I didn't want to post until I had time to shoot a few pics but I picked up my first WSM last week.
18.5" that was on craigslist here in town. They were asking $200 but I got it for $150.
Turns out they are long time customers of the shop where I work. Small world.
They cooked on it once and they felt the learning curve was too steep so after it sat around for awhile, they let it go.
I did not even dust it off before snapping these pics. It's like new.
That is till tomorrow when it gets seasoned/cooks a butt.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Even came with a cover and a book on BBQ.
Any pointers you can give me before I fire it up in the morning?
Plan to do the Minion method, how many coals do you light? 10-12?
Should I foil both sides of the water pan or just the top?
G$ says he never uses water and that was my plan. Any thoughts?
