Been a lurker for a while now - finally decided to take the plunge. Anyway as the subject line says I'm from Vermont the BBQ capital of nowhere. I had a basic kettle in the mid-eighties and ditched it for gas. What a mistake. Then a couple of years ago I saw someone selling an original 22 kettle on the side of the road. Twenty dollars later it was my go-to que; still is. I had been smoking on a Char-Griller dual w/side fire box(actually smoked the food for my daughters wedding) which required constant babysitting. Sooo I bought a WSM 22.5. I have never been happier. Plenty of room and almost foolproof. Enough rambling just wanted to say hello, and am looking forward to finding out how I can maximize my cooks as well as the functionality of my cookers.
