Hello from Los Angeles

Hello!

I was led to these forums through a cousin's delicious ribs. About 10 years ago, I ate ribs that literally fell off the bone (it was years of bad, dried up, tough restaurant ribs before I realized that my cousin's ribs had been smoked). I dabbled in smoking/bbqing over the years with friends, but finally as of last month I moved into a place where I'm allowed to use my own smoker. One of my friends suggested I look at the WSM, and my cousin pointed me towards these forums. I've been reading posts and articles here over the past week, and finally registered for my own account today.

Currently, I have an old, old 22.5 inch Weber Kettle Grill, and will be purchasing an 18.5 inch WSM within the next couple of days (as soon as I find a place that sells the 2014 model!). I cook quite a bit but am newer to the world of slow and low, so I hope to learn a lot from everyone here.
 
Thanks everyone! I'll be going around to the various home depots and related stores in the LA area this weekend - I'll post pics as soon as I make the purchase :D.

Very excited to be joining this community.
 
Welcome Paul!

You can make your purchase on Amazon by linking to them directly from this site. You may actually have a hard time finding WSM's in SoCal.

I may do that - you're right, I actually did have trouble today. Two different Home Depots, and I struck out at both. Why is it that WSMs are hard to find in So Cal? Seems like a waste of beautiful BBQ weather year round.

I was hoping to get the new 2014 model, and another gentleman in the forums mentioned that he just bought a WSM from amazon, and didn't get the updated model. So I may just wait a few more weeks, as I've heard the 2014s officially launch at the start of October.
