    Thinking about a WSM 18.5in...would love feedback

    This has provided tons of great information. I was just at Bass Pro Shop this afternoon, saw the 18.5, and think it's going to be perfect. Last question (more of preference) that I have.

    Thinking about a WSM 18.5in...would love feedback

    Hi SMF, this is my first post and I'm excited to be here. I currently have a MES30, and have been using it to smoke ribs, pork shoulders, and brisket (with great success) for almost 6 months. I'm giving serious consideration into a WSM 18.5in as my first leap into charcoal/wood. I've done a lot...

    Yoder Cheyenne Offset Smoker - Wichita KS

    Hi all. I know this is an older thread, but starting to do some research on charcoal/wood smokers and interested in the offset smoker setup. I currently have an MES30 and am giving serious consideration into a WSM 18.5 as my first leap into charcoal/wood.  I found great information on the Yoder...
