    Char griller vs Weber customer support.

    I have both but use my 18.5 more often. Keep in mind it may run hot your first few cooks until all of the smoky goodness seals up any small gaps. Once mine settles in I can go 8-9 hours without touching the vents. Depending on the conditions, I have had 14+ hour burns on 1 load of coal. There is...

    Hello from Charlotte

    Been lurking for awhile, figured I might as well join. Been smoking for a few years now. I primarily use a 18.5 WSM for low and slow and a weber kettle for grilling. I also have a 22.5 WSM and just got a MES 1st gen 30 on Amazon for $149. I couldn't pass it up. Plan on using that for my bacon...
