I bought my first wsm 22" last month. Talk about consistent. I use the dry pan method and temps are right on the money. Cooked 4 whole 5lb birds and a Lodge #12 oven full of home made baked beans on top. Perfect for the 3rd time in a row. This smoker is so easy. I have a remote smoker thermometer and it makes it a set it and forget it smoker. After lots of research on this site about how temps run I crack my bottom 3 vents and use the minion method and the magic happens. 5 hours on the chicken at 255-270 temp ranges and another 2 for the beans. Perfection! I'll take pics next time. I love my WSM.
