I Finally Pulled the Trigger on a WSM

[G Savrnoch]

Hey just thought I'd mention I got a great deal on Kijiji yesterday for a new 22.5" WSM. Guy won it as a prize and did not want it. Saved $150.00 vs. new from the store. Been watching Kijiji and CL for while but here in Canada they don't come up too often and when they do they are gone quick. I was originally thinking 18.5 but reading discussions here I decided to go 22.5". So now I will be hanging around this forum a bit more trying to learn from the more experienced. That's 4 Weber's now..............DW gave me the look when she saw the WSM....you know the one ?

Great deal! You will love it. Now get some meat on that thing!

My wife gave up on the look, she knows Im going to keep feeding my addiction, congrats on the new rig.

Awesome! What are you cookin' first?

That look will change when she tastes some of your BBQ.

Thanks guys I am pumped about having one finally. The Performer has served me very well for smoking. Only complaints - takes a bit of work to hold a nice, steady 225-250 degrees, longer smokes take some fuel top ups and grill space is limited with at least a 1/3 of the grill dedicated to coals i.e. only 2/3 for meat.

Tomorrow will be the first cook - some simple stuff just to get my feet wet - some baby backs and a shoulder. My dad has a couple of racks too. He did some ribs last week (par-boiled and grilled ) and he wasn't too happy with them. He's an apartment dweller now though so kind of limited on how he can cook. So since I firing it up tomorrow and have the grill space to share (finally) I offered to throw his couple of racks on there .

Nice score, congrats on the new WSM!

Since you've done some smoking with the performer, you will absolutely LOVE the WSM.
Only 4 Webers? My wife would be thrilled if I only had four.
