already got a large BGE, is a WSM a good addition?

[McGG]

I'm not sure if it would be redundant at this point?

Thoughts?

Why not just build a UDS>?:decision:

[BBQ Bandit]

Not redundant... consider how are you going to traansport the BGE?
There's always a time or place for a plan B.

There's nothing wrong with supplementing your BBQ gear... especially with a WSM.

[Jason TQ]

If you need the smoking space, yes. If you dont really need it but can afford another cooker, yes.

Very well said...
I have 3 BGE's, Backwoods Compeditor, 22.5 WSM and a gasser. And use them all quit often.

It is a little redundant, but gives you more capacity and flexibility. You can have the WSM going and still be able to grill or bake in the Egg.

That wasn't the question.

[NRA4Life]

My opinion: You can never have too many guns, too much ammunition, or too many smokers.

[McGG]

You're replies are all thoroughly enabling. I shall purchase the smoker in question.

[txschutte]

You will find, as your smoking gets better, the WSM is a different flavor as the BGE or even a UDS. Capacity is another reason for getting the WSM.

I picked up a bge a few weeks back. Not selling my WSM. Go for it!

[Setdahook]

I cant say its a bad idea at all I go the other way though and use the bge more for low and slow smokes and a weber or gasser for searing.

[fingerlickin']

If I had a large BGE, I'd build a UDS just for the capacity and price point. I don't even have a UDS so I'm not biased yet, but hopefully I will be soon. :grin: Just don't mention it to the wife until I wheel it into the yard. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

[yakdung]

I built and have owned a UDS for years. I recently purchased a WSM 22.5 and haven't used my UDS as much anymore. Different animals and love them both. I would purchase a WSM.

[LMAJ]

Yep - great addition. Like others have said, gives you more capacity and more flexibility. GO FOR IT!!!

[ccarter]

I use the BGE for grilling. I use the WSM for everything below 350 degrees.

You'll definitely like having both. You'll be able to smoke all day/night on the WSM and then do a little high-heat finishing on the BGE.
