What size is this WSM?

[steveD]

It was an AU date stamped (i.e. 2012 production) 18.5" WSM... I'd say not a bad haul for $125:

A little bit of rust on the grates, and it is a bit dirty but it should clean up nicely...
Top rack:

Bottom rack:

Water bowl:

Charcoal rack and ring:

Charcoal grate:

Good deal! One of these days, my ship will come! Too bad I'll be on the wrong train in the opposite direction!

Since this model does not have a port for probe wires, which is the preferred alternative - route them between the lid and middle section, or between the middle section and bottom?

There is a "notch" mod that goes between the mid section and the lid. Look it up in the "mods" section. Best if used with a gasket, I believe.

Clean up the grates, ditch the water pan , and get a foil wrapped terra cotta plate and you'll be good to go!

Nice find!

Yes, just cut a slot to route the wires under the lid. No gasket required. http://virtualweberbullet.com/cutting-a-probe-thermometer-slot.html
