Thanks for your advice a little while back...time to start smoking

A lot of great food have come off that design!!!!!!! congrats and smoke away!!!!!!

A fine choice! You should consider a 55 gallon sized Gateway rib hanging kit in the future. They run about $50. It will open up a lot of options for you, and they are lots of fun to use. Fantastic for poultry!

Build a UDS!!! Just kidding - the Weber is a great smoker and I’m sure it will give you years of service. Try not to be a control freak on the temps - it’s hard to help it some times. The food will taste great no matter what temp its cooked at - finish the cook to feel not to a predetermined temp. There are a lot of accessories that make it an even better experience and it is really versatile. I had a 22 and sold it and then bought an 18 and a 22 after building two stainless UDS’s. They are a lot of fun - enjoy.
