I would also recommend a hitch hauler. I got mine from Amazon for $120 and free shipping from prime. It's 24x60. For a reference, here it is on the back of my Grand Cherokee.



Sorry for the large photo, but I am on my phone and don't know how to resize from here.

2 x 18 will take up more room than a single 22.5 and then you have to manage 2 fires instead of one. Dumb move.

I agree with newtwoq. If you're going to start competing, you should keep it. You'll find yourself wanting, or needing another one. It's a bit tricky to smoke different meats in a WSM when competing . Turn-in times vary and you're always making last minute adjustments prior to turn-in. For competition, if you can afford to have a WSM for each category, all you need to worry about is room for trophies. My ol' beat up 22" is my Brisket machine on cook offs.

I think do to value and cost of getting set up you would be best to keep your 22" (perfect size for briskets and long ribs) and try to pick up a used 18" or new if you can afford it. The 22" is big but still portable.

Keep the 22" and invest in a Cajun Bandit Stacker.
