Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker

Who does not love to cook and eat outdoors? The bar-b-q has become a fixture of most houses these days but now there is another option for creating great food outside. The Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker will add a new dimension to meal times at your house. It is designed to give your food that authentic smoked flavor without constant effort on your part.

One of the main advantages of this model over others on the market is the convenience. You can fire it up and leave it knowing that the heat will stay constant. Many smokers have badly fitting parts and a lack of vents which means that you have to stand over it to make sure the heat is at the right level. The Weber is well vented with three at the bottom and one on the lid, and is made from quality materials so that the temperature stays constant.

There are lots of cooking options for this smoker because you can leave it for long periods of time. You can have your ribs slowly smoking for hours and know they will not be burned or raw. One pan of charcoal can burn for up to fifteen hours, depending on the quality of the charcoal. Some fuels may burn for longer. Imagine how soft and tender a joint of brisket, for example will be after fifteen hours of the slowest cooking.

The smoker is made up of a bowl at the bottom for the fuel. On top of that is a water pan which protects the meat from the direct heat from the fuel and keeps the cooking environment moist. Then there are two grill sections for the meat and a domed lid. The addition of the water pan and the vents means that the smoker will cook on a low heat for a long time and your meat will be juicy.

The size of the smoker is impressive and you will be able to cook enough meat for a large party. The grills both have a diameter of eighteen inches. You can basically cook a good sized turkey in each section or even six chickens in one go. The overall size of the unit is forty one by nineteen inches so it can fit neatly in the corner of your deck.

Each part of the smoker is made from high quality materials. For example the vents, legs and access door are made from rust resistant aluminum designed for a long life. Every part of the cooker is resistant to erosion. The grills on which the meat cooks are triple nickel plated for easy cleaning.

The unit is easy to assemble and use. You may find that it takes some practice but the cooker comes with a manual and the company website has lots of information, advice and recipes. It also includes a ten year warranty on most of the parts.

You should try the Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker because it is the ultimate in slow cooking at home. The quality of the unit is obvious from a quick inspection so check it out at your nearest smoker retail store.
