Smokey Mountain Cooker Series
For more experienced barbecuers or just lovers of barbecue in general, Weber has the Smokey Mountain Cooker Series. One of the best low and slow cookers on the market, savoury every bite as the tender meat falls off the bone.
Inside, a porcelain enamelled water pan generates steam to keep the cooking temperature low and even. As a result, the foods are tender, succulent and moist. Smouldering smoke combines with the steam and filters up through the double racks, encircling hams, fish, poultry or sausage to produce beautiful flavours. The smoker is made from heavy gauge steel sealed in porcelain enamel that won’t peel, stain or burn.
If you’re really serious about smoking the Smokey Mountain Cooker is your ideal choice.

Electric Barbecues
Pulse Series
Made for urban living, the Weber Pulse Series doesn’t have to worry about restrictions on gas or charcoal and will never run out of fuel. Powered by electricity the cast iron cooking grates achieve a flavor and sear that you can’t get in the kitchen.
Sporting two models the Pulse 1000 and Pulse 2000, the latter is a larger version while also possessing independently controllable dual-zone functionality so you cook your steak on one side while preparing your sides on the other.
