You really can’t go wrong with any grill or smoker made by Weber, but their Smokey Mountain Cooker is particularly great. It was a winner in our wood and charcoal smokers review, thanks to four responsive dampers. It’s not a space hog, and you can choose from a few sizes—14, 18, and 22 inches. Plus, it comes with Weber’s outstanding warranty.
It’s a fundamental commandment of grill mastery that a clean grill is key to better grilling. This is an issue of both food safety and performance.
