I’ve been all over the place in smoker shopping. For a while I was hell bent on the ease of a pellet, or the Kamado s, but I think I’ve decided to pull the trigger on a WSM. I’ve been using my 22 Kettle and PK Original for all of my outdoor needs, but I want a little more. Most smokes are done on the PK, just because I love the temp control on the thick cast aluminum, but there are serious size limitations.
I adore my green kettle, $25 estate sale find that replaced my 15 year old Kettle that had given up after years of New England weather, plus a few years at the in-laws beach cottage.
I’m really leaning towards the 22, just because it seems like I’ll never need anything bigger, but will it be too big? How is the temp control? I’ll occasionally do turkeys, briskets, but most cooks will be chickens, butts and little for just a handful of people. I’ve seen some videos of smaller briskets on the 18 WSM, but it seems tight, and a hassle.
Anyway, hello all, happy to be here, can’t wait to start getting some bbq smell in the neighborhood.
