The Monday Motherlode!

[Aaron Legge]

NIB WSMs are a rare find in these parts let alone a used one so imagine my surprise when I found one on kijiji for $100 this weekend.

Picked it up on my lunch break, $75 for:
- 18.5" WSM w/cover
- 1/2 bag of RO lump
- 1lb of cherry wood chips
- extra chimney starter

Just needs a little TLC, only been used a half dozen times, grates are a little rusty but nothing some elbow grease can't take care of.

The guy I bought from said "I bought it and realized I just don't like smoked food." Good thing I do!

I spent a good hour tonight cleaning the grates. Lots of CLR, Barkeep’s Friend and elbow grease!
