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?

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.

While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short. Though, you could probably stack bricks or similar under the four legs to increase the height. If you use a cast iron wood carrier in the fireplace to make sure the flaming logs have air underneath the challenge might be a little greater. The grate itself is cast iron, but since the grate bars are triangular, like a Toblerone chocolate, I imagine the flame will hit a larger surface area of the meat. Not sure it would work well. It might but I don't know. My gut tells me that this grill is best used over a bed of coals.

I have a Yoder 640 and still use this on certain smokes. It works great!! I have a weber smoker and use the tube with it as well. Over New Years, I smoked six chickens and the taste was great. I would recommend the tube.

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

Many of Webers items, like this one does 'not' work well in my large round kettle. I don't own the maxi, I have 3 of the others that were considered their large before they came out with this. I also bought their rib rack for the grill, that does not work and its too large for the kettle grill. They are both just sitting in their boxes. Hope this assists you in some way.

The booklet which should have came with the smoker kettle pretty well covers general usage. Personally I use ours on the side burner of a gas BBQ grill where it works great!! My only complaint with the kettle is that the paint coating on the OUTSIDE starts to peel off after a number of uses. Doesn't affect the use, just looks crappy! O'all we are very pleased with the Nordic Kettle It cooks fresh Trout to a "T" and pork chops are excellent. Would recommend it.

Yes, we've used it on our charcoal grill to bake potatoes and whole chicken, we have a smoker attachment on the side of the grill so we've cooked and smoked chicken on our grill using rotisserie.

I love the smoker, but I have never used it for smoking. I bought it as a short steaming pan. I purchased two others as gifts. I use it as my go-to pan for steaming, sautéing, frying etc. I have an induction range, but it should work well stove with coils also.

I haven't personally tried it, but we were talking about that very thing this weekend. I don't know why not if you leave the cooker on manual and time it through the timer.

I have not. I only use this for smoking and pressure smoking so my food has been racked.

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.

Although I haven't tried this, I suppose you can take out the middle section and place the grate on top of the charcoal ring. Weber offers a bbq grill that can also be used for smoking, I have a friend who has one and it smokes very well. If you are going to do more grilling than smoking that might be a better choice. Hope that helps.

This is how I do it I add about 6 smoke chips 3 on each side of the drip pan. I use apple and I add a little beer to the drip pan. Add charcoal close it let me cook. Best of luck Geary

I have had 3 of these cookers; they last about 10 years.Don't try and make it something it is not (a barbeque grill).Wood chunks will too big for them to burn correctly; just stay with the chips.Use it only as a smoker with top closed.

The banjo will not, at least not that I have found...the jet burner needs to be on fairly heavy otherwise it will leave soot. Tried to keep a small kettle on warm with it and it blackened it. The banjo probably would too, just don't use them on low. It is a great cooker, will hold a VERY heavy kettle and heat up quickly.

Michael Hoffman said in another response that he did it. I have never tried. I do my ribs on my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker. I don't see why you couldn't do this and even with St Louis ribs but it would take some special effort to get them to stay on the spit. I think the normal 2 prong forks on the spit would be inadequate. Maybe that's why Michael said he used quite a few skewers. Where there's a Weber and a will it probably can be done.dch

I just smoked two full racks a couple of weekends ago. I used a Weber rib rack on the lower grill, and this held 3 half-racks upright, and I laid the last half rack flat on the upper grill. All were spaced far enough apart to get smoked and came out great. You could probably use another rib rack on the upper grill to get 3+ full racks done, but it'll be a tight fit at that point.
