I purchased this basket for my WSM 14.5. It fits perfectly and does the job. Easy clean up. 7" Bottom Diameter, 12" Top Diameter, 5.75" Tall and 4.25" Depth. ~$30 bucks on Amazon.

The WSM 14.5 inch meets my and my wife's needs. I have an "another brand" 16 inch which I use on occasion. However, the 14.5 is my goto smoker.

Thanks for the comments. Sometimes I think the WSM 14.5 doesn't get due credit. It is as good as the big brothers and is perfect for this kind of a chicken smoke. The bird was wonderful. Had baked beans, coleslaw, baked sweet potato and a wheat roll. Good eats.

Did this on the WSM today. I continue to be amazed at how these smokers hold a steady temp. 245 degrees plus or minus a couple of degrees the entire cook. Kinda set it and forget it.

You may also close this thread if it is not going in the intended direction. Just a thought.

I downgraded from a 18.5 to a 14.5 and was/am able to do wonderful long and slow smokes with excellent temperature control right out of the box with no mods. Sorry but I cannot connect the dots on spending hundreds of dollars to "make it a decent item to actually use".. Please...what did you...

Belt for me. Here in Northern Virginia most of the suspenders wearers are middle aged to senior age men who are overweight to the point of being obese or near obese.

Anyone here smoked one of these? Two to the pack. Pointers are appreciated.

Excellent!!!!

Please help me understand this. Is the MAP the lowest price a store can sell the product? Take the price of the WSM 14.5. MAP is $279.00. MSRP is $329.00. What is the relationship of the MAP/MSRP? Will a store such as Lowe's advertise the MAP price or the MSRP price. I appreciate any...

Folks, I am looking for a middle section of a 14.5. Not picky. Just in decent condition. Door not needed. Please let me know your recommendations. Thanks Much.

I wonder what's going on with Lowe's? I know they are keeping store inventory as low as possible. Is it a big markup at Weber? Is Lowe's losing money on these? Also, kind of a weird price. I picked one up at the Lowe's store in Manassas Virginia. They had 10 in stock. Vaughan

Wonderful post. Thanks for sharing. Yum Yum

And this is breaking news???? Gimme a break.

I just completed smoking a nice sized chicken and polish sausage on my WSM 14,5 with excellent results. Pegged the temp at 225 degrees through out the cook. So I ask myself, why should I spend $72.00 (w/shipping) on an ARBORFAB basket? Folks with them.....what does this bring to the table? It...

I purchased a used (great condition) 22.5. I did not realize how large this smoker is (my bad). It is big and heavy. Now that I have it (again my fault) I am seeking the best way to dispose of it. Is it okay to ask for suggestions to dispose of it? I appreciate any help. Mods can delete...

At what point/time/temp do you wrap? How long is the butt wrapped? Do you do something similar as the 321 for ribs? Other? Thanks......

Yes. The 14.5 is a nice smoker. I could peg desired temp the entire cook. I hope temp control is as easy on the 18.5. Also, with the last few smokes on the 14.5 I did not use water in the pan and the meat was as good as using water. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.......

I had a WSM 14.5. While having the typical Weber engineering and quality, it was a little small for me. I sold it and purchased a WSM 18.5. I am sure it will deliver the same smoking ease and quality of the WSM 14.5. The kicker is that I was able to purchase the WSM 18.5 (brand new and...

Good post with a variety of thoughts. My take is that the folks at Weber engineered this unit to be used with water; otherwise, why would they include a component called a "water pan". However, the important item to remember is that one can do great smokes with this unit using water, bricks...
