Bought the 22" WSM. Did the gaskets and steel door/latch mods. And a Maverick wireless thermometer.
I swear. It's like rolling a Yahtzee every time all the time.
No desire to enter competitions, but I got a personal blue ribbon from Bob Dole. He said it was the best brisket he ever had.
No fair harshing my mellow by telling me he says that to all the girls.
If they come out with a smoker that will tell me EXACTLY how long the stall will be of the brisket once I place it on the cooking grate, I will have found the replacement of my WSM.
But the parting, I can assure you, will be extremely emotional. I can't stand to see a grown Dinny cry.

I buy 40 lbs. For about $35. At smoke temps, I think it runs around 1/2 lb. pellets/hour.
