Well I now have all three WSM's.
My smoking career started with a 20" Pro Q which was OK, but the fit and finish was not even close to the WSM. Moved to a 22" WSM which was great for BIG cooks, After a couple years found a 18" WSM in very good condition on CL for $150 and came with 7 bags of charcoal and some other stuff. I fretted for some time and finally picked up the 14" today.
Cute little guy, cooking for the wife and I it will probably be used more than the larger smokers. The 14" is seasoning right now. With a full chimney of KBB is running 360 degrees with an empty water pan in, the temp outside is 12 degrees. Looks like it is going to be good for poultry high temps without having to add a second vent like I did on the 18".
