Title: Finally!
Post by: Mrnomad on August 04, 2019, 07:28:51 PM
Finally found a WSM 22.5 for a decent price. Advertised as an 18, gotta love the upside down build. Cleaned up nicely but still needs a few items. Ordered a coal grate, thermo, and cover. This thing is a beast!”

I probably should have bought this one for 150, but I tried to talk the guy down even more, and he wasnt a haggler. Lol

I just bought a 22 on Saturday for $75. I need to work the door a little and maybe add a gasket to it and it will be good to go. I always store my WSM's with the center section upside down so water says out...even under the cover.

Sounds like a good idea. A lot of crud builds up in the gap. The door doesnt appear to fit as snug as my 18 does - may need to seal it.

The door on my 18 fits much tighter than on my 22 and I still have a gasket on it. I never use the door so I like it sealed up tight.

Well shoot. That's an excellent idea. Thanks!
