I do a good amount of grilling (steaks/burgers), and a fair amount of bbq (usually chicken thighs and ribs). All I have is a Weber 26.75 inch kettle, which I'm successfully using for ribs by keeping coals to one side with bricks. No problem maintaining 250 degrees for 6 hours, might require 1 re-fuel.
So I'm thinking of acquiring a 22.5 inch WSM. My first reason is that more toys are always better than fewer toys. But is the WSM that superior to the kettle? We entertain a lot (we have the only pool in the neighborhood), and I would like to try some pulled pork and brisket, which I'm guessing would be easier on the WSM.
I have the $$ fortunately, I just need to justify spending it. So why do I need both the kettle and the WSM?
