I've had an 18 for a good long time. The only food item I have an issue with, is ribs. They just don't fit very well, even with a rib rack. If i were to go out and buy a new WSM, I would definitely get the 22.

If you hang the ribs you can get about 8 racks in a 18.5 ...no water pan..
Use one of these

I agree completely. I also have problems with briskets over say 11 pounds.
