My biggest fear I would have for you is if you dropped $300 and spent the next 20 + years wishing you would of just gotten the 22 inch one. If you think you would want or use the extra space get the 22" one and don't look back. Just because it DOES hold more charcoal, for shorter cooking times...

I have done a lot of boston butts etc, I highly doubt it will take 16 hours. More like 9-12 hour range I would thing. Obviously if you can run your smoker in the 240-250 range it will take less than if you are in the 225-230 zone. A few things: 1) your smoker might have some temp swings...

The cookers would run just about the same but the butts may vary anyways due to size or just because they will. Having said that if they will fit (which they should) I would us the 2 18.5. Sure you can't get them all (all 8) onto the 22.5?

and how much was it? you can't leave us hanging man (smile...)

I will tell you since you asked... I bought a 22.5 WSM and like you it wasn't available anywhere local so I ordered it from Amazon. When it arrived I did notice the top grill racks that I thought should be "even" with the box as you open it was instead kind of tilted and pushed down into the...

If you have time you could always do 4-5 racks, put them in fridge, do the next batch the day before etc. then warm them in oven or better yet grill that day. you may not have the time though...

When I got mine I had the same issue. Just to let you know I called Weber and they made it right by sending me out a brand new center section either 1 or 2 day air (it was quick). AND They did not require me to send the old section back. I did have to take a few photos of the gap etc but then...

When I purchased my WSM 22" it was also from Amazon. When I went to open the box I am not sure exactly what made me feel like something wasn't packed just right, but it just didn't look quite right. mainly the grill parts were somewhat pushed down into the main body awkwardly. Anyway...

I store mine outside and the rain has never been an issue. I think as recommended above a trash bag over it first you will be just fine

Of those three listed above by Booker I have found the most selection at Home Depot. Maybe it is just in my area. Home depot seems to usually have a bit more of an organized grill section. Not the actual grills per say, but all the accessories etc. At least it seems so to me. But yes all...

maybe someone with a bit more experience or knowledge can correct me if this is actually a bad thing, but quite honestly I have been just getting it from Amazon. easy to order, shows up a few days later. Or Home depot has a good selection amazon example...

Not exactly a quote, but still cracks me up:

To be clear, I will kind of say what I said above. If I was starting from scratch and getting a new one, I don't thin the 22.5 is THAT much bigger than the 18.5, and I would tend to suggest that one. I will say I bought the 22.5 versus the 18.5 myself. But if I already had a 18.5 and it met...

I don't have a 18.5 and 22.5, I just have the 22.5. So maybe not the best one to answer but I personally have not had an issue with running "too hot". I can control temps I assume just as easily as I would be able to on the 18.5. I have no issues keeping it in the 225 - 240 range if I want...

I will say if the 18" meets your needs 95% of the time (your estimate) AND this was a gift from your wife, just stick with it. I have the 22" but honestly have rarely needed the extra space

Looks terrible. you shouldn't eat any more of it. Please freeze and send whatever is still left to me with dry ice immediately so that I can help dispose of the rest. Just a courtesy of mine. you are welcome in advance.

A couple of things: 1) The temp probe on the dome of the wsm is known to not be that accurate. It will give you a ball park but don't rely on it for accurate readings. The $ you saved on the $99 deal you may want to invest in a nice Maverick thermometer like this one if you want more accurate...

there is absolutely zero, nill, zilch way you could pass up a $50 WSM. That is an absolute steal. I have the 22.5 and love it, but also have a family of 5 that I sometimes just want one chicken or some wings to smoke. If I saw this for $50 it would be in the cart so fast.

Do you have a Costco nearby? they have prime for very cheap sometimes
