It seems that the karma is already flowing even before our mini-meetup next week in the DC area. Marty put up a link on that thread about a WSM he saw in the area. Having missed that posting myself and thinking it was a long-shot, I nevertheless emailed the seller. The guy got right back to me, and we made arrangements to pick it up the next morning. The karma continued as I asked if the smoker was a 22 (as the post indicated) or an 18 (as it appeared to me). He apologized and said he was mistaken-- he got confused by the 22 OTG he was also selling. Which was exactly what my buddy has been looking for, so I bought it too ($30, including the char baskets and a big bag of Kingsford comp seemed like a good deal to me).
This is the third used 18.5 WSM I've purchased (one for me, and two for friends), and the cheapest by far: 70 BUCKS! Including the cover and 2 bags of K-comp. Marty is charmed, for sure. And when I picked it up, the seller told me that I wasn't the first person to respond, but that the first response was rather rude so he moved on to me. Sweet.
Sure is fun buying used Weber stuff on a sunny Saturday!
And a vent shot for Marty:
