Our take on the Weber Smokey Mountain 18”

The Weber Smokey Mountain 18-inch is a vertical charcoal smoker with two round plated-steel grates and 481 square inches of cooking space. A porcelain-enameled water pan and bowl hold humidity and heat, and four dampers give you manual control that settles around 225-275°F with a full pan. It weighs 39.1 lbs and stands 41 inches tall, so it suits patios and backyard cooks rather than travel. At $419 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range across the 5 stores that list it new.

Best forBackyard cooks who want set-and-forget charcoal smokingRibs, pork butt and brisket for a family or small crowdBuyers who prefer a water smoker over a pellet grillFirst-time smoker owners stepping up from a kettle
Pros
  • Two grates give 481 sq in, enough for several racks or two butts
  • Porcelain-enameled bowl, lid and water pan hold heat and resist rust
  • Four dampers (one top, three bottom) hold steady low temperatures
  • Built-in lid thermometer plus a silicone grommet for a probe
  • 39.1 lbs and 41 in tall: manageable for one person to move
  • Cover and both grates included in the box
Cons
  • Charcoal is added through a small aluminum door, so refills are fiddly
  • Water pan must be refilled on long cooks and adds cleanup
  • Plated-steel grates need care to avoid rust over time
  • No cart or side table; it sits low and you supply the surface
  • Temperature is manual, with no fan or controller out of the box

What reviewers say

Owners of the 18-inch WSM treat it as a reliable low-and-slow smoker that holds 225-275°F for hours once the dampers are dialed in. Most praise its build and steady heat; complaints center on the small fuel door, water pan upkeep and the plated grates.

Questions and answers

Is the Weber Smokey Mountain 18 worth it over a kettle?
If you want true low-and-slow smoking with a water pan and steady 225-275°F, yes. A kettle grills well but needs more tending for long smokes.
How much charcoal does it hold?
A single load of charcoal is rated for up to 24 hours of cooking at smoking temperatures. In practice, most cooks refill once on a brisket cook.
How many people does the 18-inch feed?
Two grates and 481 sq in handle a family or a small party: several racks of ribs, two pork butts or a packer brisket trimmed to fit.
What comes in the box?
Two plated-steel cooking grates, a porcelain-enameled water pan and charcoal chamber, a steel charcoal grate, a silicone temperature grommet and a form-fitting cover.
Can I use it without the water pan?
Yes. Many owners run it dry with a heat deflector for higher heat and easier cleanup, though the pan helps hold low temperatures.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price is $419 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026. Smokers like this often drop around spring grilling sales and end-of-season clearance.
Where is the Weber Smokey Mountain 18” cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $419.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Weber Smokey Mountain 18”?
