Overview
Model 721001 is Weber's 18.5-inch Smokey Mountain Cooker, a charcoal smoker in porcelain-enameled steel with two nickel-plated grates, a water pan and individually adjustable vents for temperature control.
Either size uses the same low-and-slow charcoal method with a water pan for steady humidity.
- Two 18.5-inch nickel-plated cooking grates
- Porcelain-enameled steel bowl and lid
- Water pan for steady low and slow heat
- Individual dampers on bowl and lid for temperature control
Who it's for
First-time smoker buyers moving up from a kettle grill, and anyone wanting to smoke a whole turkey and a ham in the same session on the 18.5-inch grates, are the target. It suits charcoal loyalists more than anyone wanting a set and forget electric or pellet unit.
