The gold standard for backyard smoking. Low and slow, perfect results every time.
If you want to get into smoking meat, the Weber Smokey Mountain is where you start and probably where you stay. This charcoal smoker maintains temperature remarkably well — set it at 110°C and walk away for hours. The water pan keeps moisture in, and the two cooking grates give you plenty of room for brisket, ribs, and pulled pork simultaneously. It takes about 20 minutes to get up to temperature, and with the right charcoal setup (minion method), you can hold steady heat for 12+ hours. In Australian heat, it actually runs a bit hot, so you'll learn to use fewer coals than the manual suggests.
