Hey, no problem. I have two kettles; one is set up for pizza. Plus I have the WSM.  If my wife saw me doing two things with one cooker, she'd start making comments about how she could really use the space on the patio for something else, so "why don't you sell one?"

WSM for smoking : 18 for pork butts and 22 for full brisket and full racks of ribs. Kettle for steaks, burgers, etc.

What Is Hoosier-style cooking I keep seeing mentioned ? Is it cooking pulled pork in a crock pot ? 

Hoosier-style is referring to @Hoosierkettle’s method of cooking chicken parts in the wsm with no water pan.  Gives a nice indirect yet direct heat good for crisp skin and provides lovely flavor from drippings falling in hot coals.

I never use my WSM for low and slow smoking.  Clean up was too much of a PITA for me.  I found that I had to completely disassemble the WSM after each cook to clean out the ashes, and pretty cumbersome to always need extra space for the lid and mid-section.  Don’t even get me started on the “water” pan.  I’ve had all the WSM sizes in various setups and settled on a 22”  on top of an SSP with gas assist.  Using the one-touch to dispose of ashes eliminates the need to break down the entire cooker and adding a lid hinge further reduces the footprint.  Obviously the gas assist is pretty convenient too.  I predominantly use my WSM for hanging- and Hoosier-style cooks. 

I use a 26 or Ranch for low and slow smoking. 

Good discussion.

Totally Agree; my Weber Performer Deluxe with the gas assist fitted with a SlowNSear Plus has replaced my WSM 18" Classic that I bought new in the year 2008.
