As part of the BBQ Smoker Reviews posted on this site, I wanted to take a turn at highlighting a pretty easy way some folks have found to turn a Weber Grill into a consistent and reliable smoked BBQ cooking machine.
I’ve written a lot about the history of Weber Grills in the US and abroad, from the basic Weber Kettle to grills like the Weber Performer and Weber Ranch Kettle.
As I talk with BBQers ranging from the best backyard BBQ grillers to BBQ Professions of the caliber of Myron Mixon and Johnny Trigg, there’s no mistaking the flavor profile you get when you add to your special spice and rub mixtures the true blue smoke from charcoal and some wood.
Understandably, many of these BBQ Smokers and pit masters use honest to goodness smokers including Green Mountain Grills, Stump’s Smokers, Backwoods Smokers, and Jambo Pits to name a few.
But what do you do when you want to create mouth watering BBQ Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken and Ribs and you’re cooking on a Weber Kettle?
Well, as many of you might guess, you set up half your Weber for direct cooking, with hot coals on one side and a drip pan or pans on the other. Add your favorite wood chips or chunks to your charcoal, moderate the temp, and you’re smoking.
But… what about keeping water over the coals and wood chips to keep moisture in the picture? Smoked food without ample moister will dry out, and no one likes dry BBQ.
Introducing… the Smokenator 1000
One answer to this situation may just be the Smokenator 1000, which according to the manufacturer turns a typical Weber kettle grill into an incredible meat smoker, allowing easy and full control over both moisture and temperature. Reports so far say that the Smokenator frees up space on your Weber Grill, delivers true indirect cooking, and will hold enough fuel for 6 hours.
Check out the amount of potential BBQ Smoker space you have using this tool!
The ability to smoke BBQ on multiple levels in your Weber Kettle sets the Smokenator 1000 above the rest. It definitely beats out the standard charcoal basket setup where you often have a lot of carry over direct heat despite setting your food over the indirectly heated part of your Weber grill.

The Smokenator 1000 provides you with an average surface area of 300 square inches.

The placement of the Smokenator lets a 25-pound turkey sit comfortably in the Weber, without worrying about getting ash on the turkey when one stirs the coals. There is no worry about the foil moving and the turkey getting dried out. The Smokenator partition blocks the majority of direct radiation while turning the kettle into a highly moisturized cooking environment.
Great – but how exactly does the Smokenator 1000 work?
A good solution for BBQ Smoker newbies who own a 22.5” or 26.75″ Weber kettle and want to avoid many months of trial and error and disappointing result, the Smokenator 1000 takes a lot of the guess work out of BBQ smoker cooking.
Maximized Burn Times with Minimal Burned Food!
What I think is one of the coolest things about the Smokenator 1000 is the fact that you can chock it full of as much charcoal and wood chunks as two separate baskets of coal and wood. You can see this in the following photo:

According to the manufacturer’s website, the Smokenator 1000 contains the hot coals channeling heat upward and shields food from direct heat. Food is cooked by convection and gentle radiation that is diffused through the 18 gage stainless steel metal of the Smokenator itself.

A built in water pan is situated directly over the coals, which is the most efficient way to fill the kettle with high humidity. This humidity does three things: Keeps food moist (assuring deep smoke ring penetration), keeps temperature lower which gives you more control over temperature. By the way – it is very difficult to nearly impossible to achieve this water over the coals effect in your Weber grill without a tool like the Smokenator 1000.

Product Description

The whole idea of this product is to provide you with a means and a method to let you control your Weber, to obtain superlative results, while not having to buy a water smoker or other higher priced smoking device. Best of all, because the water pan is located extremely close to the coals, the cooking environment is kept moist.

This takes much of the fussiness out of smoking. This accessory works with all meats, but especially chicken and turkey by keeping it moist. Pork ribs and red meats are very moist. The Smokenator is versatile; you can even cook a 25-pound turkey.

The instructions show you how to set up your Weber Kettle's, lower and upper vents and gives you clear concise instructions on how to regulate the air needed to smoke your food when you use Kingsford charcoal.

Move on from the Smokenator 1000 Stand Alone for Even More Cooking Capacity
There are some useful iterations of this tool as well. For instance, the Smokenator 1000 plus Hover Kit really increases the total area you have inside your Weber kettle grill.
The whole idea of the Smokenator-Hovergrill kit is to provide you with a means and a method to let you control your Weber and provide extra grill capacity. The existing Weber food support grill and Hovergrill provide 550 square inches of surface to smoke over 15 pounds of ribs or 7 chicken halves. This combination has more area than a Weber Smokey Mountain.
Then of course, you may want to keep the standard model of Smokenator and go with Weber’s Rib Rack to add a little more smoking capacity.
This Weber rib rack gets top reviews from many users. One user stated that it fits on one shelf of his smoker, holds four half racks of ribs between the uprights and two more half racks by leaning them up against the ends. “Since we get our baby back ribs packed three full racks to a package this works out great. I have to cut the racks of ribs into two to fit them into the smoker so this wire rack accommodates them all. Price is right for the problem it solves.”

Last but not least is the trusty Weber chimney starter. Really, there is no better way to get your coals burning. Just fill it with your favorite natural lump charcoal, put a piece of paper towel soaked in cooking oil in the bottom, and let it rip!
