Everyone associates the name Weber with grills and smokers. I shopped a while before making a selection on a smoker for our lake house, and after some deliberation ended up with the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain model. It is everything and more that you could ever ask for in a smoker.
Some of the things I like about the Weber 721001 are:
* you can use charcoal for a more realistic smoked flavor
* the smoker's large capacity accommodates large turkeys or hams
* the cooking grates are 18-1/2" and are made of nickel
* the bowl and lid are individually vented
* the handle is heat resistant nylon to avoid excessive heat on the handle
* it comes with a built in thermometer
* it has a water pan for meat smoking
The smoker is not a cumbersome piece of equipment to lug around, either. It only weighs around 50 pounds, and this smoker is affordably priced so even those with a modest budget can afford to enjoy flavorful smoked foods on a regular basis.
I also own a Weber barbecue grill, so I can vouch for their name being one of the best in the business. They stand behind their products with a good sound warranty. The Weber 721001 comes with a 10-year labor and parts warranty, so I am covered with this smoker.
The Weber 721001 is very easy to use, so even those with no experience at all can be enjoying smoked meats in record time. This is one of the best-made smokers I have ever seen, and I can't see how any commercial smoker would be any better than this one.
If you are in the market for a smoker for your home or cabin, I highly recommend the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker. Once you get yours, you'll be chomping at the bit to get some meat on those grates, and sit back in your easy chair and sip your coffee and enjoy the flavorful smell of smoked meat and fish floating across the breeze. Life just doesn't get any better than that. I can just see my dad, sitting in his chair, sipping his own brewed coffee, and enjoying his homemade smoker. Mine may not be homemade, but I still get the same pleasure now from meat smoking that I got then. |
