    WSM - is it worth the expense?

    This may be blasphemy, but is the WSM really worth the expense?   I have the opportunity to purchase a lightly used 18.5 with cover for $175.00.   However I'm having a difficult time justifying the purchase.  I have achieved good results with my 22-inch one touch kettle, ribs, brisket, pork...
