I'm too old and lazy to deal with a stick burner, especially when it's about 5 degrees above hell outside. Smoker has mods like RTV on all joints, lavalock on cook chamber, lid clamps not shown in picture. Listing it for the craigslist idiots for $350 or trade for Smokey mountain 22 that isn't trashed. might consider 18.5" WSM, but think I'll regret it. My whole thoughts is that the WSM is somewhat "portable and will fit easily in our toy hauler along with my 'zuki quad runner. Also can't buy decent wood for shit down here in N Cuba.
