I think that was a good choice. They are relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and produce great Q. I have both the 18.5" and the 22.5" WSMs, and definitely prefer the 22.5". Much easier to fit ribs and briskets on.

Usually my hands, but im a mechanic by trade my mits are built into my hands, i have a pair of insulated food gloves for pulling meat apart though. Bear claws would work exept if you had foiled products on there you would tear through it and have jusces everywhere

you guys are really making me want that WSM 22.5! I'm just not sure if i will be able to tend to it. i mean i am a complete noob when it comes to smoking… i do like to do things the right way first time around, so I'm worried if i do go with a gas and never learn to burn the sticks then ill be lacking in my skills down the line. i am super glad i found this forum though and registered.. i can tell i will learn a lot!

They convinced me. I know I really enjoy a burger cooked on charcoal vs gas. Smoking brings it to the next level. |

Only reason I'm harping on it right now before you even have your new toy is that you said you were making chicken. And brother if there's one thing you'll learn is that chicken and other birds take smoke VERY easily. If you lay the white smoke to your bird you won't be as happy as you'd have been if you put it on after the smoker had settled in. |

I have purchased and given away numerous cheap smokers. When I buy cheap, I am never happy with how the cooker works. I finally learned my lesson and now just bite the bullet and purchase quality. It is cheaper to buy a good cooker than 2 or 3 cheap ones. (But now I have 6 cookers and love each and every one).
I know it is above your stated price range, but you should consider a Cookshack electric smoker. They are outstanding quality. Best feature is the insulation, giving you a more constant cooking temperature and a cooker that you can still use in the dead of winter. I just looked at a Masterbuilt yesterday, and laughed out loud. The quality of that thing was a small fraction of my 20 year old Cookshack (only replaced a thermostat in all that time). 30 day money back guarantee. If you do not like it for ANY reason, send it back for a full refund. But be careful. You will be so successful at creating quality Q that the next thing you know you are going to be buying another cooker to compete with....

If you are buying new, they should have the rubber boot to allow you to push through multiple probes. It has a single hole at the top that someone here taught me to just push my pit temp probe into. Below that is a slotted line that I push my meat temp probe and my Pitmaster IQ120 probes through if I am using them. Quote:
