Happy to join the group. I've been smoking on a webber kettle for years. Decided to jump into a 22.5 wsm today and thought it would be fun to join the party. Looking forward to good times and great food.
 
Sorry for the late reply. My two year old sprays water on my new LED TV (killing it), internet problems put a damper on my new forum experience, and killed my big initial cook with the wsm. I had company coming over for dinner tonight and as I did not have time to properly season the new wsm I thought it best to use the old weber kettle for the spares tonight. It's kind of like playing food Tetris to fit 3 racks of ribs on a 22 in weber kettle. However, I've been doing it for so long I figured it would be a better option than using a brand new unseasoned grill that I have no experience cooking on. Even though i fought through hours of temperature fluctuations and food rotations (soooo looking forward to the wsm) the end product more than satisfied the guests. The look on people's face when they bite into good smoked food that they are used to coming out of a crockpot or oven is priceless. Thank you all for the encouragement and I look forward to being part of the group.

I never have smoked potatoes also known in these parts as spuds or tators. However after watching the bbq pit boys do those potato bombs, it is on the to do list.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

I want to participate in this tri tip throw down, that will probably be my first cook on this beast. I cook lots of them and are a personal favorite but it seems like an awful lot of space to heat up for a small piece of meat. I know... I'll cook 4 tri tips to justify firing up the big boy for the first time.

It's great seeing everyone's collection in the bottom of their post but since I don't know how to do that I'll just list it here.

Weber smokey joe, 22 in kettle, genesis E-330, and newly acquired 22.5 WSM.
 
Potatoes are very good on the grill. Probably my favorite way is to toss them in the coals and rake coals over them so they cook even.
