Everything about that picture is awesome you lucky farker!

Anyways, I purchased my 18.5 wsm a month ago. Man I love it, you guys were right it's amazing! I need a picture but it wouldn't be exciting just the wsm and a crappy apartmentatio haha.

It will still be at this temp at midnight if I let it go.

Picked up a 22.5" WSM last week and did a couple birds this weekend and cold smoked some cheese. Ribs and a pork butt on on the menu for the 4th!

Initial burn in...

Birds cooked at 325...

Great thread. I grew up around inline stick burners. I was a bit skeptical of cooking inside something that looked like a relative of R2D2. But...I took the leap and bought the 22.5 over 2 years ago and it's friggen awesome. Honestly for the amount of cook space for $400 it's not a bad deal considering it will last a long time. Once she gets stable she'll just cruise.

She's been through Superbowls, National Holidays, Army-Navy, turkeys, ribs, pork shoulders, briskets, ABTs, ham, duck, chicken, sausage...and she's still young!

I want to buy a couple more to start vending at a local farmers market next year after I finish servsafe, and all the other legal mumbo-jumbo.

I really like mine, at first it was frustarting then I stopped trying to run it like my Chargriller and shazam now I'm happier than a pig in slop with it.

I have to say as a proud owner of a 18.5" Weber I now even though its absolutely pointless for my needs I want a 22.5! Maybe just maybe for Christmas

Why is it pointless for your needs?

Why is it pointless for your needs?

I have more than enough space for the wife and I, occasional extra couple of racks and chicken for family. I have my Fugly drum if I really need it and two mini WSMs.
My problem is I just want it, which means it will show up at some point, then the rotisserie and rib o later too. Not that its a bad thing, its just a pain to ask for forgiveness all the time

Here is my 18.5" 1983 WSM $50 CL find. So far, I've used it 3 times. Ribs, Chuck Roast & a 12 pound turkey. Still getting the hang of it. Did quite a few mods to it. If you want to see the mods, check out the link at the bottom.

The WSM is so versatile that we don't even know all the hidden potential.

.

Just wait until I unveil my next mod, it will turn the WSM into a grilling machine. :becky:
