4hr roundtrip for $300 22.5 WSM?
Been looking for a WSM on CL for a week and finally found one. It's 22.5" model, looks to be in excellent condition, comes with cover, and 50lbs of charcoal. The asking price is $300 and it would be a 4hr roundtrip for me to get it. I'm thinking this is a good deal but also think I can probably get a new one for $300 on sale somewhere in town. What do you guys think, should I jump on that or just wait awhile for a new one. Not like I need it right now it's just the want factor. I only got my first smoker 2 weeks ago and have already picked up a Weber Smokey Joe and Weber One-Touch Silver off of CL. I think I have a problem. But in all seriousness I'll only jump on it if you guys think it's a really good deal.

Amazon has them new right now for ~350 (with gas it'll cost you more for the one on CL)

Definitely not worth a 4 hr drive.

Definitely pass it up. Imagine you make the 2 hour drive to get there and a bunch of crap is wrong with it. Then you'd have to make that 2 hour drive back home empty handed. Fark that!

$335 on Sears.com when I looked the other day and if you have a Sears in your town, you can just pick it up there and not pay shipping.
