I have the smoker bug again after my last smoker cramping out on me after ten years hard use. I am trying to decide between an used older 22.5 or an used newer 18.5. I used to have a nib 18.5 I won at auction for 100 bucks but the vents froze shut on me. I never remember wanting more space with it I will be cooking for myself most of the time and occasionally small crowds of <10 people. I am planning a cook labor day and would like to do six 8 lb butts on the grill. Could this be accomplished easily on an 18? I've seen people fit 8 8 lb butts on the 22 making me think six on an 18 is possible! I am also wondering if there is a reason to not get the stoker atc? It is what I am leaning towards even though it's a little pricey.
