The smoke house was a fixture on the American farm for hundreds of years. There were two reasons for its being a staple of farm life of the period, first and foremost there was no refrigeration and sausages and meat cured with smoke, salt and sugar does not need refrigeration. The second reason smoke flavored meat has a wonderful taste. You can get that taste at home.

I’ve been using the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker for a few weeks now, and I decided to write a review for people considering buying one. Smoked foods have become so popular that a lot of folks are looking for ways to make them at home. Here are some of the things I’ve discovered about my Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 18.5-Inch Smoker .

I like the taste of smokehouse flavor of foods like pulled pork and smoked turkey but I don’t like paying restaurant prices for them, the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker makes it easy for you to duplicate the same tasty foods right at home. It is incredibly spacious inside, allowing you to cook a whole turkey or ham, which makes it a great thing to have for large gatherings. The meats come out tender and juicy because of the steel water pan that comes with it, so while it smokes the meat, it steams it, too.

Another thing I love about the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker is that the handle on the lid does not heat up with the grill, making it cool to the touch when I need to check the meat. I can also check the internal temperature of the meats at any time using the handy thermometer that comes with this smoker. This little baby also packs a 10-year warranty.

If you are looking for a way to smoke meats at home for a small few or a large crowd, the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker is the smoker for the job. It not only smokes, but also steams. I personally have found that this smoker fit the bill and was just what I was looking for: a quality home smoker with a strong warranty behind it. You also always know the meat is safely cooked to the right internal temperature by using the handy thermometer that comes with it.

10-Year Warranty, Large Capacity, and Smokehouse Flavor Come With Every Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker. If you happened to have owned one of the other smokers on the market for a year or two you can appreciate this warranty.
