@fedex you will love the 18 WSM! I have flipped a few of them, but I will always keep my first one. It will hold a steady temp all night and holds 10-12 hours of fuel.
If your door leaks too much, try putting it in upside-down. They tend to seal better that way.
I have the 18 and 22 and want the 14 to complete the set. What makes the 14 harder to use compared to the 18 ?

My 14 is great for short 4-6 hour cooks.
It has a small charcoal ring that only holds enough fuel to run that long. Adding additional fuel only goes so far because the ashes start covering the bowl vents and choking the fire out.
I smoked a pork butt in it and had to transfer my fire to a chimney, empty the bowl and start over about 2/3 of the way through the cook.
