Just scored a new WSM 14 for next to nothing

[KloeShuman]

Just wanted to pass along my score...I work for an Ace Hardware and we had a WSM 14 that had been there at least 2 years, I talked to my boss and was given a deal to good to pass up. I had a gift card to use so it only cost me $33 out of pocket! Cant wait to use it tomorrow

Great score bud. Have fun with it!

 

[Michael Richards]

Congrats that is a great score! I love my WSM 14 and I hope you do as well. What are you planning to cook for it's first run?

 

[Rich G]

Sounds great, Kloe! I've always considered the WSM at full price to be a score, so getting one new or used at a discount is just icing on the cake!

Have fun getting to know your new rig, and pop back in to share your results or ask questions!

I'm thinking of throwing on a whole chicken for the first run, wanted to grab a pork butt but cant seem to find one today

Awesome pick up! Hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve been enjoying mine since Christmas!

I'm sure I will love it, is there a way to hang ribs on the 14?

Check these options out. The problem with getting the WSM 14 for such a great price is the accessories seem ever more expensive then normal. I have not used either of these, but from everything I have read you still need to cut them in half even with the rack in the 14.

If you are going whole chicken I highly highly recommend this cooking method from our leader Chris.

It stayed at about 225 for the cook, chicken turned out great, I found it very easy to control heat...I did it whole with my rub on it
