I finally got my WSM

Barbarian BBQ · 09-27-2012, 08:27 PM

Well, I have been looking for a used CL WSM for a while. Figured I would get an 18.5

Found one on CL, but 22.5 and brand new, 40% off retail at an outlet store. Was lucky, I got to the store right as they opened and as I was purchasing it they got a call from someone else to try to purchase it.

I had figured the 22.5 would be too big, but from everything I have read, it is better to have the extra size and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Gonna fire it up on it's inaugural run with a ham that has been in the freezer all summer and a few fatties on Saturday.

I've got my eye on an 18.5" but I just picked up another 22.5" kettle on sale... I'm starting to run out of room. :)
