Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
I have both, but would recommend to 22.5 due to the extra space I have while smoking brisket and ribs the extra space is worth the extra money in my opinion. I bought the 18 for when their was to much for my 22.5 and regret not getting another 22.5 .
