I'm in Pork Heaven

Just used my new Weber Smokey Mountain for the first time this past weekend. Smoked two racks of ribs and a shoulder (Memphis style). Unbeleivably moist, tender and flavorful. The best thing about my new Weber is how much more evenly and consistently it smokes/cooks the meat. Before this, I had used a side firebox smoker, so there was always some difference in temp from one side of the smoker to the other. It was also much more difficult to maintain the temp. The vertical configuration of the Weber solved those problems, being much easier to maintain the temp at or around 225F.

The smoker is well constructed and solid. I do however agree with everyone else who has complained about the firebox door. It is nothing but a thin flimsy piece of aluminum. It seems odd considering how well contructed the remainder of the smoker is. I can't imagine what the folks at Weber were thinking...

Regardless, it is so easy to use, and cooks so well, I still give it 5 stars, highly recommended!

The best I've used

Ok, ok. I've only had two other smokers, a Brinkman and a custom-made, but this one is well made and easy to use. Features are excellent and I've had great results. Pricey, but I hear that customer support is wonderful from friends. I bought the 18.5 inch model but a 22.5 inch is available. Looking forward to many more succulent meals.

Smokey Mountain

I purchased this a Father's day gift for my husband and we haven't stopped smoking since! Set up took him no more then 15 minutes and we had our first ribs on it the next day. I read up on other grills and found that the important part of smokers is that they maintain a constant temperature (250-275 degrees). When we made our first ribs (three racks of baby backs fit nicely on the top grating) it took about 4 hours. Never once did I have to add water or wood. The temperature remained at 250 degrees for the entire four hours and I'm sure I had another 2 hours left on that fire. Needless to say they fell off the bone and were amazing. The kids came home for the weekend so we had three racks of ribs going on the top grill and 2 cut up chickens on the lower grill (which were easily added to the smoker a couple of hours after the ribs). The food all came off at the same time and again the results were moist and tender ribs and chicken. It truly is a "set it and forget it" meal.

Great Smoker

Good quality and very easy to use. I fill up the charcoal and water and usually go fishing for the day. Great for roast, small turkeys and ribs.

Better than Gas

My family and guests say the food that's slow cooked on the Weber bullet is fantastic. Maybe they're lying. Who knows? Whole turkeys and chickens, ribs, sausage, pork loin, salmon and steelhead that are patiently cooked (no peeking!) indirectly over coals and the wood of your choice, taste delicious. And the smell coming out of the top vents, I take hits off it.

The temperature holds steady for hours and I can use the leftover coals after I shut the vents down. It's carbon monoxide recycling. How cool! I agree with some of the reviewers about the flimsy door. So comes the makeshift route. I bent the door slightly to fit the curves of the bullet and I flattened and wedged some aluminum foil over the gaps and that works. Small complaints. Overall, it's solid.

Some advice. Check out the Virtual Weber Bullet website. Filled with fans and experts of the product. I was on that sight two months before I bought the smoker and I didn't even need to read the instructions on how to light it. I prefer the various lighting methods recommended on the sight. Great product. Cheers.
