Thanks for sharing the cook and your thoughts on a 22 WSM. I've been wanting an 18 or 22 and haven't decided which one I'd prefer. Also galbi for the win!

You really can't go wrong with either. Most say go up and get the big one...have the extra room and be done with it. 22WSM uses more fuel...but really...if you only cook on it a few times a year, does it matter? If you are only cooking 1 brisket, or 2 pork butts, or 2 racks of ribs at a time occasionally...then a cheap 18WSM might be a better bet.
I have been perfectly fine with an 18WSM. They are the ones that pop up the most and are the cheapest to find used. There are advantages/disadvantages to each size. Most people that have each size use the 22WSM the most. For a space issue, If I ever need more room ill supplement my 18WSM with another 18WSM or...a 26.75."
@greenweb...a good grate thermometer will really change your game (Thermoworks Smoke). Sometimes I find the factory lid thermo accurate to the grate temp, other times its hotter/colder depending on conditions and cooking method.
