A little late to the thread, but Ill give my feedback on the
WSM.
My smoker is a
chargriller offset, but a friend loaned me a
WSM, and I have used it pretty much every weekend since May 9th. I have to return it next week when we get together for a fried chicken crawl.
This is my impressions of the
WSM after about 15 uses:
Pros:
- great at holding temperature
- light it and forget it, no messing with vents, etc.
- compact
- uses less fuel than my offset does
- turns out a pretty good rack of ribs
Cons:
- capacity compared to an offset
- price - $300 is a tough sell for my wife
If the price was right I would buy one.
