smoker replaces an older one (>15 years) that rusted out. The 18" Weber is larger than my old one, but I plan to smoke full sized briskets and needed the larger size. Assembly of the legs to the charcoal pan required some modification and balancing act, but the remainder was easy. Inserting the rubber gasket for temperature probes was a problem and the gasket tore - but was replaced by Weber quickly. So far, I have only smoked chicken wings and they came out perfect. The guide regarding recommended charcoal briquettes was very helpful. Temperature was steady at 250 degrees and the wings were delicious. Can't wait to try it out with a brisket.

Excellent! Took two cooks to get the hang of it but makes a smoking rookie feel like a pro. In hindsight I should’ve bought the bigger one because of increased demand since the food turns out so good. Turkey, chicken and ribs have been elevated; going to do brisket once the Canadian winter subsides. Highly recommended for novice users who want to get into the smoking game.
