Hello.My name is Thomas.
I've been checking out this site for sometime now.
I just found an older 18.5" WSM (P=1993) at a yard sale for $60.00
I thought this was a good price.So I bought it. It has two dents on the lid but other than that it's in good shape.
Very clean inside and out.
The waterpan and the grates look like they've never been used.
I think maybe the former owner used it once or twice and never used it again
Sometimes we get lucky.
P.S. My thing is Ribs for now. But I'm sure that will change.
My question is this is there a sweet spot temp wise for smoking spares.
I have read everything from 225 to(275 from Harry Soo)
Or will I be fine if I just stay in that range.
I thank you for any input I can get.
I plan on smoking some spares for the first time this weekend
