Dear Vic - I love my 14.5 WSM. It's a perfect size for me. I find it really easy to use, fun to experiment with and I'm super happy with it. And I still love my table too! Laura

I agree, the Brinkman's are great. I'm doing 8 half racks tomorrow, can't wait! Laura

I'm in! First year ever now I've got my little smoker. :) I will be doing ribs as well. Have a great day, Everybody! Looking forward to tomorrow! Laura

So great to see everyone's set up! Here's my little Weber family. Laura

Dear Everyone - I did my first cook with my adorable 14.5 WSM who I have named R2D2 (and I know I am not the first, but I could not help myself). I did a Harry Soo rib recipe I love that I have done on my kettle before. The night before, I did a hot fast burn off of the smoker on the right...

Looks great! Mail me some! ;) Laura

This all great. I have used the Minion Method on my kettle with fire bricks. I will try the tin can Minion on my little WSM. I am going to go ahead and do a quick burn off tonight on my WSM while I grill a steak next to it on my Smokey Joe. Then tomorrow I am planning on ribs for my first...

Wow, that is amazing. I am totally impressed. I bought a 14.5 WSM, I'm in for some excellent BBQing. I can't wait. I have oil pans too for under my grills, great idea. I may not be able to have my WSM on my Weber grilling table, but I'll check it out. I am so glad Weber made a 14.5! It is...

Ha, I love it already! I am not being very original but I named him R2D2. I got the Brinkmann racks today, bought two. I am going to go the Harry Soo route of seasoning, which will also be nice for dry practice runs without food. I'm mainly a griller who BBQ's occasionally on my 22.5 kettle...

Great, thank you all. I went and bought one today, put it together, we are ready for some seasoning/dry runs this weekend! So excited! I'll have to change my signature! ;) Laura

Hello Everyone - I am thinking about getting a Weber Smokey Mountain 14.5. I have been searching to see if I could find any pics with people smoking ribs on it. If anyone has been smoking ribs on this little guy and could either post pictures or direct me to a thread, that would be great...

Thanks Everyone - I went and looked at it today and I'm in love. I like the size for my tiny place and what I'll be smoking, although I want to make sure I can do ribs on it just fine. Sounds like I can, I just want to do more research. Thank you for your help! - Laura

I realized I have been living under a rock - there's a 14.5 WSM?!! Do you guys love yours? I have wanted a smoker but I would need a small one because I have to bring it in and store it. I am going to go look at one today but good to know it might fit on this table. Exciting!! Laura

Thanks Jim - I love to brine when I have time, great advice. Thank you! Laura

Hey Everyone - so, I have wanted a WSM but I don't have a ton of room, and would need to bring the smoker in from the backyard. I've been using my 22.5 OTG, which works but I would love my own dedicated smoker. I am very excited about the 14.5! I am on my phone at work so it is a little tough...
