22.5

First time caller, long time listener. Thanks much for all the advice on this board. Been very helpful and my family appreciates the fantastic food that has come out of the recommendations here. I have a WSM 22.5. Got it for Father’s Day in June and I’ve used it about 15 times now. I love...

I’m one of the many trying to decide which WSM to buy. I’ve read some threads on a few different forums. 95% of the stuff I see is “go big go big always go big go big” or “build a UDS”. So, I’m currently leaning towards a 22.5”. Is there a heat-retention issue on the 22.5” WSM? I’ve seen some...

I'm having 25-ish employees/guests tomorrow night for an annual work party, and I am going to do beer can chicken. Last year, I did three spatchcocked with the basic BBQ chicken method, and results were great. We are having a few more guests this year and I don't have room to do four that way...

Hello, new to the Forum and excited to start getting into smoking. Was going to purchase a 22.5" WSM over the internet and was quoted at $250 for a display model with a dent in the main body and some chipped paint. I was wondering if this would affect the performance of the WSM? Thanks in...

So I am posting in the new wsm owner thread, even though I owned my first wsm five years ago. I loved it, but got carried away in a bge sickness, and let my friend have my 18.5 wsm after I got my second bge. I have, and still do enjoy using my eggs, but I found a 22.5 wsm for sale last week...

I did my first cook today in my 22.5 WSM. I just made a couple racks of baby backs for a test. Here's the rundown: I put a full chimney of unlit briquettes in the charcoal ring with 3 apple wood chunks. I lit a half chimney of briquettes and dumped them over the unlit. Poured 1 gallon of...
