Smokey Mountain Cooker with Kettle Rotisserie on top. Anyone Tried Putting this on the Big Smokey mountain Cooker at the top of it and smoked the meat? Just curious if anyone ever tried this.

Unfortunately this model doesn't fit the 22.5" WSM. The lip construction of the WSM for both the upper section and lid fit differently than they do on the Kettle; the lip fits inside vs outside. Not sure why Weber did it this way, but I own both.There is a rotisserie available from cajun bandit (cajunbandit.com) that fits both the WSM and flips over to fit the Kettle. I'm probably going to spring for that eventually.

There is a good explanation on how to season the smoker by Slap Yo Daddy BBQ in the reviews. When I start charcoal I fill my chimney and put some newspaper underneath and light it. Then I pour the lit coals on top of unlit coals this is called the Minion Method (google it) ...I never use lighter fluid !! You can taste it in the meat. There is a wealth of information on the Internet on how use this grill for cooking all types of meats. Just do a little research and Enjoy !

I successfully mounted the brackets on the side of Weber Kettle grill and use it with a "Fill It and Grill It Rotisserie Basket" to roast chili peppers. I'm sure it would work equally well cooking things on the spit with out the basket. The nice thing is the small motor housing slips right off and is stored in a drawer so it's not exposed to the weather. I'm usually dissatisfied with anything that people sell me anymore but I really like this product.

I originally bought the Burton 6050 with interface disc.. I was concerned because of many reviewers commenting that the interface disc rendeerd the unit fairly ineffective. The unit died soon after arrival. I did get to try the interface disc once. It did render the cook top fairly useless. I replaced that dead unit with the 6200 unit. It has been working fine for almost a year. I've never used a pressure cooker with the cook top. I'm not sure what metal your pressure cooker is but maybe try it w/o the interface disc. And watch it closely the 1st time you do this.

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?

I agree with Gary. We haven't tried the rotisserie feature of the Meco, but I suspect it will work well. Good sear, and it came almost totally preassembled.

Wood chunks work better. A Weber potholder, A good SMOKING cookbook. My husband and I just got the Weber Smokey Mountain, and we love it. We bought lots of cheaper smokers, but none compare to this one!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!

Two different ways of cooking buddy. There is no way to sear your meat with a smoker but your meats will come out just out of this world

Build a smaller fire with fewer charcoal bricks. Perfect for a couple hot dogs or a couple burgers or a nice rib eye. I think this thing is wonderful for big family get-togethers as well as smaller dinners for two...If storage space is an issue; you could always look at something smaller...perhaps a Hibachi type grill?

Nope; sorry! I wouldn't recommend it. Just do that separately and then put it in the cooker.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

I do not have posession of this cooker; I purchased it as a gift for my sister. Check out the Presto website. This type of inforrmation should be there. All I know is she loves it.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

I have to agree with Michael...I sent mine back as it was scratched up, looked used and every time I plugged it in the controller smoked (I tried 8-10 times). Was afraid to even give it a whirl, so wouldn't recommend. My suggestion: invest in a 1600 watt portable induction cooktop and use your own clad induction ready cookware. With those you can use them as a slow cooker. It's the solution I finally came up with.I never took the opportunity to measure volume since, as I said, the controller smoked, even after leaving it plugged in for 30+ minutes 8-10 times. It did look to hold 4 qts. to the top, but would advise using only 2-3 qts., just in case it boiled over.

I do not use my stovetop pressure cooker to brown meat. I prefer using my cast iron pan to brown meat for pressure cooker recipes. Nevertheless, you could use the cooker to brown meat. I rather not.

Hi Peter, The Smokemeister works extremely well when mounted slightly below the cooking grate. There needs to be enough air flow through the grilling chamber along with a vent for it to effectively generate a significant amount of smoke. I have it mounted on a charcoal hot smoker and am impressed with its ability to truly cold smoke salmon etc. A gas grill as you describe might be more difficult to make an attachment. The smoke tends to rise depending on the ventilation so mounted above the grill rack would not produce a quantity of smoke compared to mounted below the rack. Ernest K
