    Breaking out the WSM

    Yes. I always do chicken and almost always do ribs on the WSM, the WSM is very little maintenance, its just too easy. Now, with the Yoder. I like the activity of smoking and I like my stick burner because I get to monitor it and maintain it … It gives me something to do for a day. However...
