Title: Wife said its ok to buy.
Post by: power on August 30, 2016, 03:32:23 PM
Hi guys use to have a wsm  and I sold it because storage issues! Still have 5 webers. When i brought my last wsm 4 years ago the 47 was the only type available! So what would you guys recommend of the 3 sizes, or stick with what i know! Think i paid $400 back then, soo expensive now! Think the wife will freak out when she sees the prices.

Where are you from? Those prices would be ridiculous prices, based on the American dollar.

I like the middle size for the happy medium between big enough for ribs but not so big it consumes fuel.  As always, it depends on how you plan to us it.    The 18 (47) is my preference.  The 22 (57) is bigger than I need to cook for one or two families, particularly with a stable of kettles on hand.

Good lord, those prices are shocking!

Note to self: bring my own Weber when I go to Australia next year for cousin's wedding.

I have all three and find the middle size most useful. The big one can cook a lot of meat but takes a lot of fuel.The little one is a little tricky to get good results with.

Welcome back to the fold!!
