I have never heard anyone say they wish they had gone for the smaller smoker or grill. It sonds like you will be eating good in a little while.Thx guys! Lid won't move till the mac and cheese and little smokies go on:). I'm cheating on the mac and cheese I thawed some Marie Callender's just to try it! Also have beans and a tater casserole going in the oven, should have bought the 22.5 WSM.
