ATBBQ Collapsible Food Prep Tub with Built-in Cutting Board

One of our favorite accessories for the Weber Kettle, turning it into a versatile smoker. The simple design makes it easy to use, and the price makes it a no-brainer!

You cannot cook directly over the unit as the heat would burn any food there, leaving about 80% of the Kettle for food. The Smokenator is great for smoking smaller cuts of meat and quantities such as chicken wings, pork chops, ribs, etc. or for doing single large cut items like pork shoulder or a full turkey.

Smokenator 180 for 18-inch Weber Kettle Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smokenator 180 for the 18-inch Weber Kettle?

The Smokenator 180 is a stainless-steel insert that transforms your 18-inch Weber Kettle into an efficient water-based smoker. It enables low-and-slow cooking with minimal fuss, moisture retention, and excellent smoke flavor—all without needing a separate smoker appliance.

How do I use it to smoke food?

Install the Smokenator in the bottom of your kettle, load it with charcoal and wood chunks, place a water pan on top, and let it generate smoke for low-and-slow cooking. Adjust your vents and monitor temps—the basic process is simple and user-friendly.

What are the size limitations—will it fit my kettle?

This model is specifically designed to fit 18-inch Weber Kettles (approx. 18.5″ diameter). It does **not** fit the smaller Weber Jumbo Joe model.

How much food can I cook with it?

The Smokenator 180 is ideal for smaller cuts—like chicken wings, pork chops, ribs—or even a whole turkey or pork shoulder, as there's still over 80% of your kettle left for food space.

How does it compare to other inserts like the Slow ’N Sear?

While the Smokenator is an effective, easy, and economical way to convert your kettle into a smoker, reviews suggest the Slow ’N Sear offers better searing capabilities and versatility. That said, the Smokenator remains a strong value for achieving authentic smoke flavor.

What benefits does the water-based design bring?

Its water-pan design maintains high humidity within the kettle, which helps prevent drying out—tests show it reduces water evaporation by about 45% compared to traditional methods. Your food stays juicy, with less fuss over managing moisture.
