I have a $240 credit toward any grill or smoker at Lowe's (because my old gas grill quit working after using it only three times and the company (The Great Outdoors) is no longer around to warranty it, so Lowe's is warrantying it). I am trying to decide between the 18.5" and the 22.5".
Part of my thinks that if I'm going to buy a smoker and I only have to pay the difference between the $240 credit and the cost of the smoker, why not go ahead and get the bigger one.
The other part of my thinks that I might not use that extra space but in rare occasions.
So, I'd like to know from you guys, is the 22.5" worth the extra $100 dollars? Is the extra space that much more useful? Do you find yourselves using that extra space? I typically smoke for 4-6 people and most of the time it's butts and baby backs, maybe some chicken thighs.
How many full racks can I lay out flat in an 18.5"?
How many full racks can I lay out flat in a 22.5"?
Any other thoughts or advice is welcomed.
Thanks a lot for you guys' input.
