Review of Smokenator 180 - Transform Your 18.5" Weber Kettle Into an

Customer Ratings:

Makes my little Gold 18.5" Weber Kettle a mini-smoker. I already have the Weber charcoal rails for indirect smoking, but this works better. It allows you to smoke more meat because all the coals are on one side. Be careful that Smokenator is well latched on the grate supports, or it will dump over.

Absolutely love this thing. Smoked pork butts, ribs, loins, briskets, and chickens already and all turned out to be the best I have ever eaten. Nice not having to have a dedicated smoker on top of all the other grills I have. Only mistake I made was I should have bought the larger size grill.

Little tough to get the temp up to 325 for chicken. In reality I should have just upgraded to the larger size Weber and got the bigger smokenator. That said, this item is awesome, fun to use, works great. It's extremely simple and if I had any clue how to cut and bend sheet metal I'd simply make it myself. Given, I feel like the item is a little overpriced, but it does a great job and I can't complain when a product meets my needs and I'm left with great tasting bbq.

Honest reviews on Smokenator 180 - Transform Your 18.5" Weber Kettle Into an

I travel for a living and have limited space in my RV to store non-essenital items. I certainly don't have room for a full size smoker. I do however, have room for a Weber 18" Kettle. This smokenator transformed my kettle! I have done a couple of smokes so far and this little gadget works great! I made the best salmon I have ever had.

Most people find by experience or warnings on other reviews that the water pan is small and requires a lot of attention. The Excellente Jam pan is recommended. However, if you have the 18" Weber the 4 inch deep jam pan will be too high to allow your lid to close. The way to remedy this is to put the pan on the lower coal grate next to the smokenator. Some people, however, like to cook on that lower grate. The two inch deep jam pan works perfect for the 18" Weber. It can sit on the top grate and will still allow the lid to close.

Some forums have suggested that fire bricks will do just as good of job. I don't know about that but I do know this item works perfectly. It isn't heavy like bricks, leaves more room for cooking area, is easier to store than bricks, and from what I have read it doesn't take as long to heat up as bricks. This is important to get a steady temp going in a shorter period of time.

When I finally get home I am getting another one for my 22" Weber!

Highly recommended.

Absolutely love it! It turned my weber grill into a smoker that can run for 6 hours with little to no watching..my only problem is that I have the smaller weber grill.
