I'm an old member but thought I'd reintroduce myself. I'd been away from the site for a couple or a few years. i had the 22" which was great but as my family dwindled I found it to big for what my wife and I need so I gave it to my Brother, that was over a year ago. I just picked up a used 18.5" Bullet Circa 1999. Paid a hunert for her, my wife thinks I got taken. It was in pretty tough shape, looked like it had sat in an old barn somewhere and it was covered in a tar like substance. Though it was kept dry so the grate didn't completely rust out. With a little elbow grease and some bug and tar remover, a propane torch and a couple of the wife's dish towels (thats another story) , it came out pretty nice, just in time for Fathers Day. This model didn't come with a heat deflector on the bottom or a thermometer. I just added the thermometer. I'm just amazed at the durability of these smokers. 20 years of service many years of sitting in an old barn and a good cleaning and we are smoking again. I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how. I used to do it back in the day.
