New WSM 22.5....this thing is big.......

VA-Dave · Mar 22, 2013

Received my new WSM 22.5 today. I can't believe how big this thing is. I'm 5' 10" and even the pics seem to shrink it some.

I don't like the door at all.

Everything else is solid though.

I can't wait bro. I've never done a brisket before, so it will be christened with one.

This hobby is getting expensive.

Much too big for you! I'll be right down and switch you my 18.5....always glad to help a Brethren out.

Nice I wish I could still hide behind my WSM. :tsk:

I upgraded my door and charcoal ring, not sure I really needed the ring but I'm very happy with the CB door.

Where did you buy the charcoal ring from?

I'm definitely ditching the door and buying the CB door.

Ahhh, nothing like a shiny new bullet but why wait for brisket, get ya big ol butts and get-r-dirty. You are really going to like that thing.

CB has the s/s ring

VA-Dave · Mar 22, 2013

Saw this when I got home and my heart stopped. There wasn't a scratch on it though and everything fit perfectly.

i wouldn't bother with a new door. it is what it is. a new one won't work any different.

it'll sure look cooler though. :thumb:

Thanks for the link WWFB!

I'll have to snag the grommet kit too.

Where do you guys get the clip that holds your temp probe to the grate?

Congratulations. Just remember it's not how big it is, but how you use it. :biggrin1:

There are 1/8 inch gaps on both sides of the door. I'd be stunned if they didn't leak.
