I have both and u have to think about the ease of cooking larger cuts that the 22.5 offers. Better for brisket, ribs, large turkeys, multiple butts etc... Plus if u ever wanna add a rib-o-lator you need the larger. Water bowl sits higher above charcoal grate also.
Sometimes when my maverick is in a fat pocket it goes a bit crazy as the fat renders. What usually works to me is to probe another spot on butt, this also tells u how tender the meat is. To pull u want that probe to go in like a hot knife in warm butter.
My temp goes down when I remove my lid. Do you use you're water pan? I also run mine at 220* and make sure no foil or metal touches my probe. Is your wsm brand new? Mine ran hotter first couple of smokes.
It's been a while but two phone calls lead to this smoke. A good friend I grew up with called me with his mom passing away today. We are both in our late 20's. Not a hour later a guy I grew up with who I consider family ran into my mom and called me. He mentioned "everything happens for reason"...
It's fine my butts that size take about 24 hours. I don't foil and I use ether my et73 or my et 732 in my wsm if u don't bake in foil takes longer to cook.
