We have a number of events and BBQ competitions coming up this summer and needed to increase our capacity to cook a lot of great BBQ! What is really amazing about the Smokey Mountain Cooker (we got two of the 22.5 inch models) is that it can hold 12 slabs of ribs, 4-8 pork shoulders, 3-6 briskets, and even 4 turkeys! I smoke a lot of BBQ on my Chargriller, but to be honest it takes a lot of work keeping it fired at the correct temperature. With the Smokey Mountain Cooker I can fire up a pile of lump charcoal and wood chunks in the bottom and come back 10-12 hours later and to a well maintained and perfect temperature – you can’t beat that.
We came to the decision to buy this particular smoker thanks to The Virtual Weber Bullet website. What a great website it is too – it’s really one of the best BBQ sites I have found. Thanks to the folks at The Virtual Weber Bullet site for helping us make a great decision – we’ll keep you posted on our smoking success! Be sure to follow the Pork Barrel BBQ website for more information on our products.

Man I love my 18" WSM, but that 22.5" does look sweet. I run a Stoker on my WSM to maintain constant temp, not to mention peace and harmony with my "other" love (AKA my fiance). She saw me checking the 22.5" out at Village Hardware in Alexandria on Sunday, so she probably won't be surprised if one somehow appears on the patio one day. Two questions: you guys ever use pecan wood? Village Hardware says they can't get pecan wood chunks, and I'm trying to find a local source as opposed to going on the web and ordering online. Also, do you have a good source for whole "packer" briskets? I'm buying mine at El Grande Supermercado in Springfield, but it's always nice to have another source for comparison purposes.
Thanks and nice job on the pork shoulkder and sauce at DC BBQ battle.
going to buy the Smokey Mountain Cooker – i have been smoking for a while using a side smoker – definitely alot of work keeping the
grill at the correct temperature. I currently use lump charcoal – any thing i need to know with using this with the WSM. Thanks
