Congrats on getting your WSM. Mine arrived today and I have it loaded in the back of my SUV. At 5 pm local time we have a heat index of 102 F. Once the outside temp drops this evening I am going to begin the assembly process. I was planning on putting it on the deck, but saw an article on the board about someone setting the deck on fire during an overnight cook. From the previous posts it sounds like the deck will be fine as long as I use some safety common sense. I have some Mexican tiles I am going to look at in putting down as a deck cover. I might shop around for some sheet metal too.
