Hello from Pgh., Pa. I've been Q-ing for approx, 1.5 years. I started out with a PBC cooker. I've had good luck with it, so now I want to learn more about temp. control and ATC devices. From what I've read here, I think the WSM is the way to go. There are so many good people and so much info on this site, I can't wait to get started. Thanks.
