Just got my first WSM and its glorious!! Was totally stoked when I opened the box and found the thermometer port on the side for my probes. Thought for sure I was getting the 2013 version from Amazon. Pictures didn't show the port. VERY cool!! Going to get two chickens this weekend and smoke them before the Niners game to break it in. Going to name one Richard Sherman and the other Pete Carroll. Sorry about the grubby fingerprints...
