Congratulations on your new WSM and kettle! You’re going to love them.

Update 2 - Success!

First cook went off without a hitch! I can see why the WSM has such a following. Did a Boston Butt. Hit and maintained 225 consistently throughout the cook. 12 hours later - bam! I had to add fuel in hour 8 but I think that had to do with humidity and simply going just a tad light on the briquettes when I filled her up initially.

My first true smoke in the books. Couple Pics attached. Pickiest eaters at the BBQ - my 6 year old included - cleaned their plates so efforts were well worth it. Thanks again for all the guidance and input, all.

Keep on smokin the good stuff!

Great to hear. I went through four or five smokers before i got my WSM. I have no desire to own another smoker. I love the ability to do overnight cooks without a worry in the world. You made a great choice!

I did upgrade the door on my 22 and added the hinge. Both worth the investment to me. My original door didnt fit well - the aftermarket works excellent!

Happy Smoking!
