I paid $300 for my 18.5......haven't regretted it a bit.

So is Weber using Wallyworld as an outlet to sell off a bunch of 14" smokers for $99 that the general public had no interest in buying for $200?

Good suggestion. Thanks.

So I need a portable grill that I can take with me camping/beach/cub scouts/etc. The smokey joe is just too small to cook for a family of six, so I'm looking at the 18" Jumbo Joe. I'm guessing hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages will be the primary meats cooked, but would also like to grill corn...

I'm 38, but my kids call me an "old guy".......otherwise I meet the rest of the criteria.

Thats a great deal!! If I didn't already stock up on Kingsford Comp, I'd be on my way to walmart right now.

Any reason one of these wouldn't work? AT $20....seems like a cheap option. I personally just use a chimney with a piece of crumpled paper.

I'm late to this party, but I kinda wish I had the 22 as well. My budget was stretched pretty thin when I bought the 18......so I simply didn't have the extra $100 for the 22. However, I like to put turkeys in an aluminum pan before smoking them. I usually have to finagle the lid onto the 18 in...

My local Costco only sells boneless. Usually two per pack. I tie them up with culinary twine and they work out well. I have got 1-2 over the years that were poorly processed and the slab looked like it had been hit with a 12 gauge shotgun. But in most cases, they're fine. All else being equal...

-Your local post office might have some "new neighbor" envelopes that often include 10% off coupons to Lowes and/or home depot. Might be worth a look since it could save you $70+. - You could wait and hope for a floor model to get cleared out......but you'll have to haunt the big box stores in...

RATS!! I just went to Costco yesterday and paid $20 for 2 18lbs bags. I guess I'll go back after my coupons arrive and pick up four more bags.

Thank you Gents. I took the "3-2-1" thing too literally. It sounds like most of you are getting this done in about 3.5ish hours. Next rack, I'll foil after 1.5 hours, then de-foil 1.5 hours after that. We'll see how it goes.

After three failed attempts to smoke St Louis cut pork ribs......I'm finally going to ask for help. I'm using an 18.5 WSM, water in the pan, and getting the heat up to about 275*. I smoke for 3ish hours over Kingsford blue, with hickory and/or cherry wood. Then I foil them for another 2 hours...

I've used my WSM when the power was off for two days following a storm. I've also taken mine with me on a camping trip and to the beach. Emergency preparedness probably isn't one of your criteria for a smoker purchase though. LOL. But I'll admit, I was glad to have it.

Corned beef briskets are about all I buy anymore. Maybe 2-3 times per year when they are on sale.
