Good afternoon all,
Name is Jeremiah and currently reside out in SoCal (around Camp Pendleton). I figured while I'm looking around for a deal on my first smoker I'd do my due diligence and research, research, research (doesn't seem to be any used ones listed out here; so, I maybe researching a lot till I have to pull the trigger on a new one).
So, here I am absorbing the wealth of knowledge I discovered on this forum. Really have enjoyed reading through your threads.
I'm leaning toward a 22" WSM as my first purchase. Eventually want to go with a larger wood smoker, but for now it seems the WSM is a sound investment both monetarily and learning curve wise. I found an 18" at the local base exchange on sale for $230, but I think I'll hold out for a 22". There's just the wife, the 2 dogs, and myself but we have a lot of potlucks between church and work. Besides I will smoke probably every weekend for the upcoming week, and I hate buying something in a smaller version if I have the least bit of hesitancy thinking I'd use the larger.
Any words of wisdom and advice is much appreciated!
Really excited to join the community and get to know ya'll.
Be safe,
Jer
