Testimonial from Tommy Jaynes:
I purchased the new 22″ Weber Smokey Mountain a little over a month ago and have had several great smokes out of it already. The unit is fantastic, just like the 18″, but so much bigger! I was able to cook 4 slabs of ribs (rolled) 2 pork loins (10 pounds) and 2 pork shoulders (20 pounds) all at once with tons of room for more. The unit held at around 230 for 16 hours on one fill of charcoal with very minimal effort on my part. I have been extremely impressed with the WSM and wish I had more time to smoke!

Product review by Dwain Gleason:
The new Weber Smokey Mountain bullet smoker is fantastic. It’s just as easy to use as the previous 18″ model, but with some great improvements. The extra 4 inches of cooking space doesn’t sound like too much, but if you do the math it actually gives you half again as much area to cook on as the 18″ model. The built-in thermometer is a great touch, it’s very well made and seems to be very accurate. The extra handle on the lid makes it easier to get the lid off and on, as it’s heavier than the previous model. The larger access door on the front makes it easy to get to both the charcoal ring and the water pan, and the notches in the bottom door make it so you can leave the door open without having to take it off of the unit – a small but very welcome feature! The unit is as tight as a drum, and held its temperature for an overnight brisket cook terrifically – right at 240 degrees for over eight hours with only a peek from me every few hours to check on the water pan. I’d say Weber has done it again with a terrific smoker, and I plan to be firing this thing up almost every weekend for both home and contest use.
