    Well made the decision and chose the 22.5 WSM. Thanks for all of your input. Chose the bigger model since I figured if I need it I got it. One of the big drivers was price as well as a huge user base. Looking at mods, almost all were to improve usability (i.e. Wheels, extra handles, etc). None...

    Krex. Thanks. It seems like both have their loyal following. Glad to hear the WSM does good in cold. I was leaning toward the WSM but the PBC has some really good reviews and following. One thing that is a plus for the WSM is if you seal it well you can snuff out the charcoal. There isn't a way...

    Here's a little update. Have narrowed things down to the WSM and Pit barrel cooker. After standing outside recently in the cold doing some grilling I realized that as much as I like fiddling with the fire in an offset what I really want is a set it and forget it cook. While an assassin is what I...

    Darbin, thanks. Really appreciate your feedback. It is really comparing apples to oranges. Just trying to look at all the angles. Again appreciate all the feedback. Will let you all know what I decide. Still looking for any other opinions.

    Darbin. Thanks. A WSM is a Webber Smokey Mountain. A smaller vertical smoker and not really in the same category as an assassin. It sounds like the 24 would suit my needs. Just trying to look at all the angles. I know what you mean about being a little too smokey. While good in some ways it...

    So also looking at this from a different angle -- WSM 22.5. What would the capacity be for this? From a cost perspective, I could buy 4 of these and still be ahead of the cost of an assassin. Plus I wouldn't have to buy a trailer to move it. I know it wouldn't be as efficient as a vertical and...

    Forgot to say thanks to Al. Darbin. Thanks for the info and pics. This really helped. Is there a reason you went with the 24 vs the 28? Still trying to figure out the best size. Guess I will need to give them a call and talk to them. Brett. Thanks for the info. I like to fiddle too but...

    Red and Gordito. Thanks for the information. I was leaning toward the vertical from an ease of use as well as the insulating factor. For me charcoal is a lot easier to get than wood although not impossible. I have the current offset which does double for a grill so right now not replacing...

    Thanks. I definitely see the pros and cons to each. I enjoy fiddling but also like the idea of set it and go with the gravity fed. The upright would be more consistent as well from a temp perspective I'm assuming since you don't have the spikes from the firebox. How much of an issue is it...

    Was hoping someone could get me started in the right direction. Currently have a chargriller offset and planning on upgrading. Would like to try my hand at some competitions and small catering. What size of smoker would be good to start with. Much of what I do is small cooks for family but...
