Finally got one. 22.5”Weber Smokey Mountain and let me tell ya it is a sweet cooker. Just did a rack of ribs and it ran flawlessly with very little adjustment for 5 hrs. I’m loving it. Whole different world than burning sticks. Now I ask myself why did I wait so long to get one. Oh yeah paid $120. Nasty divorce. She was just gonna kick it down the street. Only been used a few times. Lucky me. Right place right time.

Thanks Kevin. It is just like brand new. Had to season it and everything. She said her soon to be ex only used it a few times. Not even enough to get it seasoned properly.

Nice score! Is there much difference in flavor between the WSM and your stick burner?

Not a whole lot of difference with the ribs in taste. I think the longer cooks like a brisket or pork shoulder will really be the tell. But so far the ribs I cooked were comparable. I’m loving the ease of use though.

What a score! Take some of the money you saved and but the Gateway 50 gallon hanging rack. I promise you will love it!
