I've had my 22.5' WSM for two years now and this year got rid of my crappy Char-Broil gas grill and got a Weber Performer Platinum. I'm NEVER looking back! I love it already.
Glad you dumped the crappy ol' Char-Broil gas grill, John....
Welcome to our addiction!
Great folks here, even some from Saint Louie.....
Hope your stay is a BLAST!
