    Weber 18.5 Inch Smokey Mountain Cooker

    Hi Guys, After doing some research I am thinking about purchasing the Weber 18.5 inch. A few questions I have though that I could not find the answers to. Can I burn wood with this cooker or just charcoal? Is this model good for grilling or smoking only?
