Smokey Mountain 22"

The competition-proven bullet smoker — set it, vent it, walk away.

$449Approx. MSRP
Great forlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

The go-to dedicated charcoal smoker for a beginner who's ready to learn real low-and-slow BBQ, once they accept there's a vent-tuning learning curve.

Pros

  • Holds steady low-and-slow temperatures for hours once dialed in
  • Large 22-inch cooking capacity fits big cuts like brisket and multiple rib racks
  • Simple, durable steel construction with a long track record
  • Loads of cooking room — 726 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Learning curve for vent management, especially in wind or cold
  • Lid thermometer needs to be replaced or supplemented with a separate probe
  • Bulkier and heavier than the 18-inch version
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Running too hot or too cold is common until an owner learns to manage vents, wind exposure, and charcoal amount (this is normal for the design, not a defect)
  • Built-in lid thermometer is inaccurate and shouldn't be trusted for real temperature readings
  • Air can leak in around the access door and the seam between charcoal bowl and middle section, throwing off temperature control
