    toys that you can't live without

    Don't have much in terms of toys myself just yet, but if you've got a Weber Kettle then you should check out the Smokenator. It's treated me well so far.

    New Smoker Saying Hi

    Thanks for the welcome. I'll be sure to post pictures of my next smoke. I'll be doing ribs and chicken drumsticks on Sunday. Gonna try cooking them at the same time. Smokenator weber 22.5 with the ribs on the main rack and chicken on the hover grill. We'll see how it goes. Gonna try and find a...

    WSM 22 1/2 vs 18 1/2

    Appreciate the first hand insight. It's a shame to hear that these smokers are so well known for leaking that after market gaskets are standard practice. You'd think they'd solve this issue during R&D over at Webber. When I decide to pull the trigger on one, most likely the 22.5, I'll be sure...

    Nice. Do you feel over gunned with the 22.5 ? Looking back would the 18.5 have suited your needs well or are you happy you went with the bigger model? If I pull the trigger on one it won't be until next year's Summer/4th of july sales to save what I can on one.

    Looks like that thing can hold some big meat for sure. Makes a good case for the 18.5. Thanks for the pics Appreciate the visual. If I needed more space I've got the 22.5 Gold Kettle with the Smokenator to pick up any slack smoking I might need to do. My gut has been telling me that the...

    WSM 22 1/2 vs 18 1/2

    Nice. I like this. I had to google it but now I like it. Either way I'm sure I'll pick up something bigger but this little guy seems like the prefect companion for those week long camping and fishing trips. Thanks for the heads up I'll be building one of these for sure ! Agreed. I'm looking at...

    Newbie smoker here sourcing opinions on these two smokers from people that know what's up. Currently running a 22 1/2 One Touch Gold with the Smokenator and additional rack.  I have no immediate plans on purchasing another cooker. I'm just sourcing opinions from people who have lots of...

    New Smoker Saying Hi

    Just wanted to give the what's up to you all coming at you from Buffalo, NY. I never really had a big interest in smoking meat in the past. I'd just pop whatever on the grill until it was done and that was that. Then our gas grill took a shit this year and I needed to find a replacement. In...
