Just got my 22 last week and this morning I saw a Craigslist ad for an unused 18. Had a small ding with chipped enamel at the top rim of the center section and a small ding in the same spot on the lid. Both were easy to bend back in place. A little high heat paint and it will barely be noticeable.

BTW, did my first cook in on the 22 yesterday. Took a couple of pictures at the beginning but forgot to take at the end.

Cooked some beef chuck roast, low and slow to make pulled beef. I would have used thicker pieces but Sam's reduced fotr quick sale. Gave it a shot and wasn't disappointed.

Just need a 14.5 for the WSM hat trick!
I've already got a mini-WSM.

I like to think of my mini as adopted since it doesn't look like the rest of the family.
