I have to admit to wondering why 10 18.5 WSMs. Since I bought mine in '09 I don't think that I've seen ten on CL so I'm guessing that you bought most, if not all, new. Are you cooking commercially? If so, wouldn't 22.5s be more suitable? Or one big custom smoker?
I just love 18.5" WSMs. Nothing more to it than that.

Nope, every single WSM I have was a CL or garage sale score. In fact, of the Webers I have now, not a single one was purchased new. I like to think of the Wyocena Yacht Club as a shelter, a haven if you will, for orphaned or neglected Webers.

I cook competitively, but not commercially. I use 4 WSMs at comps, the rest just sit in the shed where, from time to time, I sit and admire them.

I know, I'm a freak.

Which is why I'm here.
I've got Webers. 10 - WSMs, 5 - 22.5" kettles, 2 - 18.5" kettle, 2 - SJS, 2 - SJP, 4 - WGA, 1 vintage Coolie Pan

You must have some pretty good CL-foo to find all of those WSMs! And it must be some haven.Perhaps they are attracted to that area.

And yes, you fit right in!
kettles, smokers...

Hogsy, what size is that pot that fits the SJP? Where did you see it?

Here's the one I bought

Is the SJP an 18" SJ? That's all I could find on Amazon. SJS and SJG are 14"

Is that pot 18"? I think it fits a 14" kettle.

Sorry my bad,
Forgot the SJP was an 18,
So that Vasconia won't fit

WTF is WSM?

Yes, I did cast this vote...........


.......some one had to, I would think, to achieve a balanced polling.......... :D

This made me LOL
If anyone would look at it this way, you're the man for the job!  Keep up the good work...
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!

Yeah, just to balance things out a bit......... 8)

I already have a Pro Q Stacker. It fits tight in the SJP. I cut a few notches in it, still tight. WIll try a few more when I get time. I don't really need one for the SJP, just would be cool to do. I have seen a lot of differnet tamale pots in all kinds of sizes, so I may just get lucky one day. Thanks!  8)

I have a 22 and love it,now thinkin of makin a mini hmm

I purchased an 18.5 that came with the BBQGuru Competitor off craigs.  It's an '06 and the previous owner must have never smoked or scrubbed it clean. 

A couple weeks ago just missed a used twice 22.5 for $125.

Well I don't own any. Today was out and about(Rains and a foot of snow on the ground), looking for Weber deals. Saw my first 22" WSM, they are a rocket ship! You could put everything in the fridge in it and still have room to spare for more. Was impressed, but I don't think I could afford the stock it would take, to do a smoke in one...

Why isn't the 14.5" WSM an option?  ;D I own the 14.5" and the 22.5"

Here's a pic of the original Mini with SJ Mini.
