I have learned a lot from you all; and I hope to add value to the wonderful world of BBQ'ers.
Happy Smoking,
Erik:wsm:
 
Welcome to the site neighbor. I'm just up the road away from you in Browns Valley, ca. I've saw Folsom lake the other day (or what is left of it)! You might consider running your WSM water bowl dry until it rains ;)
 
Dustin...
I drove up to Yuba City today... (I googled Browns Valley)...
Thanks for the shout
Man, I thought I had a lot of BBQ equipment :)
I'm told the 18" WSM holds heat longer and more consistent.... I have a 22" and love it, but I'm finally getting the heat control down after about a year.
What are your 'specialties'? I've finally gotten my Brisket down; and the traditional St. Louis Ribs and pork shoulder...
Have a great day!
Erik

Hey Erik,
Yeah I have a few Webers ;)...added a ranch kettle to the fleet a few weeks ago. The 18 does seem to hold heat better than the 22 and uses a lot less fuel. Holding temps on the 22 can be a challenge but it sounds like you got that part figured out. The 22 was my first WSM and looking back and knowing what I know now I would have started with an 18. The 22 is great however for large cools and doing spares flat. I find myself using my little 14 the most.

As for specialties, ribs and tri-tip. I cook a lot of tri-tip between family gathers and field days/tours at the ranch. I've done a few briskets over the years but mine have been hit or miss.

Glad to hear from you. This is a great site with tons of information. Great people too!
