If you are asking, “Is the Weber Smokey Mountain worth it?” then the answer is: “The Weber Smokey Mountain is a world class smoker that is worth every penny.” Stick with me and let me show you why the Weber Smokey Mountain is one of the best values you can find.
The beauty of the Weber Smokey Mountain is that it offers precision air control. Precise air control results in precise temperature control and that can be a massive benefit when learning how to barbecue.
