"The fact is I have two little kids and a demanding job. I just don't have the time."

The very reason I bought a pellet cooker, Yoder, and no regrets

Again, I just want to do a chicken or a turkey or some wings in it at a higher temp.

Buy a drum - Gateway, Hunsaker, OK Joes Bronco - and cook chicken/turkey to your heart's content.

Congrats on your decision to go with a Shirley!

Just like spec'ing out a Porsche, the options add up fast. The good news is you have time to pay things out, just like with a car or pickup. You can add a few things that aren't over the top without really effecting in a meaningful way what the cost difference is every month.

In the end, you have something that will bring joy and happiness into your life for years.

In my mom's case, I knew we hit a 'home run' when she made her coffee and went to the garage to drink it in the seat of her new Macan months after we brought it home. Whether 40K or 140K, it was money well spent considering the joy it brought her.

I just want to say what captured me the most about this post was knowing someone else is just as much an over analyzing long winded person as me [emoji1787]. But proof that This forum is an awesome group of folks, no one discouraged you at all. Lots of detailed, somewhat long replies. Anyway, looks like you have it worked out and plan to go with your gut. Get the one you want bro. Warmer and all. So what if it’s too big. So what If it’s extra space and 90% of the time you won’t need it. You still have your WSM plus you can Get a Webber kettle for small cooks over high heat. Look at it as an investment for the future. What you spend on it now won’t matter when you are still cooking on it for your kids high school and college graduations years from now. Plus...Kids and wives will spend your money with no hesitation, and the only thing you get out of the deal is to see them happy. At least your toy will benefit everyone around you. Treat yourself while you can bro... happy cooking!
