Just picked up an 'N' code (1991) 18" WSM this week and she cleaned up really nice. I love my 14" but this should make a great addition when a little more space is needed.

Came with a pretty cool old cover too.

Cool, congrats on the new acquisition! I like the old cover, too.
I started the other way around, with a 22" WSM... Will probably have all 3 sizes someday.

I also have the same combo. Nice pick up.
Nice find.
Nice work, man! That handle is in great shape, and the cover too. Plus the cover isn't too tight like my newer cover(s)-- I end up storing my 18 WSM under a big trash bag.
Now get some food and start seasoning that beauty!
AnakiMana,
I started with the 22" WSM too but found it was just too big for my needs. It's a real monster. A big beautiful monster, but a monster non-the-less. I sold it to get my 26" OTG, which I love. I really do love the 14" WSM because it's so efficient on charcoal. Admittedly it sometimes falls short on space. I think between the 14" and 18" WSMs, my needs are covered.
