I purchased my WSM from Wal-Mart and wished I hadn't. Even though the item price is lower, after you add the shipping and sales tax. Yes, they charged me sales tax!. The actual cost ends up being higher. In my defense I did not know about this site when I ordered. Wal-Mart did process the order quickly and it shipped the same day, but from Spokane, WA. I live in central Ohio. Imagine how I felt when I then read Chris's commentary on the inadequate WSM packaging. I tracked the WSM across the entire country. Delivery took over a full week. The poor WSM was loaded and unloaded at least siz times and it then fell off the UPS guy's dolly as he brought it up my driveway. The box was pretty battered, scuffed up and punctured in a couple of places, but luckily there was no damage.
I would recommend Amazon. That's where I got all my accessories (Polder, rib racks, cookbooks, etc) They shipped and delivered everything in 3 days. Free shipping and didn't charge me sales tax. Support this site.
